ULTRAVIOLETTE F77

SOFTWARE, NOT SPANNERS, HAS MADE THE F77 GO BALLISTIC+

- ROHIT PARADKAR

The F77 looks unchanged on the outside, and mechanically, it's the same bike you saw last year.

But under that sharp bodywork, Ultraviolette has quietly turned coder. Instead of metal and gears, this update is all about code.

Why the fuss? European feedback. Ultraviolette has now begun operations in Europe, and with the F77 zipping around Autobahns, owners were demanding sustained performance at higher speeds. Indian roads rarely see 130 km/h bursts for an hour, but Europe does. So Ultraviolette reworked the bike’s thermal and power management via software tweaks. No new motor, no bigger battery. Just smarter brains running the show.
