NAKED SPORTS
CHARACTER

THE BIKE THAT REVOLUTIONISED THE NAKED SCENE IS NOW ALSO
AVAILABLE AS A HALF FAIRING VERSION.
Unmistakable aggressive, innovative styling, incredibly easy to ride,
state of the art chassis architecture, responsive in all riding conditions,
with the outstanding performance of the tri-map twin cylinder
engine, and boasting sophisticated componentry. With Shiver 750,
Aprilia rewrote the rule book for naked bikes, creating a vehicle that
expresses the essence of the marque’s racing experience and passion.
The Shiver GT 750 pushes back the boundaries for excitement and
comfort even further, with a version that is more protective yet
maintains the same sporting spirit as the original concept.

TOTAL
PLEASURE
EFFICIENCY, SAFETY AND EXCITEMENT, WHETHER ON THE DAILY
COMMUTE OR CRUISING THROUGH THE MOST SPECTACULAR OF
LANDSCAPES.
Enjoy the character of the sports bike you have always dreamt of to the
full, in every occasion and situation - whether on the daily commute, on a
weekend trip or a long journey. Mile after mile, bend after bend, whether
alone or two-up. A riding position designed to minimise fatigue, generous
power delivery and torque on tap whenever you need it mean that any
journey can be tackled with extraordinary ease and confidence. The
electronically managed latest generation Ride-by-Wire throttle and three
different engine maps selectable on the fly ensure optimum performance
for all situations: from an exciting blast to smoother, more relaxed
moments and riding in poor road conditions. The version with two-channel
ABS offers the peace of mind of even greater active and passive safety,
even in the most challenging situations.

TECHNOLOGY AND SPORTS SPIRIT FORMING AN INTEGRAL PART
OF AN UNMISTAKABLE STYLE.
Dynamic, essential, sleek lines. The engine and chassis are proudly
put on display as the technological masterpieces that they are.
The tail fairing with twin tailpipes under the saddle is a perfectly
integrated element of the design. Racing aluminium swingarm with
reinforcement brace. Shiver 750 introduced a new styling language
in the naked world. A unique design which, with the top fairing of
the Shiver GT 750, gains a new sense of protection, aerodynamic
efficiency and prestige.
Perfectly in keeping with the spirit of the bike,
the top fairing of the Shiver GT 750 includes
two practical oddments storage compartments
which are easily accessible even when on the
move. The fairing also boasts a 12V socket for
powering a GPS receiver, a battery charger or
other accessories.
The broad and comfortable
single-piece saddle neatly
follows the lines of the exhaust,
emphasising the sports spirit of the
Shiver and contributing to the bike’s
perfect weight balance.

DISTINCTIVE
DESIGN

Ride-by-Wire
100% made in Italy, engineered
and constructed entirely by
aprilia, the 90° V-twin offers
performance comparable to
that of a four cylinder of the
same class, with incredible
elasticity and rideability. The
90° V configuration allows for
remarkable results in terms of
performance and compactness.
Exciting and potent when you
want to carve through the turns,
smooth and linear when you want
to enjoy the scenery on a longer
journey, and reliable, thanks to
aprilia experience and quality.
The electronic throttle: for optimum power
delivery in all conditions
Electronic fuel injection manages the 95 hp
unleashed at 9000 rpm, optimising torque delivery
across the rev range for a bike that is easy,
efficient and fun to ride.
Aprilia was the first to introduce
electronic throttle management on
a production bike, revolutionising
both riding pleasure and ease.
Shiver features a latest generation
Ride-By-Wire system which
optimises power delivery,
emissions and fuel consumption
in relation to engine speed, gear
selected, throttle grip aperture and
closure speed, temperature and
atmospheric pressure.
