The Ultraviolette F77 is an Indian built machine that has been in development for a couple of years now. The bike is claimed to make 34hp and a mind-bending 330 ft-lb of torque – that about double the amount of the new Triumph Rocket 3!
And yes, you guessed it, the F77 is the latest in a long line of electric motorcycles that are fighting for attention. Despite the image looking like a slimmed-down version of the ill-fated Arc Vector project (RIP), the F77 is an all-Indian project, looking to tap into India (and the rest of the world’s) lucrative sub-500cc motorcycle market.
The moody teaser image shown at the top gives us very little to go on in terms of detail – thankfully are American friends at Elektrek have got their digital crayons out and had a go at lightening the image for us.
What appears is a sleek looking naked, with a familiar, KTM Duke style front end arrangement, with a fuel tank and seat unit that all seem to be inspired by our Austrian friends. There is little in the way of spec on the website – they’re making us wait until November for that! Although they do claim the F77 include a 34hp capable of 0-60 km/h in 3.0 seconds. They also state that the diminutive machine will be packing a monstrous 450 Nm (330 lb-ft) of torque. If that’s true it’ll mean this tiddly machine will be putting out around double the amount of torque that the new Triumph Rocket 3 does.
With no details on price or UK/EU availability, we’ve set an alarm for the 13th of November and will bring you more information when we have it.
