After bringing a breath of fresh air to the naked
bike category, with Shiver Aprilia raises the technological
bar once again in the sports touring segment with
the Shiver 750 GT, an innovative Sports Tourer, the
perfect combination of sports handling, versatility
and value in true Aprilia style.
A two-cylinder engine with almost limitless torque,
comfortable for two, excellent aerodynamic protection
and a chassis that has become a benchmark, are just
some of the distinctive features of the Aprilia Shiver
750 GT which, thanks to its dynamic and technological
characteristics, is without a doubt a point of reference
of the segment, proving once again that Aprilia has
what it takes to offer even the most demanding motorcyclists
exactly what they want, also with a high technological
content.
The equipment of the bike brings the technical level
of the segment to new heights, with Aprilia’s
offer far above that of its competitors. The integral
Ride by Wire accelerator, the mapping management controlled
by the rider (Sport, Touring and Rain), and the brakes
with radial calipers, are truly unique solutions for
the sports touring segment and make the Aprilia Shiver
750 GT a sophisticated bike, and a real one-of-a-kind.
The half-fairing gives the Shiver 750 GT the chance
to exploit the full versatility of its Naked sister.
The added aerodynamic protection in fact, expands
the range of use of the Shiver 750 GT notably, making
it a “all-round” bike with a complete
range of use. From daily commuting, to a trip in the
summer, the Shiver 750 GT will meet your needs to
perfection, making your rides a pleasure - intuitive,
brilliant and safe.
The main characteristics of the Aprilia Shiver 750
GT are:
• 90° V2 engine with four valves per cylinder,
double overhead camshaft and liquid cooling;
• ride-by-wire electronic throttle technology
with 3 different mappings (Sport, Touring and Rain);
• electronic fuel injection with latest generation
injectors;
• mixed gear and chain valve timing;
• modular steel trellis and aluminium side plate
frame for high torsional rigidity;
• aluminium swingarm with reinforcement truss
and lateral shock absorber;
• 43 mm upside down fork;
• brakes with radial caliper at front;
• latest generation two channel ABS (ABS version
only);
The Aprilia Shiver 750 GT comes with the same sophisticated
technical package as the Shiver, except for the engine
which is a modern 90° V-twin - Euro 3. This engine,
the first every mass-produced engine to use the integral
Ride By Wire system, made its mark immediately thanks
to its dynamic characteristics. Delivering 95 HP,
it is not only the most powerful twin in its category;
the engine also has a torque curve which comes in
right from low revs making the bike competitive even
with bikes fitted with bigger engines, as far as pulling
power goes.
The perfect engine for this type of bike, its full
and brilliant delivery are just what the rider of
the Aprilia Shiver 750 GT is looking for from a bike
that offers not only the very best performance, but
which is also easy and intuitive to ride, with the
wide torque band notably reducing the need to change
gear even when fully laden.
What’s more, the rider can choose between three
mapping setups (Sport, Touring, Rain) to always have
the ideal power delivery for the current road conditions
and their own particular riding style.
This is where the innovation that only the Aprilia
engineers could apply first comes into play, the generous
power and torque of the V2 are filtered by the Ride-by-Wire
system for the best possible power delivery for all
type of motorcyclists in every possible condition.
With the Sport mapping setting, the behaviour of the
engine is the thrilling sports performance of the
Aprilia twin. The Touring setting gives you a softer
power delivery for those relaxing moments when sports
performance is set aside for the pleasures of touring,
using more of the engine’s torque. Finally,
the Rain Map, which reduces the torque delivered by
25%, helps the riders avoid spinning the rear wheel
when starting on slippery roads.
The sophisticated chassis of the Shiver 750 GT sets
the standard for the competition. A composite-type
frame (steel trellis and aluminium side members) designed
to work in perfect symbiosis with the 43 mm upside
down fork and the strong aluminium swingarm with reinforcement
truss. The adjustable laterally mounted monoshock
is another characteristic mark of the Aprilia Shiver
750 GT. Its position leaves ample room for the exhaust
under the seat, which means a very linear exhaust
system with an optimal volumetric design to bring
the very best out of the engine.
The first class chassis couldn’t be complete
without top class brakes. Radial calipers act on 320
mm discs, and the ABS version is also equipped with
a sophisticated 2-channel ABS system to bring riding
safety to the very highest levels.
