Ultraviolette has been on a roll lately. They have been expanding their footprint throughout the country with their experience centres now open in many major cities. Continuing this, they have launched the Ultraviolette F77 SuperStreet. We rode the F77 Mach 2 not too long ago and came away impressed. The Ultraviolette F77 SuperStreet is geared more towards the street, as the name suggests. To that end, they have used the base of the F77 Mach 2, made some changes, and now it seems to be ready for the daily grind. Does it make a difference? We flew to Bangalore to find out. 

We will take some time out to rewind to the F77 Mach 2 as the SuperStreet is built upon it. We still remember riding the thing and the experience was unlike any other motorcycle. Especially in the Ballistic mode, it lived up to the name of this particular mode. The design too was quite futuristic. It looked sleek and aggressive and had the mettle to back up its sporty looks. We also had it with us for a longer time as we got one in Delhi. Living with it, we found out that it was a pretty good road bike except for the slightly aggressive riding stance that takes its toll on longer runs. 

With the F77 SuperStreet, Ultraviolette aims to fix just that. The handlebar has been raised slightly which makes the riding posture more relaxed and therefore, more comfortable over longer distances or even daily riding. An aggressive rider’s triangle puts a lot of weight on the wrists in stop-and-go traffic but with the more upright riding stance, the F77 SuperStreet feels much easier to live with. This goes on to show Ultraviolette’s dedication and awareness towards the needs of the motorcycling community.

The result of the third collaboration between xBhp and Axor, the iNineteen builds upon the qualities of the Axor Apex helmet augmented by stunning graphics and a beautiful message for the younger generation.

In terms of the design, the F77 SuperStreet is pretty much identical to the F77 Mach 2 except for the raised handlebars. Under the skin too, the F77 SuperStreet is similar to the Mach 2. So the F77 SuperStreet gets a 10.3 kWh battery pack with a power output of 40.2 hp and 100 Nm of torque. It can do 0-60 km/h in just 2.8 seconds and 0-100 km/h in around 7.7 seconds. Also, it is claimed to have a top speed of 155 km/h and an IDC range of 323 km. 

Overall, the riding experience of the F77 SuperStreet felt very similar to the F77 Mach 2 which you can read about here. The acceleration remains phenomenal and though we did not get to verify the top speed claims thanks to the limitations of the proving ground, we can tell that it may have no difficulty getting up to over 150 kays an hour. As before, Ballistic mode was the most engaging one and we set engine braking a little higher as well to help in shedding speed at the racetrack. 

Now for the change, the riding stance actually made a difference as we could tell that there was less weight on the wrists. Though we spent most of our time on the racetrack where we would have liked the Mach 2 better, the SuperStreet was not too different. Despite that, we believe that it would make a significant difference on regular roads. While we tested the F77 SuperStreet on the racetrack, we tried to gauge how it would fare on public roads. The handlebar made a real difference as we could tell during the deceleration phases. They have also added a wind deflector to make things even more comfortable. 

Now, the question is… why did it take Ultraviolette so long to do which riders get done on their ICE motorcycles all the time? If you think about it, a lot of people get their handlebars raised to make their motorcycles more comfortable. The answer to that question is the way the cluster and the wiring are set up on the F77. On this particular motorcycle, it was not as simple as retrofitting a raised single-piece handlebar. So it took a bit of work on the brand’s end to get it done reliably and we are glad that they did. 

As was the case with the Mach 2, the F77 SuperStreet is available in two variants; the F77 SuperStreet and F77 SuperStreet Recon. The colour options available at the moment are; Turbo Red, Afterburner  Yellow, Stellar White and Cosmic Black. Ultraviolette also announced a whole range of accessories, now available to all customers. These include Aero Discs, Tank Grips, Lever Guards,  TPMS, Puncture Kit, Screen Guard, Top Box, Soft Panniers, Hard Panniers, and a Type 2 Charging  Interface.

We have said this before and we have said it again that Ultraviolette has their work cut out for them going up against manufacturers that have been around for decades more. Yet, the pace at which they have been going is commendable. From the Mach 2 to the F99 (it became India’s fastest motorcycle clocking 258 km/h), they are doing all the right things. 

Developed with insights from national champions, the BBG Racing Suit was the perfect companion for this track outing of ours and it has everything we can ask for; comfort, protection, and lots of style.

The introductory price of the base model starts at INR 2.99 lacs (Ex-Showroom) and bookings are open all over India with deliveries commencing in March 2025. As for a verdict for the F77 SuperStreet, it remains the same as the Mach 2– a stellar motorcycle at a killer price and now, it is more approachable than ever.
