throttle. So whether you are riding around town, from one set of traffic lights to the next, or out for a weekend trip or long journey, the Gilera Nexus 300 has all the multifunctional flair you need, and combines the practicality of an urban commuter with the excitement and sparkle of a true sports scooter.

DESIGN. ITALIAN SPORTS PERFORMANCE.
With the introduction of the new 300 cc engine, the Gilera Nexus has also evolved in design to combine improved protection with typically Italian sports performance.
The Nexus 300’s modern lines focus on the front of the scooter to create a dynamic, sporty look while the slender, agile tail conveys a clear impression of the Nexus’ exuberant nature.

The headlight cluster maintains the Gilera family look and gives the Nexus 300 a particularly penetrating profile. The dashboard incorporates analog and digital instruments with elegant red backlighting. On top of the generous front shield, the windshield can be adjusted in heightto guarantee unrivalled comfort in all weather.
The seat has been completely redesigned using new materials for greater comfort and a perfectly ergonomic sitting position.A broad and comfortable platform allows you to adopt three different riding postures and remain relaxed at all times. The passenger also has two generously sized fold-away footrests. The 34 litre under-seat storage compartment is big enough to hold two helmets (one full-face and one semi-jet), confirming the rational design of the Nexus 300. Because though conceived to delivery maximum riding thrills, the Gilera Nexus never forgets that it also excels as an urban scooter.

PERFORMANCE CHASSIS.
The chassis of the Gilera Nexus 300 has evolved to keep pace with the increased engine power.The most important development is the larger, 15” front wheel that offers obvious benefits in terms of road holding and precision.

Rear suspension comes in the form of two robust and dependable shock absorbers with three spring preload settings for optimum damping and control. At the front the Nexus 300 is equipped with a hydraulic telescopic fork with 35 mm stanchions.
