Ultraviolette Automotive (UV), an electric two-wheeler manufacturer is set to launch an updated version of its F77 electric performance motorcycle called the F77 Mach 2 on April 24. The F77 was first launched in late 2022, and this new version promises to bring several upgrades, making it the most comprehensive update since its debut. Specific details about these upgrades are not fully disclosed yet.

The F77 Mach 2 is expected to bring improvements in performance and technology. The teaser hints at a redesigned Ul on the instrument console, and the Ballistic mode might offer better performance than before. Although the F77 was impressive during initial tests, some felt it could benefit from enhanced low-end performance.

In terms of design, the chassis, body panels, and overall look are likely to remain similar. However, Ultraviolette may introduce new colour options and graphics to revamp the F77 Mach 2's appearance. Updates to the suspension and braking systems, including regenerative braking, are expected to align with any changes in the powertrain.  

The Ultraviolette F77 holds the title of India's fastest electric motorcycle. It comes in two variants - Original and Recon, along with the limited-run Space Edition. The PMS electric motor in the Original variant delivers a power output of 27 kW (36.2 bhp) and 85 Nm of torque, while the Recon variant produces 38.8 bhp and 100 Nm of peak torque. The Original can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 140 km/h, while the Recon does the same in 3.1 seconds with a top speed of 147 km/h. The F77 Space Edition is even quicker, reaching 0-100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 152 km/h. The e-bike is equipped with a 7.1 kWh battery on the Original variant providing a range of 206 km (IDC). The Recon and Space Edition feature a larger 10.3 kWh battery offering a range of 307 km (IDC) on a single charge.

These upgrades are crucial as Ultraviolette expands into the European market, with plans to export the updated F77 from India following the recent opening of its first overseas dealership in Turkiye.
