ULTRAVIOLETTE F77

Track Machine On Road!

Whenever we say that we are on the cusp of transition, the future is changing rapidly; sooner or later, we must face the realities of the EV world. We tend to say this with a heavy heart as deep inside, we still want to experience the limit of an internal combustion engine, mainly with bikes. Ever since the Bangalore-based startup Ultraviolette showcased its F77 bike, it intrigued a sense of curiosity to see it in the real world. After delays and delays, and changes after changes - it finally made it into the market. Ever since it was showcased, I was pretty excited to ride it, primarily because it looked damm fast, and secondly - how well does it evoke thrilling emotions? F77 Recon puts itself in a unique proposition wherein one has no reference point to compare it against. Despite already owning a KTM Duke 390, I was drawn to the electric F77 for its striking appearance and impressive potential sporty character. I have ridden it through city confines and taken highway runs to check if the experience is yet wholesome enough to replace ICE bikes.

EASY GOING MILE MUNCHER: HERO XOOM 160

AFTER WHAT FEELS LIKE AN ETERNITY, we've finally had the chance to ride the Hero Xoom 160. I was really looking forward to it — not just because it's India's first homegrown maxi-scooter, but also because it brings something unique to the table, with a style and character that leans more towards the adventure segment. Unveiled at EICMA 2024, the Xoom 160 made its India debut at the Bharat Mobility Show earlier this year, and was launched at ₹1.49 lakh. It features a new engine, stronger underpinnings, and a host of other upgrades, all aimed at competing with the likes of the Yamaha Aerox 155 and the new TVS NTorq 150. So, what’s it like from behind the handlebar? Read on to find out.
