SUSPENSION
 Optimum definition of the suspension is an
obsession for Aprilia designers. Even
such a "simple" bike as a naked must have the best possible
available. The Aprilia SL 750 Shiver therefore
stands out from the pack in this delicate area as well.
The 43 mm upside down fork with forged feet to
support the radial calipers provides benchmark smoothness. The 120 mm wheel travel makes the bike equally at
home on about town trips and mountain routes. The bottom steering yoke is made
from forged aluminium, the top steering yoke from forged anodised aluminium.
The side shock absorber rests directly on the
swingarm, according to the cantilever principle, and provides adjustments for
spring preload and hydraulic rebound. Rear wheel travel is 130 mm.
THE BRAKES
The best technology currently available is
incorporated in the Aprilia SL 750 Shiver, the first medium powered naked with a
radial caliper system, a feature emphasising even further (as if it were
needed) the sporty personality of the design.
The 320 mm
front disks are the same as used in the racing flagships, the RSV 1000 and
Tuono 1000 R.
At the back, a 245 mm disk with twin piston
caliper provides adequate backup for the front circuit.
The front and rear braking circuits both use
aeronautical metal braid hoses to eliminate the pressure variations associated
with conventional rubber brake lines, guaranteeing maximum braking precision
for a top level system.
COMPONENTS
The Matrix instrument panel: the combined
digital and analog instrument panel receives all the data over a CAN line and
acts as an integral part of the self-diagnostics system as it also has a
memory. The design is extremely modern,
compact and lightweight. All functions can be switched by means of the
handlebar control. The LED backlighting can be adjusted to three levels: white
in the analogue zone and red in the digital zone.
The biconical aluminium handlebars are a
direct reference to the handlebars of the Tuono, Aprilia's naked flagship. Maximum lightness and maximum control. A top quality component no other bike in its
class can boast.
The double parabola front light has complex
surfaces and a double parking light.
