Ultraviolette launches the X47 Crossover
Ultraviolette is expanding its portfolio with the X47 Crossover, a dual sport adventure bike with a very attractive price tag.
Ultraviolette has dusted off a new bike in India, with the launch of the X47 Crossover, which is claimed to be three bikes in one.
The idea of a duel sport bike is arguably what launched the now vast adventure bike sector. Bikes like the Suzuki DR650S, Honda’s XL470V Transalp, and Kawasaki’s much-loved KLR models all helped riders to get off the road whenever they wanted, with none of the compromises of a lightweight enduro bike.

That is the idea with the X47, a more comfortable and upright riding position, mated to more off-road-ready suspension and tyres, all wrapped up with a slightly more rugged styling package than is found on Ultraviolette’s current range of on-road naked machines. The result is a bike with a 60/40 on/off-road designation.
As you’d expect from the Indian brand, the new bike is extremely tech-heavy. Its maker states this to be the first bike in its segment to feature advanced radar detection. Called Hypersense, a system that provides blind spot detection, lane change assist, and rear collision warning. That final point detects if a vehicle behind is on a collision course and begins to flash the indicators to warn the following vehicle. That system again is said to be a first-in-segment system.
Another system on the new bike is a dash cam, with dual 1080p cameras front and rear, which is backed up by a dual display, meaning the cameras can be viewed while on the bike. That system is on top of the existing TFT, which displays the data you’d expect to see from the cockpit.
Four level TC option to switch off. Two-channel ABS, which is switchable - that is, on top of the regen braking, which in itself is adjustable across nine levels. The bike also features a new feature called Dynamic Stability Control, which allows the ABS and regenerative braking system to talk to each other to help prevent rear locking under heavy braking.
Little was given away about the chassis of the bike during the presentation, although we could see ByBre brakes, which looked to be similar to those found on comparable bikes in the segment. It also wasn’t said who the suspension was built by, although it looked significantly longer than the F77 road-going nakeds.
We can tell you some tech specs about the battery, though, and while the overall hardware is the same as the F77, the battery is much more at home in an ADV machine. For starters, the new bike boasts a maximum claimed range of 323km (around 200 miles), but the most exciting feature for electric riders will be the built-in fast chargers. The system means you no longer have to lug a heavy charger around with you, as instead, what is claimed to be the most “power-dense air-cooled charger ever” is tucked up under the seat. That should open the door to automotive-grade fast chargers up to 1.6kW.
Away from the battery, the new bike packs an A2-friendly 38bhp, while peak torque at the wheel is claimed to be a whopping 610Nm (around 449lb ft). That torque helps the bike get 40mph in a little under three seconds, while 60mph can be reached in a slightly slower 8.1 seconds.
Pricing for the bike was announced, and in India at least, it’s very cheap, coming in at around £2,000 at today’s exchange rate. That is highly unlikely to be the price once it lands in Europe and the UK, though.
Deliveries of the new bike begin in October 2025, with pre-orders opening on the Ultraviolette website at 4 pm on September 23.
