2019 - 2020 Vespa GTS 300 HPE

The GTS gets its second major update in ten years and it's a doozy

The Vespa division of the Piaggio Group expanded its footprint in 2019 with a brand-new powerplant for the GTS scooter line with the GTS 300 HPE. Fans of the brand rejoiced at the news of the most powerful engine to make it onto a Vespone descendant, and for many, this is the engine they've been waiting for. Safety comes standard with a few traction-protection subsystems as part of the stock package, plus it features LED forward lighting to help you see and be seen. Best of all, it remains faithful to the design progression that began right after WWII, so it has that classic look that really seals the deal.

Vespa GTS 300 HPE Design

Nothing says old-school Italian scooter quite like a Vespa , and the new GTS 300 HPE is certainly no exception. The sheet metal presents a familiar face to the world with a redesigned tie that divides the front fairing and doubles as a horn cover. Recessed turn signals ride near the outboard edges for a much cleaner installation than the whisker-style lights, though due to regulations in the U.S., whisker lights are still a thing. The housing for the new headlight flows into a handlebar fairing and serves as the instrument housing as well. No windscreen on the base model, but the GTS 300 HPE Touring model comes equipped with a short flyscreen and rear luggage rack.

The chrome surround pairs with the instrument-panel trim to bring some bling to the top end, and the revised front fender sports a chrome dorsal crest that makes a nice offset to the large passenger grabrail out back. Inside the fairing is a small storage compartment with a USB port so you can charge your mobile devices.

A short tunnel interrupts the step-through somewhat but it comes with a flat top complete with non-skid treatment for that 'tween-feet storage. Under the seat, you'll find room to stash a couple of brain buckets, a bookbag, or a decent amount of goods for your grocery-getting missions.

Out back, a new LED taillight and recessed blinkers finish off the rearward lighting, and the license plate pulls double-duty as a mudguard extension. As for the seat itself, it comes with new padding and a new cover to increase both pilot and pillion comfort .

Vespa GTS 300 HPE Chassis

As ever, the GTS rocks a monocoque build that uses the sheet-steel body panels as stressed units, like an exoskeleton, and that replaces the underframe to provide the structure. The front end is a solid arm with a trailing link and a coil-over shock for the actual suspension . Dual shocks tame the motion of the swing-mount drive unit and support the rear end with the obligatory spring-preload adjustment, but nothing else .

I'm not a fan of the 12-inch rims , but they do fit with the overall look, and the tubeless 120/70 up front and 130/70 out back provide generous contact patches. Said patches get their first layer of safety net in the form of a stock, two-channel ABS unit, as well as traction control . The binders work on symmetrical, 220 mm stainless-steel discs to slow the GTS, and bless the factory for leaving the old drum rear brake where it belongs: on the shelf .

Vespa GTS 300 HPE Drivetrain

The real selling point on the GTS 300 HPE is definitely the beating heart. Its potential is reflected right in the name “ High Performance Engine ,” and it lives up to that moniker with a grand total of 23.8 horsepower on tap at 8,250 rpm. Torque measures in with a claimed 19.17 pound-feet that comes on fully by 5,250 rpm for an output increase of 12 percent and 18 percent from the horsepower and torque , respectively. This turns in an actual top speed around 78 mph though the speedo seems a little on the fast side with a displayed 87 mph at the top end. Naturally, loaded weight, elevation, and ambient air temp play into the equation, but suffice to say you can keep up with legal interstate traffic , and that opens up the potential for use as a commuter .

The 278 cc engine is mounted to the revamped CVT transmission -- that has a tougher drive belt -- as a stressed unit to make up the swing-mount drive. It delivers the twist-and-go operation to make riding a near-effortless endeavor. A dry centrifugal clutch divorces the tranny from engine power at an idle to wrap up the mechanical equipment in the drivetrain, but that's not the whole story. Vespa chucked on its ASR traction control feature to prevent wheel-spin if you give it more juice than the rear contact patch can handle. Even though Vespa has done so for a while now, it's still a rare treat to find traction control here at the bottom of the two-wheel pecking order .

Vespa GTS 300 HPE Pricing

MSRP for the GTS 300 HPE is $7,099. The Yacht Club model with its white and nautical blue colorway rolls for $7,049 and the Touring model top out the lineup at $7,299.

Vespa GTS 300 HPE Competitors

Ya' know, Vespa is a tough act to follow. It's got deep roots and an emotional connection with its throngs of admirers. A Chinese knock-off won't do, so I'm going to keep it in the family and look at Piaggio -- Vespa's parent company -- and its BV 350.

Piaggio BV 350

Yeah, the mill is a bit bigger with a total of 330 cc, so the power output is necessarily greater as well , to the tune of 30.2 ponies and 21.4 pounds o' grunt. That's all fine and dandy, but since the Vespa is capable of interstate travel, anything beyond that is just gratuitous , says me.

The BV 350 also comports itself with a decidedly modern look that, while it's not unattractive, lacks anything in the way of the charm that the GTS 300 HPE brings to the table . It does qualify as a maxi-scooter at the bottom of the range. I guess the main reason I pulled this machine is the fact that they both fall at a similar pricing point and the quality of the fit and finish will be at similar standards . The BV 350 rolls for $6,599, which is more bang-per-buck, but again, if you're into that classic look, nothing else but a Vespa will do .

Read our full review of the Piaggio BV 350 .

“Maybe the Vespa snobs are right. I admit, I have an affinity for that classic look, and wouldn't bat an eye at spending the extra money to get it. Throw in the traction control and ABS and you've really got something you can safely work with. Not sure I'd ever be comfortable on the superslab with it though.”

My wife and fellow motorcycle writer, Allyn Hinton , says, “In the last ten years, this only the second major update for the GTS. It's a very popular scooter in Europe, which has a larger scooter culture than we have here in the U.S. and with the HPE, it makes a good thing better .”

2019 Vespa GTS Yacht Club 300

The biggest and most powerful.

• The unmistakable vespa touch

With its elegant and refined line, the Vespa GTS is an exclusive vehicle, unique in today’s competitive scenario. Vespa style and elegance shine out in a range of colors and unique stylistic solutions, such as the original positioning of the parking light on the grill. The Vespa GTS aesthetic is accompanied with the safety of the double disc brakes, perfect items for leaving the hustle and bustle of the city behind you.

The unique Vespa look blends with the finesse that is typical of the world of sailing

• POWER AND ELEGANCE

The Vespa GTS has no rivals on today’s market. Its 300 cc engine can deliver maximum power of 22 HP and maximum torque of 16.4 lb ft, ensuring quick throttle response and fantastic performance overall.

The most powerful engine in the entire Vespa range teams up with a front and rear disc brakes and the ABS and ASR system for absolute riding pleasure. All this makes the Vespa GTS ideal for both big city traffic and long range touring, to be enjoyed in total comfort, whether alone or in company's exuberance is somewhat softened by the refined lines of the vehicle, offering a sophisticated color palette and formidable technical solutions: LED running lights, an eye-catching horizontal grill, new saddle, rear light, analog and digital instrument panels and USB port.

• Technology and safety

On the GTS, the finest electronic safety control systems come as standard features, such as the ABS brake system and the exclusive ASR traction control, a Piaggio Group technology exclusive.

In particular, the ABS brake system helps raise the already high level of safety to make your journey fun at all times and totally safe. When braking suddenly or on slippery asphalt, the sensor system installed on the front wheel is able to prevent locking and loss of control of the vehicle and guarantee stability and effective braking, always.

• Touring special series

The Vespa GTS Touring, with its single 300 cc engine capacity, is definitely the long range touring Vespa. The Touring Special Series gives a nod in fact to the thousands of specially outfitted Vespas that have carried entire generations on tour all over the world.

The finishes are designed to spice up the Vespa's compact and rigid body: the standard chrome luggage racks at both front and rear considerably increase the vehicle's load carrying capacity, the rounded and transparent fly screen wraps round the Vespa "eye" to raise the level of protection, while the saddle, made of last generation materials, makes it look even more elegant.

10 Things Vespa Owners Adore About Their Scooters

I f you were to ask fellow motorcycle enthusiasts to name a particular motorcycle brand when discussing a particular segment, you would most likely get a range of answers. With all the new motorcycle models that are released every year, this is understandable. Whenever people talk about the best sport bikes, some would say Yamaha , others Kawasaki , and when people talk about adventure bikes, some would say BMW, while others would argue KTM is better . These days, it's difficult to choose one brand over another due to their fierce competition.

However, when it comes to scooters, things are very different. Vespa will always be the first name to come up, and it's not even that surprising, because they have one of the most iconic motorcycle designs in history.

The information in this article was sourced from Vespa's official website.

Vespa's Timeless Design

It looks like a wasp.

Vespa riders are loyal to their bikes in large part because of their classic style, which will never go out of fashion. Because it stands out so much from other bikes and scooters, a Vespa always attracts attention wherever it goes. One fun fact about the Vespa's design is that it was named after the Latin word for wasp because, upon its introduction to the son of the company's owner, Enrico Piaggio, he exclaimed, "Sembra una vespa!" ('it looks like a wasp!') . Its unmatched quality and timeless style have set Vespa apart from the competition since its introduction in 1946.

A Vespa Is A Beginner-Friendly Bike

Vespas, by their very nature as scooters, are among the best options when searching for a motorcycle that is suitable for new riders. Vespa riders can simply hop on and enjoy the ride thanks to the scooter's automatic transmission, low seat height, and ergonomic design. But don't take that as an indication that it's only suitable for beginners! Due to their user-friendly and easy-to-ride nature, Vespa's are favored by many seasoned riders.

Vespa's Excellent Maneuverability In Traffic

Scooters dominate the global bike market for good reason . Vespas, like other scooters, are among the easiest motorcycles to ride in heavy city traffic. Vespas are perfect for the city thanks to their lightweight build and responsive handling, allowing them to easily navigate even the worst traffic. So, despite not being as fast as a sport bike, as stylish as a cruiser, or as versatile as an adventure bike, a Vespa will always be adored by its owners due to its ability to navigate busy urban areas with relative ease.

A Fuel Efficient Bike For Daily Commuting

Fuel economy: 105 - 115 mpg.

Now, this is something that sets Vespa and scooters apart from other motorcycle categories. Vespa's fuel economy regularly exceeds the 100+ miles per gallon line, which is a huge difference in comparison to the fuel efficiency of other motorcycles. Well, we know, it has a smaller engine compared to other bikes. It is, however, a luxury to have a motorcycle that offers good fuel economy, and which you can ride every day without having to worry about the high cost of gasoline.

Vespa's Reputation For Reliability

Vespa introduced their first scooter all the way back in 1946, and one of the reasons why they are still in production is because of their time-honored reliability. Vespa scooters have stood the test of time, and this is one of the reasons why riders continue to love their scooters. The scooter is constructed with high-quality components, and the build quality has remained consistent throughout its many years of production. Every Vespa owner appreciates the sense of security that comes with knowing that their scooter will remain reliable for many years to come.

Customization Is Encouraged By Vespa

Another perk of owning a Vespa is the flexibility it gives in terms of customization. Vespa allows you to create your own unique look by providing a wide variety of accessories to choose from. Change the color of the scooter to one you like, customize the seat to your liking, and modify the bike's mirrors and grips to make it feel more personalized.

Popular Vespa Accessories:

• Storage accessories such as a top-box, leather bags, and rear luggage racks
• A perimeter kit that includes a non-slip waterproof rubber mat
• External vehicle cover
• Electronic anti-theft system
• Front mudguards
• Custom windshields
• Sport exhaust

Low Maintenance

Saves a lot of money in the long run.

Most of us can agree that owning a motorcycle can sometimes be an expensive experience. Aside from the large amount of money that we spend on the bike itself, maintaining it is another thing to worry about — however, Vespa owners do not have this concern, because of how little it costs to maintain their scooters. Vespa owners love to brag about how much money they save, which is one of the main reasons why they own one. It is not difficult to perform routine maintenance, and if a component needs to be replaced, everything is easily accessible.

An Enjoyable Riding Experience

The joy of riding any Vespa model is another reason why its owners are so attached to their scooters, proving that just because it's a scooter doesn't mean it's a boring motorcycle. Vespa's aren't all talk, either. The GTS 300 is the quickest Vespa available, and can reach 78 miles per hour. It produces 23.8 horsepower and 19.2 lb-ft of torque . When compared to the GTS 300, the Kawasaki Versys-X 300 produces less torque and has a lower top speed !

Vespa GTS 300 Specs:

The rich history and heritage that comes with a vespa.

As stated at the beginning, Vespa has become well-known due to its durability, premium features, and unmistakable design. When you buy a Vespa, it does not only mean that you are buying a scooter. You’re also buying the rich heritage and legacy that comes with it. While this is typical for all long-standing motorcycle manufacturers, Vespa stands out as one of the few manufacturers that has retained a similar design throughout the years. It's not just any scooter, it's a Vespa.

The Vespa Community

One of the main reasons why Vespa owners adore their scooters is because of the community that comes with it. The Vespa community has been very active over the years. Every year, the Vespa community comes together to celebrate the most important event, the Vespa World Days. This annual celebration is dedicated to the birth of the scooter they love, which has become a bridge to unite every Vespa enthusiast around the world. Back in 2018, over 3,000 Vespa scooters from 37 countries took part in the Belfast event . As the event comes to a close each year, the winners of the Vespa Trophy are announced. This award goes to club members who spread the Vespa love by taking pictures and getting special stamps on their Travel Books at every stop along the way to the event.

Here’s What We Know About the Moscow Concert Hall Attack

The assault on a popular concert hall was the deadliest act of terrorism in the Russian capital in more than a decade.

• Share full article

By Ivan Nechepurenko

• Published March 23, 2024 Updated March 25, 2024

An attack Friday at a popular concert venue near Moscow killed 137 people, the deadliest act of terrorism the Russian capital region has seen in more than a decade.

The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack; American officials have attributed it to ISIS-K, a branch of the group.

Russian officials and state media have largely ignored ISIS’s claim of responsibility and instead suggested that Ukraine was behind the violence. Ukraine has denied any involvement, and American officials say there is no evidence connecting Kyiv to the attack.

Russian authorities have detained at least 11 people, including four migrant laborers described as Tajik citizens who have been charged with committing a terrorist act, but they have not identified most of the accused assailants or their motives.

Here’s a closer look at the attack.

What happened?

The gunmen entered the Crocus City Hall building, one of the biggest entertainment complexes in the Moscow area, with capacity of more than 6,000, shortly before a sold-out rock concert was scheduled to start. Armed with automatic rifles, they began shooting.

Using explosives and flammable liquids, Russian investigators said, they set the building ablaze, causing chaos as people began to run. The fire quickly engulfed more than a third of the building, spreading smoke and causing parts of the roof to collapse. Russia’s emergency service posted a video and pictures from after the fire showing charred seating and firefighters working to remove debris.

Russian law enforcement said that people had died from gunshot wounds and poisoning from the smoke.

At least three helicopters were dispatched to extinguish the fire or to try to rescue people from the roof. The firefighters were only able to contain the fire early on Saturday; the emergency service said it was mostly extinguished by 5 a.m.

The search for survivors ended on Saturday, as details about the victims began to emerge. Many of the more than 100 people injured in the attack were in critical condition.

Russia’s Investigative Committee, a top law-enforcement body, said on Sunday that 137 bodies had been recovered from the charred premises, including those of three children. It said that 62 victims had been identified so far and that genetic testing was underway to identify the rest.

Where are the assailants?

Attackers were able to flee the scene. Early on Saturday, the head of Russia’s top security agency, the F.S.B., said that 11 people had been detained in the connection to the attack, including “all four terrorists directly involved.” The four men were arraigned late Sunday and charged with committing a terrorist act, according to state and independent media outlets, and they face a maximum sentence of life in prison.

The press service of the Basmanny District Court said that the first two defendants, Dalerjon B. Mirzoyev and Saidakrami M. Rachalbalizoda, had pleaded guilty to the charges.

It did not specify any plea from the other two — Muhammadsobir Z. Fayzov, a 19-year-old barber and the youngest of the men charged, and Shamsidin Fariduni, 25, a married factory worker with an 8-month-old baby — according to Mediazona, an independent news outlet.

The men looked severely battered and injured as they appeared in court, and videos of them being tortured and beaten while under interrogation circulated widely on Russian social media.

There were signs that Russia would try to pin blame on Ukraine, despite the claim of responsibility by the Islamic State. The F.S.B. said in a statement that the attack had been carefully planned and that the terrorists had tried to flee toward Ukraine.

How are Russians responding?

President Vladimir V. Putin, who claimed victory in a presidential election last weekend, did not publicly address the tragedy until Saturday afternoon. In a five-minute address to the nation, he appeared to be laying the groundwork to blame Ukraine for the attack, claiming that “the Ukrainian side” had “prepared a window” for the attackers to cross the border from Russia into Ukraine.

But he did not definitively assign blame, saying that those responsible would be punished, “whoever they may be, whoever may have sent them.”

The attack has punctured the sense of relative safety for Muscovites over the past decade, bringing back memories of attacks that shadowed life in the Russian capital in the 2000s.

Russia observed a national day of mourning on Sunday as questions lingered about the identities and motives of the perpetrators. Flags were lowered to half-staff at buildings across the country.

North Korea’s Kim Jong Un sends condolences to Russia’s Putin over deadly Moscow attack

From CNN’s Sophie Jeong and Manveena Suri

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has offered his condolences to Russian President Vladimir Putin following the deadly concert attack in Moscow, state media Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported on Sunday.

Kim “expressed deep condolences and sympathy” to Putin, the Russian people, the victims and their families on the news of heavy casualties caused by a “large-scale terrorist attack in (the) Moscow region,” KCNA reported.

North Korea opposes “all sorts of terrorism and nothing can justify the heinous terrorism threatening human life,” Kim said in the KCNA report. “Our people regard the misfortune and sorrow of the friendly Russian people as their own pain.”

ISIS releases graphic video they claim shows Russia concert hall attack

From CNN's Kareem El Damanhoury and Paul Murphy

ISIS-affiliated news agency Amaq released a graphic video on Saturday that purports to show Friday’s attack at a concert hall in suburban Moscow recorded by one of the attackers, suggesting the perpetrators had a direct link to ISIS in order to be able to send the video.

CNN has geolocated it to the concert hall and notes that its identifying metadata has been erased.

The video, which is about 90 seconds long, shows four attackers with their faces blurred and voices distorted in what appears to be the Crocus City Hall complex.

The video shows one attacker signaling to another gunman, who then walks past a door where people are hiding and opens fire on them.

Bodies and blood can be seen on the floor, with fire raging at a distance.

The video also shows one of the attackers slitting the throat of a man lying on his back.

The video ends with the four attackers walking away inside the building as smoke can be seen at a distance.

On Friday, ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack, according to a short statement published by Amaq.

On Saturday, Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested Ukraine was behind the attack, stating the perpetrators had “tried to hide and moved towards Ukraine, where, according to preliminary data, a window was prepared for them on the Ukrainian side to cross the border.”

Ukraine has vehemently denied any connection to Friday's attack.

Company that owns Crocus City Hall venue calls attack a "monstrous tragedy"

From CNN's Masha Angelova

The Russian company Crocus International, which owns Crocus City Hall, expressed its deep condolences in a statement Sunday to the victims of the terrorist attack at the concert hall in the Moscow region Friday, which left more than 130 people dead.

"Together with the whole of Russia, we mourn the dead and hope for a speedy recovery of those who’ve suffered in this monstrous tragedy," the company said. "In these difficult days, we are doing and will do everything possible to help the authorities and special services with their difficult work, and together with the whole country help victims of the terrorist attack."

The statement thanked concert-goers, partners and artists for their support and assistance.

"Special thanks to the concert hall team, who acted professionally, clearly, and heroically in a crisis situation, and thanks to this, managed to save most of the guests and employees who were in Crocus City Hall that evening," it continued.

White House says there was "no Ukrainian involvement whatsoever" in Moscow region onslaught

US Vice President Kamala Harris and the White House National Security Council said there is no evidence that Ukraine is behind the attack at a concert hall near Moscow.

“There is no, whatsoever, any evidence — and in fact, what we know to be the case is that ISIS-K is actually, by all accounts, responsible for what happened,” Harris said in an interview with ABC News. “What has happened is an act of terrorism and the number of people who've been killed is obviously a tragedy and we should all send our condolences to those families."

National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said:

"In early March, the US government shared information with Russia about a planned terrorist attack in Moscow. We also issued a public advisory to Americans in Russia on March 7. ISIS bears sole responsibility for this attack. There was no Ukrainian involvement whatsoever."

Here's what you should know about the moscow area concert venue shooting.

From CNN staff

A Friday night attack at Crocus City Hall, a popular concert venue complex near Moscow, left more than 130 people killed and even more wounded after assailants stormed the venue with guns and incendiary devices. ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack, without providing evidence.

Four suspects involved in the attack were detained in the Bryansk region and taken to Moscow, where they are now in the custody of Russia's Investigative Committee, Russian state media TASS reported Saturday.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said "miserable" Russian President Vladimir Putin waited   overnight before publicly addressing Russians, only to accuse   Ukraine of having a hand in the terror attack at a concert hall near Moscow.

Here are other headlines you should know:

• More on the attack: According to the interior ministry, “all terrorists detained in the Bryansk region are foreign citizens ,” Russian state media reported. RIA Novosti published on Telegram the purported confession of one of the apprehended men. CNN cannot independently verify the RIA Novosti report or the statements made by the alleged attacker, which may have been made under duress.
• Ukraine vehemently denies any connection: Defense Intelligence of Ukraine spokesperson Andrii Yusov firmly denied his country had anything to do with the terror attack. Earlier Saturday, Putin  told the Russian people  that the perpetrators had “tried to hide and moved towards Ukraine, where, according to preliminary data, a window was prepared for them on the Ukrainian side to cross the border." A handful of Russian officials have suggested  without evidence  that Ukraine may have been involved in the attack as well.
• Global reactions: Leaders around the world — such as the French, Israeli and Turkish presidents — have expressed their condolences and condemnation of the onslaught. The United States “ strongly condemns ” the shooting, according to the White House and Secretary of State Antony Blinken. United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also denounced the attack , stressing that ISIS is a significant global threat at a news conference Saturday.
• Belarus claims it thwarted suspects: Belarusian special services helped Russia prevent the "terrorists" who allegedly carried out the deadly attack from escaping across the border Friday night, the country's ambassador in Moscow said.
• Estimated damage total: The total estimated damage to the Moscow region's Crocus City Hall after Friday's terror attack is between 9.5-11.4 billion rubles, or approximately $103-124 million, according to a shopping union vice president, as reported by Russian state media RIA Novosti.

Zelensky accuses Putin of trying to blame concert hall attack on Ukraine

From CNN's Maria Kostenko

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said "miserable" Russian President Vladimir Putin waited overnight before publicly addressing Russians, only to accuse Ukraine of having a hand in the terror attack at a concert hall near Moscow.

On Saturday, Putin told the Russian people that the perpetrators of the Crocus City Hall attack had “tried to hide and moved towards Ukraine, where, according to preliminary data, a window was prepared for them on the Ukrainian side to cross the border.”

Zelensky and several Ukrainian officials have vehemently denied Ukraine has any kind of involvement in the attack.

In his nightly address, Zelensky also said that Russians "have come to Ukraine, burn our cities – and try to blame Ukraine."

Zelensky added that if the Russian people do "not ask any questions to their security and intelligence agencies, then Putin will try to turn such a situation to his personal advantage again."

More background: The terror group ISIS claimed responsibility for Russia's attack, according to a short statement published by ISIS-affiliated news agency Amaq on Telegram Friday. ISIS has not provided evidence to support the claim.

Earlier this week, Putin had dismissed warnings by the US embassy that there could be terrorist attacks on large groups, telling the Federal Security Service (FSB) that the embassy warnings were "provocative" and "outright blackmail."

White House "strongly condemns" Moscow region terror attack

From CNN’s Samantha Waldenberg

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement Saturday that the United States “strongly condemns” the terrorist attack at a concert venue complex near Moscow that left at least 133 people dead.

She added that ISIS, which has claimed responsibility for the attack without providing evidence, is a “common terrorist enemy that must be defeated everywhere.”

“We extend our deepest condolences to those who lost loved ones and to those who were injured or affected by these unconscionable attacks against innocent civilians," Jean-Pierre said in a statement issued by the White House. "ISIS is a common terrorist enemy that must be defeated everywhere."

4 suspects in Friday's attack are being questioned by Russian investigators, state media reports

Four suspects in Friday's terrorist attack on Crocus City Hall were detained in the Bryansk region and taken to Moscow, where they are now in the custody of Russia's Investigative Committee, Russian state media TASS reported Saturday.

The suspects were brought in two prisoner transport vehicles, which are still in the courtyard of the committee, a TASS correspondent reported. This indicates that the suspects are being interrogated and the investigation is ongoing, according to TASS.

In the coming days, investigators are expected to file a court motion asking for imprisonment as the chosen preventative measure. All four suspects face life imprisonment, TASS reports.

The Comprehensive Guide to Moscow Nightlife

• Posted on April 14, 2018 July 26, 2018
• by Kings of Russia
• 8 minute read

Moscow’s nightlife scene is thriving, and arguably one of the best the world has to offer – top-notch Russian women, coupled with a never-ending list of venues, Moscow has a little bit of something for everyone’s taste. Moscow nightlife is not for the faint of heart – and if you’re coming, you better be ready to go Friday and Saturday night into the early morning.

This comprehensive guide to Moscow nightlife will run you through the nuts and bolts of all you need to know about Moscow’s nightclubs and give you a solid blueprint to operate with during your time in Moscow.

What you need to know before hitting Moscow nightclubs

Prices in moscow nightlife.

Before you head out and start gaming all the sexy Moscow girls , we have to talk money first. Bring plenty because in Moscow you can never bring a big enough bankroll. Remember, you’re the man so making a fuzz of not paying a drink here or there will not go down well.

Luckily most Moscow clubs don’t do cover fees. Some electro clubs will charge 15-20$, depending on their lineup. There’s the odd club with a minimum spend of 20-30$, which you’ll drop on drinks easily. By and large, you can scope out the venues for free, which is a big plus.

Bottle service is a great deal in Moscow. At top-tier clubs, it starts at 1,000$. That’ll go a long way with premium vodka at 250$, especially if you have three or four guys chipping in. Not to mention that it’s a massive status boost for getting girls, especially at high-end clubs.

Without bottle service, you should estimate a budget of 100-150$ per night. That is if you drink a lot and hit the top clubs with the hottest girls. Scale down for less alcohol and more basic places.

Dress code & Face control

Door policy in Moscow is called “face control” and it’s always the guy behind the two gorillas that gives the green light if you’re in or out.

In Moscow nightlife there’s only one rule when it comes to dress codes:

You can never be underdressed.

People dress A LOT sharper than, say, in the US and that goes for both sexes. For high-end clubs, you definitely want to roll with a sharp blazer and a pocket square, not to mention dress shoes in tip-top condition. Those are the minimum requirements to level the playing field vis a vis with other sharply dressed guys that have a lot more money than you do. Unless you plan to hit explicit electro or underground clubs, which have their own dress code, you are always on the money with that style.

Getting in a Moscow club isn’t as hard as it seems: dress sharp, speak English at the door and look like you’re in the mood to spend all that money that you supposedly have (even if you don’t). That will open almost any door in Moscow’s nightlife for you.

Types of Moscow Nightclubs

In Moscow there are four types of clubs with the accompanying female clientele:

High-end clubs:

These are often crossovers between restaurants and clubs with lots of tables and very little space to dance. Heavy accent on bottle service most of the time but you can work the room from the bar as well. The hottest and most expensive girls in Moscow go there. Bring deep pockets and lots of self-confidence and you have a shot at swooping them.

Regular Mid-level clubs:

They probably resemble more what you’re used to in a nightclub: big dancefloors, stages and more space to roam around. Bottle service will make you stand out more but you can also do well without. You can find all types of girls but most will be in the 6-8 range. Your targets should always be the girls drinking and ideally in pairs. It’s impossible not to swoop if your game is at least half-decent.

Basic clubs/dive bars:

Usually spots with very cheap booze and lax face control. If you’re dressed too sharp and speak no Russian, you might attract the wrong type of attention so be vigilant. If you know the local scene you can swoop 6s and 7s almost at will. Usually students and girls from the suburbs.

Electro/underground clubs:

Home of the hipsters and creatives. Parties there don’t mean meeting girls and getting drunk but doing pills and spacing out to the music. Lots of attractive hipster girls if that is your niche. That is its own scene with a different dress code as well.

What time to go out in Moscow

Moscow nightlife starts late. Don’t show up at bars and preparty spots before 11pm because you’ll feel fairly alone. Peak time is between 1am and 3am. That is also the time of Moscow nightlife’s biggest nuisance: concerts by artists you won’t know and who only distract your girls from drinking and being gamed. From 4am to 6am the regular clubs are emptying out but plenty of people, women included, still hit up one of the many afterparty clubs. Those last till well past 10am.

As far as days go: Fridays and Saturdays are peak days. Thursday is an OK day, all other days are fairly weak and you have to know the right venues.

The Ultimate Moscow Nightclub List

Short disclaimer: I didn’t add basic and electro clubs since you’re coming for the girls, not for the music. This list will give you more options than you’ll be able to handle on a weekend.

Preparty – start here at 11PM

Classic restaurant club with lots of tables and a smallish bar and dancefloor. Come here between 11pm and 12am when the concert is over and they start with the actual party. Even early in the night tons of sexy women here, who lean slightly older (25 and up).

The second floor of the Ugolek restaurant is an extra bar with dim lights and house music tunes. Very small and cozy with a slight hipster vibe but generally draws plenty of attractive women too. A bit slower vibe than Valenok.

Very cool, spread-out venue that has a modern library theme. Not always full with people but when it is, it’s brimming with top-tier women. Slow vibe here and better for grabbing contacts and moving on.

High-end: err on the side of being too early rather than too late because of face control.

Secret Room

Probably the top venue at the moment in Moscow . Very small but wildly popular club, which is crammed with tables but always packed. They do parties on Thursdays and Sundays as well. This club has a hip-hop/high-end theme, meaning most girls are gold diggers, IG models, and tattooed hip hop chicks. Very unfavorable logistics because there is almost no room no move inside the club but the party vibe makes it worth it. Strict face control.

Close to Secret Room and with a much more favorable and spacious three-part layout. This place attracts very hot women but also lots of ball busters and fakes that will leave you blue-balled. Come early because after 4am it starts getting empty fast. Electronic music.

A slightly kitsch restaurant club that plays Russian pop and is full of gold diggers, semi-pros, and men from the Caucasus republics. Thursday is the strongest night but that dynamic might be changing since Secret Room opened its doors. You can swoop here but it will be a struggle.

Mid-level: your sweet spot in terms of ease and attractiveness of girls for an average budget.

Started going downwards in 2018 due to lax face control and this might get even worse with the World Cup. In terms of layout one of the best Moscow nightclubs because it’s very big and bottle service gives you a good edge here. Still attracts lots of cute girls with loose morals but plenty of provincial girls (and guys) as well. Swooping is fairly easy here.

I haven’t been at this place in over a year, ever since it started becoming ground zero for drunken teenagers. Similar clientele to Icon but less chic, younger and drunker. Decent mainstream music that attracts plenty of tourists. Girls are easy here as well.

Sort of a Coyote Ugly (the real one in Moscow sucks) with party music and lots of drunken people licking each others’ faces. Very entertaining with the right amount of alcohol and very easy to pull in there. Don’t think about staying sober in here, you’ll hate it.

Artel Bessonitsa/Shakti Terrace

Electronic music club that is sort of a high-end place with an underground clientele and located between the teenager clubs Icon and Gipsy. Very good music but a bit all over the place with their vibe and their branding. You can swoop almost any type of girl here from high-heeled beauty to coked-up hipsters, provided they’re not too sober.

Afterparty: if by 5AM  you haven’t pulled, it’s time to move here.

Best afterparty spot in terms of trying to get girls. Pretty much no one is sober in there and savage gorilla game goes a long way. Lots of very hot and slutty-looking girls but it can be hard to tell apart who is looking for dick and who is just on drugs but not interested. If by 9-10am you haven’t pulled, it is probably better to surrender.

The hipster alternative for afterparties, where even more drugs are in play. Plenty of attractive girls there but you have to know how to work this type of club. A nicer atmosphere and better music but if you’re desperate to pull, you’ll probably go to Miks.

Weekday jokers: if you’re on the hunt for some sexy Russian girls during the week, here are two tips to make your life easier.

Chesterfield

Ladies night on Wednesdays means this place gets pretty packed with smashed teenagers and 6s and 7s. Don’t pull out the three-piece suit in here because it’s a “simpler” crowd. Definitely your best shot on Wednesdays.

If you haven’t pulled at Chesterfield, you can throw a Hail Mary and hit up Garage’s Black Music Wednesdays. Fills up really late but there are some cute Black Music groupies in here. Very small club. Thursday through Saturday they do afterparties and you have an excellent shot and swooping girls that are probably high.

Shishas Sferum

This is pretty much your only shot on Mondays and Tuesdays because they offer free or almost free drinks for women. A fairly low-class club where you should watch your drinks. As always the case in Moscow, there will be cute girls here on any day of the week but it’s nowhere near as good as on the weekend.

In a nutshell, that is all you need to know about where to meet Moscow girls in nightlife. There are tons of options, and it all depends on what best fits your style, based on the type of girls that you’re looking for.

Restaurant-Yacht Chaika

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

Pleasantly surprised, service is good so is the food. Great selection of Fusion food, a mixture of Italian, Japanese, European, Asian etc. A pleasantly nice dining experience, highly recommended, a must try!

Thank you for your feedback and invite you to have lunch or dinner again aboard the ship in an atmosphere of high standards of yacht hospitality.

everything was perfect - the food, the service, the desserts were the best, nice atmosphere and the location - magical

Best food, best view in Moscow. absolutely faultless from arrival to finish. Best risotto i had for many years absolutely perfectly cooked. The view on Ukrainian hotel and the white house by night is amazing

Had to wait for the food for 1.5 hours and then another 20 minutes for the check. Finally called for the manager and he offered... a 10% discount as a compensation. Simply pathetic! The food is mediocre at best. Not bad per se, but one... would expect something better considering the prices. There are many places to eat in area that are much better. Avoid this one at all costs. More

Hello, Alexander Your comment is extremely important for us, thank you a lot for it. We are terribly sorry for your time that you`ve spent waiting your order and we have already taken actions to improve quality of our service and it would be realy... More

Food is very expensive,very pretentious, doesn't worth that money. Portions are very small. We ordered ravioli and there were 4! Four raviolis! For almost 15 euros. Then we asked to bring us dessert menu but nothing, they didn't even bothered, so we payed and left... without dessert. Very poor service for that price. More

This is a very good restaurant. The food is really good, maybe the best in Moscow. The service is also good. The view from the restaurant is great. The prices are very high.

I often visit this restaurant and must say it’s one of the best in Moscow in terms of quality and service. Staff really try hard to make sure that you are happy and satisfied. Customer service is a huge problem in Moscow but Chaika sets... a great example for others in the industry! Food is delicious and the menu has lots of options for everyone! Atmosphere is great and view is beautiful on the embankment. Special thanks to German & Oleg! More

Thank you for your feedback! Again aboard the yacht restaurant "Chaika" in accordance with the high standards of yacht hospitality.

Highly recommended, great location in the city center of Moscow with a superb atmosphere. Too many menu choices, though all delicious!

Thx a lot for your review! We are looking forward to see you in our restaurants.

Visited this lovely restaurant with a friend of mine. It was relaxingly warm August evening - so the place on the river seemed like a good idea. We came quite early and the restaurant was not full. The hostesses kindly offered several places to sit... and we chose to sit on the sofas. We had some wine, which was good. We struggled a bit when deciding about the food as few options (scallops) were not available. Fish on ice on display did not look very fresh. To be honest it was an unusually hot August and it is probably understandable that some see food options were not available. However, we did manage to order something and sat waiting and looking onto the river. My long-legged friend struggled sitting at the low sofa and the manager noticed that, offering as a very good, proper table beside the open window. It was nice touch and I was very pleased by their polite observations and immediate reaction to solve the problem. Food was quite good and presentation was perfect. Perhaps I can something about the food, but 1 visit is not enough to criticize or make a definitive opinion. Overall, quality place, which of course, does not come cheap. I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation. More

Good afternoon! Thank you for your detailed feedback! We are looking forward to seeing you again, we are sure that you will be delighted with our dishes!

I've been here several times during two business trip in Moscow. The overall quality for both service and food is absolutely top-notch, plus the location is very unique.

Hello! Thank you for your feedback! We are looking forward to visiting again!

Located on a boat at Krasnopresenskaya River Bank this 5 Star Restaurant transforms into a party location due to multiple groups hosting events. Impressive wine selection, Asian and European kitchen...

It is a nice place to gather specially at the lounge The service and staff very good I like the river view The food is almost like all restaurants in Russia they serve different cuisine. Staring Russian appetizer till Asian dishes Presentation and taste amazing... I consider it overpriced little bit More

Good location. Nice views. Good choice of food and drinks. European and Asian menu. Nice service. Pricey enough.

Had a large group dinner here. Food was above average and service quite good. The real attraction is the view of Moscow from the river on a nice night. Great place for a larger group dinner. More

Hello, John We are really pleased by reading that you and your friends were satisfied by our service, client`s experience is the highest value for us. We will be happy to see you again, come and enjoy some new dishes from our chef and nice... More

The luxurious atmosphere of this place, the view and the location make it quite outstanding. We had dinner here with friends and the dishes were amazing, accompanied by a chilled bottle of Chablis, it really made me feel as if it was a part of... the classic Russian movie. More
