The Ultraviolette F99 Electric Motorcycle at EICMA 2023
Ultraviolette Automotive, once again, asserts India’s dominance in electric motorcycle manufacturing by revealing the latest evolution of the F99 Factory Racing Program at EICMA 2023. This upgraded F99 sets new standards, surpassing the brand’s previous debut at the Auto Expo 2023. The Ultraviolette F99, India’s premier electric superbike, boasting cutting-edge performance with a top speed of 265 km/h, redefining speed, power, and sustainability in the world of electric motorcycles.
Power and Performance Redefined
The race-ready F99 showcases a liquid-cooled powertrain, achieving an astounding peak power output of 90kW, securing its position as India’s fastest electric superbike with an impressive top speed of 265kmph. Beyond its ability to accelerate from 0-100kmph in just 3 seconds, the F99 boasts advanced aerodynamics.
Winglets and ducts adorn the front cowl, side panels, and rear end, integrating active aerodynamics. Innovative design and engineering shine through in elements like the windshield and front cowl ducts, contributing to its active aerodynamic prowess.
Technical Marvels and Design Elegance
Delving into the F99’s details reveals a steel hybrid frame, aluminium swingarm, and carbon fibre bodywork. The motorcycle flaunts a 1400mm wheelbase and a tire setup featuring 120/70 R17 front and 180/55 R17 rear.
Impressively, the F99 maintains a nimble profile with a mere 178kg kerb weight. Complementing its aerodynamics are the gold USD fork and mono-shock suspension setup, coupled with carbon fibre covers for the 17-inch wheels.
The CNC machined rear sets, introduced during the Auto Expo 2023, remain a focal point, offering adjustability to cater to the rider’s preferred posture on the motorcycle. This commitment to rider comfort and customization adds an extra layer of appeal to the F99, setting it apart in the electric superbike landscape.
Ultraviolette Automotive emphasizes that the F99 Factory Racing Program isn’t exclusively designed for racing enthusiasts. In a surprising move, the production version is slated to launch globally in 2025, with an anticipated price tag of around Rs 8 lakh (ex-showroom).
This places the Ultraviolette F99 in direct competition with traditional petrol-powered superbikes like the Triumph Trident 660 and the Kawasaki Z900.
European Expansion with the F77
In an exciting new chapter, Ultraviolette Automotive has announced that its flagship electric motorcycle, the F77, will soon be available in Europe. With a price range between 9,000 and 11,000 Euros (roughly Rs 8 lakh to Rs 9.19 lakh), the F77 is poised to make a significant impact on the European market. Registrations for the much-anticipated release will open on November 15, 2023, marking the start of a new era for electric motorcycles in the region. The F77’s debut in Europe reflects Ultraviolette’s ambition to establish itself as a global leader in the electric mobility space, offering European riders a high-performance alternative to traditional motorcycles.
The European-spec F77 will closely mirror the F77 Space Edition, showcasing the same exceptional output and performance figures that have already made it a standout in the Indian market. Ultraviolette’s focus on performance is evident, as the F77 is currently the fastest electric motorcycle on sale in India, and it also offers the highest range among electric bikes in the country. With its combination of cutting-edge technology, impressive speed, and long-range capabilities, the F77 is set to capture the attention of motorcycle enthusiasts around the world, offering a glimpse into the future of sustainable, high-performance electric bikes.
Already a force in the Indian market, the F77 holds the title of the fastest electric motorcycle on sale and boasts the highest range among electric motorcycles in India.
