Ultraviolette F99 Is Looking To Set A New Quarter Mile Top Speed Record
This is a proud moment for us at Ultraviolette and for India. A testament to what we can achieve with the right focus. Completely imagined, designed and made in India. Ultraviolette Automotive’s groundbreaking F99 is about to redefine electric motorcycles in India. This beast is ready to shatter records over the next 90 days by aiming for Quarter-mile speed record and highest top speed ever achieved by an Indian-made bike.
Ultraviolette is the only manufacturer that has an EV that can give a motorcycle enthusiast a rush of adrenaline. The company has something even more interesting in the form of the F99, a fully-faired motorcycle that is focused on performance. Now, the company aims to set a top speed record, not just for EVs, but for any Indian motorcycle.
The Ultraviolette F99 sits above the F77 which is on sale in India, and soon globally. While the F99 is a track-only motorcycle, a lot of its technology has trickled down to the F77, especially in the battery and motor department.
The F99 features a full fairing, USD forks, clip-on bars with split seats and rear-set foot pegs, giving the motorcycle the right sportbike stance. The motorcycle will attempt to set the fastest quarter-mile top speed record at Amby Valley for an Indian motorcycle.
Ultraviolette did release a teaser of the motorcycle last year ahead of EICMA, and with its 90kW motor, the F99 can accelerate from 0-100kmph in under three seconds, while being able to reach a claimed top speed of 265kmph. With the upcoming drag races set to take place at Amby Valley, it will be interesting to see how the all-electric F99 performs and what it achieves in terms of timing and top speed.
Ultraviolette’s is set to throw open challenge to Bajaj and other ICE two-wheeler makers, asking for a challenge to bring its fastest machine out on the drag strip for a race. This challenge is more to do with collaborations rather than anything else. It will be interesting to see what other ICE makers have as a response. This is a proud moment for us at Ultraviolette and for India. A testament to what we can achieve with the right focus. Completely imagined, designed and made in India
