EICMA 2024: Ultraviolette Concept X revealed, previews electric sports tourer
Ultraviolette Automotive has revealed the new Concept X motorcycle at EICMA 2024, a previewing an electric sports tourer. The Ultraviolette Concept X appears to be built on the same platform as the F77 but gets a host of changes to make it more capable of taking on rough roads. The new Concept X is one of the three showcases by the Bengaluru-based electric motorcycle maker at EICMA this year. The brand is also showcasing the F99 Racing Platform and has launched the new F77 Mach 2 in Europe at the annual motorcycle show.
Ultraviolette Concept X: What Is It?
The new Ultraviolette Concept X blends form and function, the company says. The adventure bike concept gets plenty of changes including a more upright and comfortable riding position, a single-piece handlebar, a tall fender, a revised rake, tank extensions and an exposed battery pack with a crash protector. The battery is protected by a belly guard, while there’s a new single-piece seat instead of the split seats seen on the F77 Mach 2. The concept also comes with a revised tail section and is equipped with panniers.

Ultraviolette Concept X Specifications
Ultraviolette has not revealed the specifications of the Concept X but we won’t be surprised it carries the same underpinnings as the F77 Mach 2. The Ultraviolette F77 Mach 2 is powered by a mid-drive motor that develops 40 bhp and 100 Nm of peak torque. The bike packs a 10.3 kWh battery pack on the top Recon variant with 323 km (IDC) of range on a single charge. The bike tips the scales at 197 kg (kerb).
Speaking about the showcases at EICMA 2024, Narayan Subramaniam, Co-founder and CEO of Ultraviolette, said, “Ultraviolette is on a journey to create an extensive lineup of electric vehicles that cater to a global audience.

Today’s showcase at EICMA is yet another statement of our commitment to constantly innovate and disrupt the status quo."

At Ultraviolette, we’re not just focused on developing one product. We are building an entire ecosystem of electric vehicles that cater to different purposes—from urban mobility to racing.
