VESPA RALLY 180/200-SADDLE

Our article 0668, two-seater saddle for Vespa Rally 180/200, is just like the original that Piaggio was assembled in the assembly line in the ’70s.
In those years the saddles were made of a robust iron frame 5 mm thick (NB on the market today there are much thinner and brittle looms!) With a dense network of springs held centrally by a serpentine spring or commonly called “Greek” .
To help support the weight of passengers, two tapered springs were used centrally to cushion the roughness of the ground.
In those days the streets were not like today’s! (at least not everywhere) many holes and dirt roads had to be faced by Vespa fans all over the world! So this type of saddle allowed to improve the comfort and “spring” away in comfort.
The rally, in particular, was considered a flagship among the Piaggio fleet and, as reported by a famous slogan of those times, the Vespa Rally was characterized by:
“Two powerful wheels, snappy, two wheels with ready reflexes, two” rally “wheels driven by the new 12 horsepower engine that grow up to 5700 rpm, two powerful wheels whizzing in complete safety on the 110-hour line”
It could not miss a wide saddle, suitable to bring two people comfortably.
The standard color was the classic Blu Piaggio, a very dark blue that with the years many exchange for black; the dark border and a rigid blue handle with round ends; the cross screws.
The cover is faux leather, water-repellent and resistant to atmospheric agents, which can also be purchased individually, such as padding, springs and all the components to restore your original Rally saddle.
The closure is a lever.
The spring frame in black powder coated iron gives this article reliability and strength.
