The First Ride Experience: What to Expect from the Ultraviolette F77 SuperStreet and F77 MACH 2

Early morning. The roads are empty. You’re about to start your first ride on a machine that looks like it belongs in a sci-fi film. Just pure electric power, waiting to be unleashed. That’s what it feels like when you climb on the Ultraviolette F77 SuperStreet or the F77 MACH 2.

But here’s the real deal. Is it really that different from a petrol bike? Does it deliver on all the hype? And most importantly, what should you expect from your very first ride?

Let’s break it all down, rider to rider.

1. The First Look: It’s Not Just a Bike, It’s a Conversation Starter

You don’t just walk up to the F77 SuperStreet or MACH 2. You approach them. These bikes look sharp, aggressive, and futuristic from every angle. The fairing is edgy. The stance is low and sporty. The LED headlight setup looks like it’s staring straight through traffic. Honestly, people turn around and stare when it’s parked.

The first time you see it in person, the F77 doesn’t feel like a typical Indian motorcycle. It feels premium. European-level design, Indian heart, and electric brain.

For anyone who’s used to the usual petrol street bikes, this is like walking into the future. And if you’re into bikes that look fast even when standing still, you’re going to love this.

2. Hopping On: The Feel of Quality Hits First

Slide a leg over the F77, and the first thing you’ll notice is how solid everything feels. There’s no plastic flex or wobbly switches. The seat is firm but not hard, and the handlebar reach feels just right for city and highway riding.

You grip the throttle, and it’s dead silent. No vibrations. No noise. Just a 5-inch TFT screen lighting up like a fighter jet dashboard.

That screen? It’s not just for speed and range. It also tells you your riding mode, battery level, regen level, system alerts, and even lets you control connected features like calls and messages through your phone.

There’s also this sleek switch console on both sides. Once you get used to it, flipping through the settings becomes second nature. It’s not just modern. It’s smart.

3. That First Twist of the Throttle

Alright. Now we get to the juicy part.

You hit the starter. You’re ready to roll.

If you start in Glide mode, the bike behaves like a relaxed commuter. It’s gentle, almost calming. Perfect for first-timers or city traffic. But switch to Combat, and it starts to show you the real face of electric performance. Twist the throttle, and boom, it responds instantly.

No lag. No delay. Just immediate torque.

Then comes Ballistic mode. And honestly, this is where you go from rider to pilot. The F77 SuperStreet hits 0 to 60 in just 2.8 seconds. It’s like being launched. Not kidding. You’d better be holding on tight. You don’t hear the engine screaming, but you feel the speed. That push on your chest when the torque kicks in is unreal.

Unlike petrol bikes, there’s no gear lag. No clutch work. It’s just twist and fly.

4. Handling and Stability: This Is Where It Wins Hearts

You take a turn. Lean in. Expect some body roll like you’re used to. But nope. The F77 stays planted.

With its 150-section rear tyre and the upside-down front forks, it feels like you’re riding on rails. The grip is solid, even when you’re pushing it hard into corners. The centre of gravity is lower compared to most petrol bikes, thanks to the battery pack sitting under the belly. That gives it amazing balance.

Whether it’s city roundabouts, twisty hill roads, or a straight highway, the F77 handles beautifully. Even sudden turns at 80+ kmph feel sharp and controlled.

The braking setup is confidence-inspiring, too. 320 mm front disc, 230 mm rear disc, and dual-channel ABS that kicks in without any drama. You stop exactly when and where you want to.

And yes, there’s Dynamic Stability Control and Hill Hold Assist, perfect if you’re navigating steep city roads or flyovers.

5. Real-World Ride Modes: Not Just Gimmicks

Let’s talk about the riding modes again, because this is something many petrol riders are curious about.

  • Glide Mode: Great for slow traffic. Smooth, gentle throttle. Feels like you’re cruising on an e-scooter with a massive body.
  • Combat Mode: The sweet spot. Enough power for highway cruising, overtakes, and aggressive city riding.
  • Ballistic Mode: Reserved for when you want to leave everything behind.

You’ll find yourself switching between Combat and Glide most of the time in city traffic. Ballistic mode is more for open highways or those weekend rides when you want to feel the rush.
And here’s the kicker: the regen braking levels. You can choose how much the bike slows down when you let go of the throttle. There are 10 levels to fine-tune your comfort and battery-saving preferences.

6. The Power of Violette AI: Smarter Than Your Last Bike

This isn’t just a motorcycle with a screen. It’s got brains.

The F77 SuperStreet runs on Violette AI, which processes over 3,000 data points per second. It tracks how you ride, where you ride, how fast, how often you brake, and even your lean angles.

What does that mean for you?

The bike can suggest the best riding mode, tell you what regen level suits your style, and optimise your battery usage. If that doesn’t blow your mind, I don’t know what will.

Most petrol bikes are dumb machines. The F77 learns with you. It adapts.

7. Suspension and Comfort: Sporty Yet City-Ready

Let’s not lie, performance bikes usually come with stiff suspension. But the F77 has found a neat balance.

The 41 mm upside-down telescopic fork at the front and monoshock at the rear are preload adjustable. This means whether you’re light, heavy, solo, or with a pillion, you can tweak it to your liking.

It absorbs regular potholes well. Doesn’t throw you off on bad roads. And at the same time, it doesn’t feel floaty at high speeds.
If you’re used to sportbikes, you’ll find the F77 more forgiving on your spine.

8. Battery Life and Charging: Practicality Meets Range

Let’s face it. Every potential electric bike buyer asks, “What if I run out of battery mid-way?”

Here’s the good news.

The F77 SuperStreet packs a 10.3 kWh SRB10 battery with a range of up to 323 km on a full charge. That’s not theoretical. That’s real-world riding, mixed usage.

Even if you’re riding hard in Ballistic mode, expect over 150-180 km easily.

With the Boost Charger, you can go from 20% to 80% in just 2.5 hours. So, charge it while you’re at work, or during lunch, and you’re good to go.

And the battery comes with a jaw-dropping 8-year or 8,00,000 km warranty. That’s more than most people ride in a decade.

9. The Mobile App and Connectivity: Control in Your Pocket

You can connect your bike to your smartphone using the Ultraviolette app. Through the app, you get:

  • Battery alerts
  • Ride analytics
  • Anti-theft tracking
  • Navigation assist
  • Call and message controls on the display
  • Service alerts
  • Software updates over the air

It turns your bike into a smart gadget. And it genuinely helps in daily riding, especially if you’re serious about performance and care.

10. Who Is the F77 MACH 2 For?

Think of the F77 MACH 2 as the evolved beast. It shares the same design DNA but comes with slightly more aggressive tuning, updated software handling, and track-focused refinements. If you want more punch, crisper throttle, and tighter handling, MACH 2 is the one to try.

Both bikes feel premium. Both deliver crazy torque. But the MACH 2 just feels more alive if you’re an enthusiast-level rider.

What Happens After That First Ride?

You’ll smile. You’ll keep thinking about the silence, the power, the feel, and the stares you got.

Most riders come back from their first F77 ride with a single question – Why didn’t I switch to electric earlier?

It doesn’t feel like a compromise. It doesn’t feel like a downgrade. If anything, it feels like a serious upgrade to a more refined, futuristic riding experience.

You get speed, comfort, tech, and sustainability, all in one package.
