The Vespa GTS has always evolved along the path of tradition, striking a magical balance between tradition and modernity in the lines of its body, made strictly of steel.

The numerous updates made to the design of the new Vespa GTS are no exception, the model standing out from previous versions while also retaining its distinctive characteristics. The front light and rear light set now adopt full LED light technology, a solution that contributes to heightening active safety. The front end features a redesigned shield, at the centre of which is the unmistakeable horn cover, now longer and enhanced with three decorations. Also new are the shape of the handlebars, the chrome-plated crest on the front mudguard, the rear-view mirrors and the grilles along the side of the shield, now featuring a brand-new honeycomb motif.
