Ultraviolette F99 Electric Motorcycle Marks India Debut; Claims 265km/h Top Speed

Ultraviolette has introduced the F99 Factory Racing Platform in India, with plans to set two records soon using this bike. The first goal is to achieve the highest top speed by an Indian motorcycle, and the second is to set the fastest quarter-mile time by an Indian bike. The F99 Factory Racing Platform, the brand's most powerful electric motorcycle, was initially showcased at EICMA in 2023. The EV was developed at Ultraviolette's R&D center in Bengaluru.

The F99 features a bold and distinctive design, giving it an aggressive appearance. It adorns a red and white bodywork. According to Ultraviollete, the design is inspired by supersonic jets, which is evident in the presence of winglets and air ducts integrated into the fairing, front cowl, and side panels. Ultraviolette claims that the F99's aerodynamics are key to reaching its remarkable top speed. The F99 Factory Racing Platform features a cutting-edge active aerodynamics system, drawing inspiration from supersonic fighter jets. This system is notably applied to the motorcycle's windshield and front cowl ducts. The windscreen is specifically designed to direct airflow efficiently towards the rider's helmet for improved performance.
