Aprilia SL 900 Shiver

















THE NAKED BIKE FROM NOALE
GROWS IN DISPLACEMENT WITH A NEW EURO 4 TWIN- CYLINDER CAPABLE OF
MORE THAN 95 HP AND 90 NM OF TORQUE
NEW PERFORMANCE COMBINED
WITH AN ABSOLUTELY TOP SHELF FRAME FOR A RIDEABILITY THAT RAISES THE
BAR TO NEW HEIGHTS IN THE NAKED SPORT BIKE SEGMENT
AN INTUITIVE, POWERFUL,
AGILE AND TECHNOLOGICAL BIKE IS BORN IN THE BEST APRILIA TRADITION,
DEDICATED TO ABSOLUTE RIDING PLEASUREAs always, Aprilia
makes refined mechanics and an excellent chassis structure
the winning values on its new bike. The new Aprilia Shiver
900 evolves the original project of a bike that, from its first
appearance on the scene in 2007, marked a turning point as the first
factory bike fitted with ride-by-wire technology to manage engine
throttle valve electronics. A technological first from Aprilia
derived directly from the racing world, the Aprilia Cube, in fact,
was the first MotoGP bike to use this technology in 2002 and since
then all of the global manufacturers have followed suit.
The Aprilia Shiver 900
increases in performance, thanks to the new 900 V-twin engine,
capable of increasing not only the power, but more importantly, the
maximum torque delivered at any rpm at top levels for its category.
More power and more character that translate into great riding
satisfaction without sacrificing the ease and comfort that have
always been characteristics of the Aprilia Shiver. It stems from a
bike that has made novice and expert riders alike fall in love,
thanks to its chassis architecture that, in the best Aprilia
tradition, draws on the know-how of a manufacturer that has won 54
world titles in its brief history and that currently has bikes in
premier competitions like MotoGP and Superbike.
The new superstructures
 fuel tank covers, side panels, tail fairing, front
mudguard  a profound revamp to the aesthetics make the new naked
sport bike from Noale stand out at a glance. The new twin cylinder
also stands out for its aggressive features highlighting its
distinct sport character: the wheels, frame, shock spring and the
cylinder head covers are now painted red.
The instrument cluster is
completely new and made up of modern TFT technology to
ensure information is perfectly legible. The large, 4.3 screen (the
same one used on the new Aprilia RSV4 and Aprilia Tuono 1100 V4
versions) allows all on board information to be clear at all times,
thanks in part to its capacity of adapting the background and font
colors based on light sensor detection of conditions. Connectivity
with your smartphone, provided as an accessory with the AMP (Aprilia
Multimedia Platform) kit, also provides the data related to
incoming/active calls on the screen, as well as information related
to the use of an intercom or any audio files being played.
For the first time, the easy to
ride, powerful and technologically advanced Aprilia Shiver 900 now
has an advanced traction control increasing safety
while ensuring dedicated performance. From stop and go to flowing
routes, mountain passes to touring treks, even long range the Shiver
900 invites you to fasten your helmet and set off in search of the
best sensations on two wheels.
A New Engine, New
Power


The new Euro 4 engine
grows to 900cc from the 750cc on the first version. This
increase was achieved thanks to the increased stroke that means the
power at the shaft exceeds the threshold of 95 HP and, more
importantly, significantly increases torque at medium rpms,
all to the advantage of pick up power during acceleration and coming
out of corners. The 90 Nm (66.38 lb ft) of torque at 6,500 rpm that
are consequently obtained guarantee pure fun in the saddle.
The new powerplant maintains the
90-degree angle between the two cylinders, as well as a timing
system with four valves per cylinder, dual overhead cam and liquid
cooling. On the other hand, the engine now has a more efficient
lubrication circuit and the new Marelli 7SM ECU.
The new Shiver 900 receives the
full benefits of Aprilias extensive experience in electronic
control systems and riding support for which the Aprilia RSV4  the
supersport bike that has won seven World SBK titles (three Rider and
four Manufacturer) in its racing version and that is consistently at
the top of its category in the street version  is an unrivalled
example.
Out of this experience and from
this Aprilia technological first, the Shiver 900 features an
advanced traction control system that guarantees maximum safety, but
also pure brilliant riding enjoyment thanks to the dual control that
acts on both ignition and on the motorized throttle valves, making
its intervention smooth and easy to manage.
The Ride-by-wire
feature, that made its début as standard equipment for a factory
bike on none other than the first Shiver version, also changes and
evolves. On this latest version, the system becomes lighter thanks
to a reduction in weight of more than half a kilo.
The exhaust pipes, one of the
characterizing aesthetic elements of the Aprilia Shiver with their
placement under the saddle to give the side view of the bike an
extremely clean look, have also been redesigned. They maintain the
original position, but the end of the silencer is shorter and
directed upward. The exhaust flow is now directed downward and to
the side in order to prevent interference with the passenger and to
guarantee greater comfort.
A Chassis
Architecture Worthy of the Aprilia Tradition
The performance provided by the
new engine is perfectly matched to an ultra-fine chassis
architecture, easy to ride and intuitive, but at the same time
incredibly high performance that, in the best Aprilia tradition, is
simply unmatched in the category. In fact, the mixed steel trellis/aluminum
plates frame provides standard-setting stiffness, defines an
extremely compact bike and ensures that it is capable of catering to
all riders with no problem, as well as enhancing the riding skills
of more expert motorcyclists. This makes technical routes a favorite
playground for the Shiver 900.
The Shiver 900 structure takes
advantage of all the proverbial Aprilia know-how where frames are
concerned and draws from the on-track experience gained in the
Supermoto competitions where Aprilia boasts no less than seven World
Titles. The trellis upper part in steel tubing is connected to wide
spread aluminum lateral plates using special, high-resistance bolts.
The combination formed by these elements forms an extremely stiff
and lightweight frame, an extremely rational and excellent solution
for reining in all the horses of the new Aprilia V90.


The contained longitudinal
development of the engine has led to obtaining an agile bike, a
feature that also benefits from the choice to position the shock
absorber laterally. Thanks to this solution, space was created for
the exhaust manifolds that have a shape and volume calibrated to
perfection in order to get the best performance from the engine.
This has allowed for an optimum exhaust manifold layout, without
having a significant impact on the length of the bike and without
thermally stressing a fundamental riding element like the shock
absorber.
The aluminum alloy swingarm with
stiffening truss boasts stiffness values at the top of its category
and it is sized to withstand the asymmetrical stress of the
laterally positioned shock absorber.
Aprilia Shiver 900 adopts a
new 41 mm stanchions Kayaba fork,
almost a half kilo lighter than the one mounted on the first
version, adjustable in hydraulic rebound damping and spring preload,
with chill cast feet to support the radial callipers. The 120 mm
travel lets you smoothly tackle urban and mountain routes. The two
steering yoke plates are made of forged aluminum.
Rear shock absorber, mounted on
the side, is pivoted directly to the swingarm, following the
cantilever layout. Adjustable spring preload and hydraulic rebound,
with rear wheel travel of 130 mm.
The sporty, three-spoked
rims are also new, inspired by the standard Aprilia Tuono
V4 wheels and contributors to containing the weight, reducing the
front by 0.9 kg and the rear by 1.3 kg. This leads to a drastic
reduction of the gyroscopic effect and therefore greater agility for
the bike, improved suspension functionality thanks to the reduction
of unsprung masses and quicker acceleration. The new wheels come
with 120/70 front tires and 180/55 on the rear.
The braking system, equipped with
two-channel ABS, implements radial callipers to highlight the
sport-orientation and 320 mm discs on the front, and single-piston
caliper with a 240 mm disc in the rear. Both front and rear systems
have metal braided lines derived from the aeronautic sector,
eliminating buffering effect of conventional lines while
guaranteeing maximum braking precision.
Original Aprilia
Accessories Range: Sport and Touring
A wide range of accessories
dedicated to sport and touring is available for the
Shiver 900 as well. The former highlight the sport soul and the
unmistakable Aprilia racing character: parts in precious carbon,
billet aluminum components, such as brake and clutch fluid reservoir
covers, brake and clutch levers and mirrors, as well as the
must-have frame guard and fork bumpers. The accessories dedicated to
touring increase the comfort of the Shiver 900, such as the comfort
saddle, side panniers and the seat bag. As with the other Aprilia
motorcycles, the Aprilia Multimedia Platform is available which,
thanks to Bluetooth connectivity and the interface with handlebar
controls and the new TFT display, allow the rider to manage and
share all the trip information, from data on more sport-oriented
riding to touring-related information, with indications on
consumption, routes and trip speeds, grip conditions and even
Aprilia locations.
