DescriptionThe whole story▼
Machined from a single billet of aluminium and finished in a deep gold anodised coat, the Talos V30 is engineered to deliver measurably stronger, more precise braking than the standard setup on the Vespa GTS 300. Every dimension of this caliper — from its rigid monoblock body to its four hard-anodised 30 mm pistons — reflects racing caliper standards brought directly to road use.
Key Features
- CNC monoblock body machined from a single aluminium billet for exceptional rigidity and minimal flex under hard braking
- Four 30 mm hard-anodised aluminium pistons deliver a firm, linear bite with even pad wear across the full contact patch
- Gold anodised finish provides corrosion resistance, scratch hardness and a premium visual upgrade over the stock caliper
- At 576 g the caliper saves unsprung weight without any compromise to structural integrity
- Compatible with brake pads between 5 mm and 8 mm thick, covering most performance pad options for the GTS 300
- Part number V30.GD — direct fitment for the Vespa GTS 300 front axle
Monoblock Construction — Why It Matters
Conventional two-piece brake calipers are joined along the bridge, creating a natural flex point that dulls feedback and reduces modulation consistency. The V30 eliminates that compromise entirely. Its housing is milled in one continuous operation from solid aluminium, leaving no join lines, no flex zones and no trapped air paths between halves. The result is a caliper that transmits every pressure input from your fingers through to the pads without distortion, and one that resists thermal deformation during extended urban or spirited riding far better than its cast OEM counterpart.
Four 30 mm Pistons — Performance-Grade Clamping Force
Each of the V30's four pistons measures 30 mm in diameter and is machined from aluminium then finished with a hard-anodising treatment. This surface treatment dramatically increases surface hardness, reduces the adhesion of brake dust and debris, and improves thermal cycling performance compared to untreated alloy pistons. The symmetrical four-piston layout ensures even clamping load across the pad face, translating into a more progressive and controllable bite point — a clear step beyond the feel of the stock single- or twin-piston caliper on the GTS 300.
Gold Anodised Finish — Protective and Distinctive
The gold anodising on the V30.GD is not a paint or a coating applied on top of the metal — it is an electrochemical conversion of the aluminium surface itself, which means it cannot chip or peel. It adds genuine scratch resistance and acts as a permanent barrier against corrosion from road salt and brake fluid splatter. For Vespa GTS owners who care as much about how their machine looks as how it stops, the gold finish sets the front wheel apart immediately and complements custom wheel, rim tape or exhaust finishes with equal confidence.
Fitment and Compatibility
The Talos V30.GD is developed specifically for the Vespa GTS 300 as a front caliper replacement. Please verify your model year and existing brake disc diameter before fitting, and note that brake pads are not included — the caliper accepts pads with a thickness of 5 mm to 8 mm.
- Fitment: Vespa GTS 300 — front
