Aprilia launched the Shiver 900 alongside the Dorsoduro 900 in India, with an introductory price tag of Rs. 11,99,000 (ex showroom Pune). The Shiver 900 is a naked Street fighter motorcycle, that adds up to the list of already increasing Naked bikes. The new updated bike is now light in weight and has more performance, thanks to an all new engine. Here is a quick overview of the Aprilia Shiver 900.
Design And Looks:
The Aprilia Shiver 900 has an all new naked Street fighter design, thanks to its beefy front fork, engine and a minimal headlight assembly. The tank is very large with a sculpted extension panel with air intakes. The rear end has a sleek tail lamp with a pair of meaty under seat exhaust canisters. There is a small belly cover to protect the exhaust pipe from mud and gravel.
Engine And Performance:
The bike has a 896cc liquid cooled V twin engine which is capable of producing 95 HP at 8,750 rpm and 90 Nm of torque at 6,600 rpm. The engine has a wet multiplate clutch unit and a standard 6 speed manual transmission.
Brakes, Wheels And Suspension:
The Shiver 900 has large 320mm dual discs up front with Brembo four piston calipers and a single 240mm disc at the rear with a Brembo single piston caliper. Suspension duties are carried out by a 43mm USD fork at the front and a single offset mono shock absorber at the rear.
Electronics Package:
The Aprilia Shiver 900 has various electronic aids like dual channel ABS, switchable traction control, Ride by wire and three riding modes as a part of the standard package. The Shiver 900 also has Bluetooth connectivity just like the Dorsoduro 900, along with a 4.3" TFT display.
Final Impression:
Yet another excellent naked bike in the Indian market takes the Superbike scenario to a whole new level. Priced at Rs. 11,99,000 (ex showroom Pune), makes it a good deal for customers as they get a high quality motorcycle on our shores. The Shiver 900 will lock horns with Kawasaki Z900, Yamaha MT-09 and Ducati Monster 797.
