Narayan Subramaniam, the co-founder of Ultraviolette, says the F99 is constructed for “undiluted efficiency”
Ultraviolette Automotive, an electrical two-wheeler start-up primarily based in Bengaluru, made its European debut at EICMA 2023 by unveiling its most formidable venture but – the Ultraviolette F99 race bike. It’s necessary to not confuse the F99 with the motorbike unveiled at Auto Expo 2023 (bearing the identical identify). Narayan Subramaniam, Ultraviolette co-founder, states that it’s a fully-faired motorbike designed to ship “unadulterated and undiluted” efficiency and that it’s significantly extra highly effective, extra responsive, and sooner than the agency’s inaugural street bike, the F77.
A spotlight of EICMA was the F99’s slick tires, lack of mirrors, and no provision for a registration plate holder, which signifies that it’s supposed for monitor use solely. Taking inspiration from fighter jets, it options giant winglets in addition to a signature Ultraviolette mild signature integrated into its headlight housing. There’s a three-tone paint job on the bike, and the rear wheel consists of discs. Along with skinny foam padding for the rider’s seat, a slim, centrally-mounted LED tail mild (with cease lights integrated into the rear winglets), and a extra aggressive, tipped-forward using place, the track-oriented F99’s rider triangle contrasts starkly with that of the F77’s. It’s geared up with an upside-down fork and a monoshock for suspension duties.
Some of the vital options of the motorbike is its liquid-cooled motor, which generates a peak energy output of 120 horsepower (90 kW), which is a big step up from the road-going F77. In comparison with the F77, the F99 manages to clock a high velocity of 265 kmph, making it the quickest electrical two-wheeler from an Indian producer up to now, able to sprinting from 0 to 100 kmph in simply three seconds, almost 5 seconds sooner than its predecessor. The F99 affords a number of benefits over the F77, and that is aided in a nice deal by the weight-saving measures employed, with its carbon fiber bodywork weighing simply 178 kg, which is almost 20 kg lighter than the F77’s base weight. Though there isn’t any phrase as to the kind of battery and cell chemistry used, it seems to be the identical SRB10 pack (10.1 kWh) discovered on the F77, which affords comparable efficiency.
On the F99, Ultraviolette has additionally included a bundle that allows energetic aerodynamics, which is one other first for the corporate. When it comes to the bundle, there are two principal points, the primary being an ‘air windshield’ that makes use of two ducts within the entrance cowl to supply air to a motor that compresses and releases it by vanes by a compressor. To scale back air drag over the rider’s helmet, the airflow is meant to be smoothed out by a ‘barrier of high-velocity air molecules’. The second function is the Air-Blade, an electronically-actuated aspect panel part that adapts to the lean angle achieved throughout cornering to generate a higher degree of downforce.
The beginning-up has introduced that it’s planning to launch the F99 commercially throughout the globe by the 12 months 2025. Though it stays to be seen whether or not Ultraviolette will proceed to develop the F99 as a track-only venture when it’s totally prepared, there isn’t any doubt that the corporate may nicely be introducing a extra road-ready iteration of the F99 as a pure enlargement of its product line-up shortly. It has additionally been confirmed by Ultraviolette that the F77 will likely be launched in Europe through the second quarter of 2024.
