Revolutionizing Racing : Introducing the ULTRAVIOLETTE F99, India's first all electric motorsport bike

Ultraviolette, a Bengaluru-based EV maker, has unveiled the F99 factory racing platform at the 2023 Auto Expo. This concept is highly customizable and intended for track racing only, making it India's first all-electric motorsport oriented machine. The F99 is in tune with the philosophies of aviation design and racing, and gets several upgrades over the road-second F77, which was launched by Ultraviolet in the market last year.

The F99 gets more power from the electric motor than the F77, which was limited to just 30.2kW. The F99 boosts power levels to 50kW or 65 bhp, and Ultraviolet claims the power-packed F99 can hit 200km/h on the track. Other changes come in the form of aerodynamic upgrades in the form of a new faceplate replacing the headlight, winglets on the sides of the bike and aero discs.

The electric racing bike also gets a few additional upgrades, including softer compound tires for the rims, and a more track-oriented rider triangle. The Ultraviolette F99 also gets hydraulic disc brakes with dual-channel ABS from Bosch. The discs are mounted with 4-piston calipers at the front and single-piston calipers at the rear. The F99 also uses a lot of carbon composite bits to help keep the extra weight down, and comes in a dual-tone color job combo of Meteor Gray and Plasma Red.

The company's co-founder and CEO, Narayan Subramaniam, said that the F99 Factory Racing platform has pushed them to think beyond traditional technologies in the EV space today, and they intend to bring the world's most advanced electric vehicles by combining aviation and racing principles. The company is looking forward to continue being leaders in technological innovation in the EV space, and the F99 Factory Racing Platform will follow suit. With the most advanced powertrain architecture and battery technology coming out of India, they want to be at the forefront of innovation globally.
