ESSENTIAL
DESIGN
The triangular silencers
of the twinned underseat
exhaust are a highly
characteristic feature
of the bike’s design and
also optimise weight
distribution for great looks
and perfect balance.
The SL 750 SHIVER is the
new trend-setter in the
world of naked bikes.
An elegant combination of form and function, the SL 750 SHIVER is unrivalled in style and technology.
Its slender proportions and aggressive lines envelop the latest motorcycle technology in iconic style. Its
sporty appearance excites from the very first glance. The unmistakable SL 750 SHIVER turns its rider
into a master of the road.
The sculpted, sporty tank, seat and tail unit emphasise the SL 750 SHIVER’s compact dimensions. The engine
and frame blend perfectly into the overall design, which leaves the bike’s refined technology in full view. The
under-seat exhaust system follows the bike’s aggressive yet elegant lines, ensuring that the SL 750 SHIVER is
totally unique from all points of view.

INTEGRATED FRAME + ENGINE
SHIVER750
TECHNOLOGY
IN ITS
PUREST
Aprilia’s brand new V twin has been
rigorously tested on the bench and in
endless track and road test sessions.
Liquid cooling, four valves per cylinder
and double overhead cam valve gear
make the SL 750 SHIVER’s 90° V twin
the reference point for this class of
machine. Exuberant under sports
riding conditions, yet smooth and
responsive in daily commuting, the
engine delivers character in every
twist of the throttle. Its impressive
compactness keeps the bike’s overall
dimensions to a minimum and ensures
optimal weight distribution, so control
and handling remain crisp under all
riding conditions.
Aprilia’s new 90° V twin develops a generous 95 HP at
9,000 rpm with plenty of torque right through the rev range.
Electronic fuel injection and micro-spray injectors also mean
that the new engine is extremely environmentally concious.
STATE Ride-by-Wire
exclusive innovation
The SL 750 Shiver is the first production
motorcycle in this class to incorporate
Ride-by-Wire electronic throttle control.
The Ride-by-Wire system controls throttle
openings by an electronic connection
alone. This advanced and sophisticated
system manages engine power in real
time, adapting output to engine speed,
road speed, gear selection, atmospheric
pressure, throttle position and even the
speed with which the twist-grip is being
turned. This results in the optimal fuelling
for any given riding situation and style.

Essential naked style made fascinating
by advanced technology and exclusive
design.

MONOSHOCK
+
SWINGARM
The experience of hundreds of victories on the world’s racing circuits allows Aprilia to
guarantee unrivalled excellence in motorcycle frame design.
The SL 750 SHIVER confirms Aprilia’s talents for frame design. Its innovative mixed frame
combines a tubular trellis upper section with robust cast side members in top quality
aluminium, assembled by high strength bolts. Exceptionally light yet impressively strong,
this innovative frame design lets you make full use of the power delivered by the 90° V twin
engine while maintaining high precision control.
The lateral positioning of the monoshock not
only enhances the uniqueness of the bike’s
styling but also saves space and allows the
exhaust to follow the ideal path, optimising
balance. The unit’s convenient location also
enables the rear suspension to be adjusted
precisely and easily. The exhaust header pipes
from the cylinders join before the single underseat
silencer, before splitting again into two tail
pipes. The high volume of the 10 litre silencer
ensures optimum engine efficiency.
Every single component on the SL 750
SHIVER speaks of excellence. The size and
shape of the aluminium swingarm have been
specially calculated to achieve a level of
rigidity unrivalled in this class of machine and
combined with the 43 mm upside down forks,
providing 120mm of wheel travel, allow you
to tackle all sorts of roads quickly, comfortably
and confidently. The steering yokes are forged
in aluminium for racing strength and lightness.
The SL 750 SHIVER is also equipped
with radially mounted brake calipers and
aeronautical braided brake hoses exactly as on
Aprilia’s supersport machines – a first in this
class

RADIAL CALIPERS
The front brakes feature radially
mounted calipers with four different
diameter (32-37mm) opposed pistons,
acting in pairs on a 320 mm floating
disc all under the control of an axial
master cylinder with built-in reservoir.
This racing style braking technology
ensures smooth progressive braking at
all times and under all conditions.

clutch guarantees constantly smooth action. In short, everything about the SL 750
SHIVER’s equipment delivers unrivalled prestige for unique riding satisfaction.

The instrument panel receives
engine data over a CAN line, and
also incorporates a memory for selfdiagnostics.
The instrument panel’s
numerous functions can all be accessed

control. The LED backlighting, white for
the analog section and red for the digital
