Overview

Introducing the 2017 Aprilia Shiver 900, a captivating naked bike that perfectly blends raw power with an exhilarating riding experience. Designed for both urban commuting and spirited weekend rides, the Shiver 900 stands out in a competitive market, appealing to riders who crave performance without the full-fairing aesthetics of sportbikes. With its bold lines and aggressive stance, this motorcycle is not just a visual statement; it’s a declaration of intent, made for those who want to dominate the road. At the heart of the Shiver 900 lies a potent 896.10 ccm V2, four-stroke engine that churns out an impressive 95.20 horsepower at 8,750 RPM, paired with a robust torque output of 90.00 Nm at 6,500 RPM. This dynamic engine, complemented by a smooth 6-speed transmission and a chain final drive, offers a thrilling ride characterized by strong acceleration and a responsive throttle. The liquid cooling system ensures optimal performance, even in demanding conditions, while the Ride by Wire technology enhances control, allowing riders to effortlessly manage power delivery. Whether you’re navigating through city traffic or carving through winding roads, the Shiver 900 delivers a confident and engaging experience. The Shiver 900 is equipped with advanced features that elevate its performance and safety. The modular tubular steel frame, combined with an aluminum subframe, offers both rigidity and flexibility, enhancing handling and stability. The front suspension boasts a 41 mm upside-down fork with adjustable hydraulic rebound damping and spring preload, delivering 120 mm of travel, while the rear features an aluminum alloy swingarm with a hydraulic shock absorber, providing 130 mm of travel. Stopping power is equally impressive, with dual 320 mm wave discs up front and a single 240 mm wave disc at the rear, both equipped with ABS for added safety. This combination of technology and design results in a motorcycle that not only looks great but performs exceptionally well in various riding conditions. **
