While the Shiver is an all-new brand for India, Aprilia already sells the Dorsudoro 1200 in the country and the 900 is a more affordable version of the dual-purpose motorcycle. The Dorsoduro 900 shares the same hardware as the Shiver 900 including multiple riding modes. Sharing the same underpinnings, the bikes use a 896 cc V-Twin engine tuned to produce 95.2 bhp of power and 8750 rpm and 90 Nm of peak torque at 6500 rpm. The motor comes paired to a 6-speed transmission. In addition, both bikes are also equipped with the lighter Kayaba USD front forks and lighter three-spoked rims, while the rear sports a monoshock suspension setup.
