Ultraviolette X-47 Venom Launched At Rs 2.65 Lakh With VX-100 Platform

Ultraviolette has introduced the new X-47 Venom in the Indian market with an introductory ex-showroom price of Rs 2.65 lakh, valid for the initial 5,000 buyers. Bookings commenced on October 22, and customer handovers are scheduled to begin as early as November 2026. The motorcycle serves as the inaugural production offering built on the company's newly engineered VX-100 100-volt platform. Its international debut is slated for November 3 at EICMA 2026 in Milan, Italy. Regular pricing for the entry-level trim is set at Rs 3 lakh, yielding an introductory discount of Rs 35,000. Reports differ slightly on the battery capacities, with figures noted as 7 kWh and 11 kWh in some details, alongside 7.5 kWh and 11 kWh specifications in others, while IDC range figures vary marginally between 343 km and 345 km.

Platform And Mechanical Upgrades

Underneath the bodywork, the VX-100 platform operates alongside the SRB-11 battery pack and the UV Lightfury electric motor. The X-47 Venom records a kerb weight of 180 kg, reflecting a reduction of approximately 20 kg compared to its predecessor, while ground clearance measures 200 mm and seat height is listed at 820 mm. The manufacturer has also engineered a motor control unit that is twice as compact and delivers triple the power density of the preceding version, alongside a 40% reduction in weight.

The updated Lightfury motor generates 30 kW (around 40 hp or 40 bhp) and outputs 550 Nm of wheel torque, with peak motor torque reported at 90 Nm. Acceleration figures indicate a 0 to 60 km/h time of 2.7 seconds and a 0 to 100 km/h sprint completed in 5.9 seconds, accompanied by a claimed top speed of 155 km/h. The motor utilises Soft Magnetic Composite technology, reducing motor weight by 25 to 30 percent and cutting rare-earth material consumption by 50 percent while targeting lower energy losses.

Battery, Charging, And Performance Modes

The SRB-11 battery pack provides usable capacities of either 7 kWh (or 7.5 kWh) and 11 kWh, delivering an IDC-rated driving range of up to 343 km or 345 km, with the smaller 7.5 kWh pack providing a 227 km range (range for the 7 kWh version remains undetailed). The new battery pack achieves 15% to 25% higher energy density and a 15% reduction in weight, paired with an axial cooling configuration that doubles cooling performance and enhances heat dissipation by up to 50 percent. A 1.6 kW onboard charger is included, and the vehicle supports external DC fast charging up to 12 kW.

Operating parameters for performance features have been expanded, allowing the Ballistic riding mode to function down to a 10% battery state-of-charge instead of the previous 30% limit. Regenerative braking can now engage from 99% charge (or full charge) rather than waiting until below 90%. Safety mechanisms within the battery include a pyro-fuse capable of isolating the circuit within microseconds during critical faults, working alongside a battery management system monitoring cell voltage, temperature, and current, supported by cell-level fuses and an IP67 dust and water resistance rating.

Advanced Safety And Radar Technology

Safety electronics incorporate Ultraviolette's Hypersense suite, which relies on a 77 GHz rear radar unit capable of monitoring traffic up to 200 metres behind the motorcycle. The radar system compensates for roll, pitch, and lean angles up to 20 degrees to power blind-spot monitoring, lane change assistance, overtake alerts, and rear collision warnings. The rear collision function can also activate the hazard lamps as visual alerts are transmitted to the rider through the advanced mirrors, complemented by switchable dual-channel ABS and traction control.

The cockpit features a 7-inch TFT touchscreen designated as UV Interface X, integrated with Mappls navigation, cruise control (which is optional on the base variant), Bluetooth connectivity, and call or SMS alerts. Front and rear dashcams record footage in a loop at 1080p 30 fps, doubling as a rear-camera feed for Park Assist during low-speed manoeuvres. Additionally, Violette A.I. provides Movement Alerts, Fall Alerts, Towing Alerts, Remote Lockdown, Crash Alerts, Delta Watch, and Anti-Collision Warnings, alongside real-time connectivity and companion app support.

Styling, Variants, And Ownership Perks

The motorcycle retains a rugged crossover stance featuring knuckle guards, a tall windvisor, and a sharp side profile across its four distinct colour schemes: Stellar White, Turbo Red, Afterburner Yellow, and Cosmic Black. Alongside the motorcycle, the brand introduced the B-MAX reusable rider safety vest, rated at twice the standard CE safety specification with 86% force attenuation, capable of being reused up to five times. Ultraviolette also offers extendable warranty coverage extending up to 8,00,000 km.

What It Means For Buyers

The arrival of the Ultraviolette X-47 Venom provides electric motorcycle buyers with a significantly lighter machine boasting enhanced power density, extended riding ranges, and advanced rider assistance tech like rear radar and dashcams. With introductory pricing set at Rs 2.65 lakh for early adopters before scaling to Rs 3 lakh, the crossover motorcycle aims to appeal to both daily commuters and weekend riders looking for high-performance EV capabilities.
