Each design element and technical feature on the scooter testifies to a revolutionary project - the final transmission is belt-driven; the large aluminium fork is anchored to a hydraulic single shock, mounted laterally in a horizontal position with seven-position spring preload; the aluminium fork has 41 mm shafts. The wheels (16” in front, with a 120/70 tyre, and 15” rear with a 160/60 tyre) ensure road grip and steering precision worthy of a motorcycle.


Stopping power is provided by two 300 mm steel disks in front, gripped by two Brembo dual-piston floating calipers, and a 280 mm rear disk.


The surface treatment, absolutely innovative for a scooter, alternates concave and convex sections; a careful study of surface reflection gives the overall look unique dynamicity. A front end that seems to slice through the air to attack the road is contrasted by a sleek, slender rear end that highlights the vehicle’s manoeuvrability. The wraparound chassis shields and encloses the rider.

However, it is the Gilera GP 800’s unique performance that really determines its extraordinary versatility. Power, speed and acceleration levels are unprecedented for an automatic transmission vehicle, so the rider finds it only natural to travel well beyond the city limits. In fact, the Gilera GP 800’s engine and running gear open up new horizons on rides out of town to make medium and long-distance tourism extremely enjoyable.
