THE FIRST THING ANYONE WILL be attracted to when they look at the F77 is its sleek design language. Ultraviolette say that it has been inspired by the F-series fighter jets. After carefully inspecting all the sharp styling elements of the bodywork, I can confirm that this does, in fact, look like my favourite jet fighter: the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor.
The LED headlight at the front resembles the cockpit of a fighter jet and the sleek bodywork surrounding the battery pack has been neatly executed. The small wings jutting out of either side of the bodywork are actually part of the steel trellis frame; they are the only protection in case of a crash. While everything looks great, an accident would be an expensive affair considering that all the bodywork is plastic.
The riding position is properly on the sporty side with the foot-pegs set towards the rear and a low clip-on handlebar. The seat height stands at 800 millimetre, which I found fairly accessible with my 5-7-foot height. There are technically three variants of the Ultraviolette F77: Standard, Recon, and Limited. As its name suggests, the "Limited" variant is limited to just 77 units and has already been reserved for specific customers, making the Recon the top-end variant. There are three colour options to choose from: Supersonic Silver, Stealth Grey, and Plasma Red.
