2012 Aprilia Shiver 750 ABS
EXCLUSIVE TECHNOLOGY AND ITALIAN STYLE WITH ABS.
The Aprilia naked which astonished the
world with stylistic and technological content which was so fresh and
new that it was inaccessible to the direct competition, confirms the
leadership it has built thanks to its strong personality, riding
pleasure and ergonomic features.
2012 Aprilia Shiver 750 ABS Review
An innovative engine fitted with latest generation integral Ride by
Wire, a multimap, a first-rate chassis which is able to satisfy all
levels of riders, and technical outfit that no other bike even comes
close to. Aprilia Shiver is without a doubt the benchmark bike for
medium engine capacity nakeds.
There are a few key issues which mark the success of Shiver. It is a
bike which can seduce even the most demanding rider, but it is also able
to bring on those who are new to the two-wheeled scene, as it is so
amazingly easy to ride.
ABS included
2012 Aprilia Shiver 750 ABS Model Highlights
The main characteristics of the Aprilia Shiver 750 ABS are:
- V2 90° engine with four valves per cylinder, double overhead camshaft and liquid cooling;
- the integral Ride-by-Wire tri-map technology developed for competitions;
- modular trellis/aluminium frame with significant torsional rigidity;
- aluminium swingarm with stiffener brace and lateral shock absorber;
- 43 mm upside down fork;
- racing brakes with radial callipers and 320mm Wave discs
- Sport rider/passenger footpegs
- Rear wheel with 5.5 mm channel
Design
Shiver aims in no uncertain terms towards sportiness. The colouring with
a new graphic (Bianco Glam and Nero Aprilia), the "wavy" discs and the
sporty rider footpegs are just a few of the signals which Shiver gives
off to the beholder. The line remains very streamline and Italian and
thanks to the clever use of the new colours and graphics, Shiver moves
up a few notches as far as balance and aggression are concerned,
highlighting some techniques that really make a difference, such as, for
instance, the side shock absorber or the mixed steel trellis frame and
aluminium plates.
The engine
The V90 engine is the result of the extensive experience Aprilia has in
high performance mechanics. Thanks to its peculiar technical features
the Aprilia twin-cylinder is able to combine an exceptionally high
level of output with maximum exploitation rates and user-friendly riding
options. The research conducted to reach top performance levels in its
category has led to the decision to adopt some advanced cutting-edge
technical solutions. Generous torque is always available throughout the
entire range of rpms, minimal vibrations, full output and power at the
top of its category... all characteristics of the Aprilia V2 750.
Shiver naturally confirms the integrated multi-map Ride by Wire
technology which evolves further, also taking advantage of the racing
experience gained from the RSV4 superbike. This technical solution
obviously represents the state-of-the-art version of engine control
systems and Aprilia Shiver confirms its technological leadership
position in its sector.
With the simple touch of the starter control the rider can select, even
while moving but with closed throttle, one of the three maps, and
radically change the motorcycle's character:
- "Sport" to have the "throttle in hand" when a rider needs to let off
steam exploiting the entire character of this Italian twin cylinder
bike;
- "Touring" when smoother power delivery and fluidity are essential
during the moments when the racing desires are set aside to enjoy a more
relaxing ride, even two-up;
- "Rain" when grip is not as good as it should be and maximum safety is the main objective.
Thanks to the technical solutions installed on this bike the V90 Aprilia
is able to achieve outstanding output values. Maximum power of 95 HP at
9,000 rpm and maximum torque of 81 Nm at 7,000 rpm is top of the line
performance. The amazing torque available even at bottom end means that
nothing can beat Shiver on mixed tracks.
Frame
You don't change a winning team, so for this Aprilia Shiver the chassis
choices are confirmed from the previous version, starting from the
composite trellis frame and aluminium plates. The engine is
exceptionally compact length-wise making it possible to obtain a highly
agile bike, which is also helped by the particular choice to install the
shock absorber on the side: this is not simply an aesthetic choice but a
precise technical decision as it frees some extra space for the exhaust
which can then benefit from optimal volumes.
The aluminium swingarm with the stiffener brace is dimensioned to
withstand the asymmetrical stress caused by the lateral position of the
shock absorber. The swingarm has benchmark rigidity levels in this
category.
Suspensions
Upside-down fork with 43-mm stanchions and shell cast calliper mounts
offering benchmark smoothness. Its 120-mm travel allows the rider to
easily cope with city roads and mountain paths.
The lateral shock absorber is fitted directly to the swingarm using a
cantilever set-up and the spring preload and hydraulic rebound are
adjustable; the rear wheel travel is 130 mm.
Dynamic qualities also enhanced by the choice of the 5.5 x 17 rear
wheel, which maximises its handiness and rapidity in direction changes.
Brakes
Along with its radial callipers, a solution that it pioneered for the
sector, Shiver now adds wavy brake discs which ensure, besides a
different aesthetic impact, a braking grip which is more decisive and
can be modulated.
The rear brake features a 245mm disc with single piston calliper to provide adequate support to the front system.
Both the front and rear systems have metal braided braking pipes,
derived from the aeronautic sector, which eliminate the annoying
buffering effect of conventional pipes and guarantee maximum braking
accuracy and top-class system.
ABS version adopts a 2-channel Continental system which is able to
guarantee maximum levels of safety when braking in all conditions.
