Check out a new Aprilia / Gilera Shiver 900

While an attempt was made to hide the fairings, with the classic black and white camouflage, the name “Gilera” is shown on the headlight and on the instrumentation of the bike. There are still no indications regarding the equipment of the bike, but frame, engine and chassis seem identical to those of the old Aprilia Shiver. The headlight is also visually similar, but has been updated to adopt LED lighting technology, complete with DRL at the edges.

According to information coming from the East, the new Gilera will be produced by Zongshen-Piaggio in China. With lower price, thanks to Chinese manufacturing, it could be an attractive option globally if Piaggio decides to sell the “new Shiver” also in the rest of the world. As China’s emissions regulations are already quite strict, meeting the requirements for sales in Europe or the United States shouldn’t be a significant obstacle for the company.
