The Gilera DNA is genetically modified scooter.
A sturdy frame able to capture all your driving energy and give
you thrills you never thought possible. The style of a motorcycle
but with twist and go transmission and a helmet storage compartment
- a two-wheeler truly ahead of the field!

DNA 50 Brochure (850 kB pdf)
Gilera DNA is the revolutionary hybrid that rides
like a motorcycle but is as comfortable and easy to use as a scooter.
The DNA GP Experience 50cc has benefited from the DNA's stint as
official MotoGP scooter, with top performance from a high-tech two
stroke HI-PER2 PRO engine. Selected by motorcycle Grand Prix organiser
Dorna as "Official scooter of the MotoGP Championship", the Gilera
DNA 50 GP Experience is as innovative as any vehicle halfway between
a motorcycle and scooter can get.
The choice of the Hi-PER2 PRO two-stroke engine
now makes this revolutionary two wheeler even more fun to ride.
A high-performance propulsion, it puts the Gilera DNA GP Experience
at the top in terms of pick up and acceleration. The use of special
ratios and a lighter clutch, developed by Gilera technicians after
use on the circuit, lets this new Gilera DNA offer a really different
riding experience. The Gilera DNA GP Experience takes the innovative
motorcycle-scooter world interaction theme further and adapts it
to use by European teenagers. The GP Experience makes specific reference
to the racing world. The carbon-look effect of various components
such as the new analogue/digital instrumentation and the new graphics
bring this hybrid closer to the aggressive GP bikes from which it
takes its inspiration.
Bends, braking, handling and performance on the
DNA are worthy of a motorcycle, but the automatic transmission,
helmet compartment and the immediate feeling of confidence that
the vehicle imparts belong to the scooter sector. This revolutionary
vehicle abandons the shape and structure of the scooter for technical
and design solutions that are typical of the "naked" sports motorcycle.
But easy handling is guaranteed by the automatic transmission which
has very quick pick-up and acceleration. The exclusivity of this
vehicle concept is based on the frame quality and cutting-edge technology
and components. The running advantages typical of a motorcycle,
such as pinpoint steering, stability on corners and safe braking,
are placed in a vehicle with automatic transmission that offers
entirely new sensations thanks to the ride set-up and the knee supports,
which make for better cornering.
The Gilera DNA's cycle parts are designed for total
control of the vehicle and to permit bends that are unthinkable
for a scooter. Its open-cradle frame with two descending steel beams
is meant to offer exceptional flexural and torsional rigidity. The
hydraulic fork with 35 mm shafts and dual protection plates as on
a motorcycle is in full view, in keeping with the DNA's "naked"
styling - essential but sporty. The braking system uses a 240-mm
front disk with 25-mm dual-piston floating calliper in front and
a rear 200-mm disk with a calliper and two 30-mm opposed pistons.
Five-spoke wheel rims in die-cast aluminium alloy and large tubeless
racing tyres (12/70x14" in front, 140/70x14" at the rear) complete
the DNA's cycle parts. This configuration gives the Gilera DNA motorcycle-type
riding behaviour, guarantees absolute safety and new levels of riding
pleasure due to ergonomic tests, as well as equitable weight distribution.
The rider's sensation of being in perfect control of this markedly
sporty vehicle is emphasised by a handlebar composed of two custom-designed
semi-handles in pressed aluminium alloy.
The lavish instrumentation of the Gilera DNA combines
analogue and digital equipment. The analogue section features a
rev counter similar to those on the latest sport bikes, while the
comprehensive digital equipment includes a mileage counter, speedometer,
water temperature and fuel gauges, clock and trip meter. The full-face
helmet storage compartment is hidden by the sinuous shape of the
lockable fuel tank. Unlike scooters that have the storage bay under
the seat, this repositioning takes the rider's seated height to
just 770mm from the ground. The foot rests adjust to three positions
to help riders of any height make themselves comfortable. Turning
a single key on the left of the storage compartment gives access
to the helmet container and fuel tank, so the rider doesn't need
to get off to refuel. Marked by a distinctive front fairing and
powerful headlamp section, the Gilera DNA has a typically race-type
"tail" that can carry a passenger if necessary. It joins the large
rear lamp set, which includes direction indicators. The colour range
that includes Dragon Red and Steel Blue highlights the sport style
of the Gilera DNA. Manufacturer

Gilera DNA 125
As above, but the Gilera DNA 125cc delivers
more power, more speed and more excitment with its 4 stroke, 4 valve,
liquid cooled engine. With 15hp, DNA 125cc has the maximum legal
power in this displacement, and 14´´ wheels and dual
rear suspension provide excellent road handling. All this along
with the twist and go transmission and helmet storage compartment
make the Gilera DNA 125 a seriously desirable machine. Manufacturer

Gilera DNA 180
As above, the Gilera DNA 180cc delivers 20hp
in power and excitment with its 4 stroke, 4 valve, liquid cooled
engine. Manufacturer
