India’s roads present unique challenges for riders: dense traffic, unpredictable surfaces, and extreme weather conditions. The Ultraviolette F77 Mach 2 rises to meet these demands with a powerful 30 kW motor, a punchy 100 Nm of torque, and a practical range of 323 km on a single charge. While the specs look impressive on paper, the real question remains: how well does the F77 Mach 2 handle Indian road conditions in practice? Let’s dive into a performance breakdown that goes beyond the numbers.
Navigating Indian roads demands both quick acceleration and precise control. The Ultraviolette F77 Mach 2 delivers on both fronts, accelerating from 0 to 60 km/h in just 2.8 seconds, making lane changes and overtaking smooth and confident. In heavy city traffic, Glide mode helps conserve battery while maintaining optimal throttle response at stoplights and slow-moving zones. Meanwhile, Hill Hold Assist adds a practical edge for metro riders, preventing rollback on flyovers and steep inclines — a common challenge in many urban Indian settings.

With a top speed of 155 km/h, the Ultraviolette F77 Mach 2 handles highways like the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway or Bengaluru–Chennai Highway with absolute ease. Switch to Ballistic Mode to unleash the bike’s full power, enabling effortless overtakes and thrilling high-speed stretches. Its 17-inch alloy wheels enhance grip and ensure stable handling, even at top speeds — making the F77 a solid performer beyond city limits.Slide 4: Handling on Indian Roads and Pothole

Indian roads are often riddled with potholes, speed bumps, and rough patches, but the Ultraviolette F77 Mach 2 is built to handle it all. Equipped with 41 mm USD front forks and a preload-adjustable monoshock, the suspension system absorbs road shocks with ease, delivering a comfortable and controlled ride. The wide 150/60-17 rear tyre further boosts traction and stability, ensuring confident handling even on uneven or slippery surfaces.

The Ultraviolette F77 Mach 2 features 320 mm front and 230 mm rear disc brakes paired with dual-channel ABS, ensuring powerful and controlled braking in India’s often chaotic traffic conditions. Whether it’s a sudden stop due to an unexpected roadblock or braking on slippery monsoon roads, the F77’s braking system prioritizes rider safety and stability in every situation.

While Ultraviolette claims a range of 323 km, real-world performance varies based on riding style, speed, and traffic conditions. In typical urban scenarios, riders can expect between 270–300 km per charge, while highway riding in Ballistic mode delivers a solid 200–220 km. The built-in Violette AI system continuously monitors your riding behavior and road conditions to suggest mode changes and settings that help maximize battery efficiency — ensuring you get the most out of every charge.

With a real-world range of up to 300 km, the Ultraviolette F77 Mach 2 makes road trips like Bengaluru to Ooty (270 km) or Delhi to Jaipur (280 km) entirely doable on a single charge. Its ergonomically designed seat and well-tuned suspension system reduce rider fatigue, even over long hours. Plus, regenerative braking proves especially effective in hilly terrains, recovering energy during descents and further extending the bike’s range.

It is powered by a robust 10.3 kWh SRB7 lithium-ion battery that supports fast and efficient charging. Using a standard charger, the battery can reach 35% in just 1 hour and fully charge to 100% in around 5 hours. In metro cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, the rapidly expanding EV charging infrastructure further enhances the F77’s practicality , making long-distance rides and intercity travel more accessible than ever.

Riding in heavy rain is a valid concern for EV riders, but the Ultraviolette F77 Mach 2 is engineered to handle it. Its IP67-rated battery and water-resistant components offer solid protection against water ingress, making it well-suited for India’s intense monsoon conditions. Additionally, Rain Mode intelligently reduces power output and enhances traction, giving riders greater control and stability on wet, slippery roads.

India’s unpredictable traffic demands intelligent safety features. The F77 offers Dynamic Stability Control, 3 traction control levels (Rain, City, Track), and 10 levels of regenerative braking, ensuring better control in various conditions. The mobile app provides real-time range tracking and low battery alerts.

With rising fuel prices (₹100+ per litre in many cities), the F77 is significantly cheaper to run. Charging the 10.3 kWh battery costs ₹100-₹150, compared to ₹500+ for an equivalent petrol ride. Additionally, fewer moving parts mean lower maintenance costs.
