Some motorcycles are built for a city. Some are built for a highway. On 3 November 2026, at EICMA in Milan, Bengaluru-based Ultraviolette Automotive launched a motorcycle built for both — and for the world beyond India. The X-47 Venom, the company’s new electric crossover, has gone on sale in Europe, the second Ultraviolette model to reach European riders after the F77, carrying a brand-new Indian-engineered platform with it.
The Venom is the first motorcycle built on Ultraviolette’s new VX-100 architecture, a 100-volt platform the company says is certified for India and 20 countries in Europe, and engineered from the ground up in India. It is the foundation for a new generation of Ultraviolette products — the Tesseract scooter and the Shockwave motorcycle among them — and it arrives with a simple promise: performance that feels like a petrol motorcycle, with none of the petrol.
Built to go ballistic
At the heart of the Venom is Ultraviolette’s newly developed UV LIGHTFURY motor, producing 30 kW (40 hp) of peak power and 550 Nm of torque at the wheel, the company says. The motorcycle accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds, reaches a top speed of 155 km/h, and, with the larger 11 kWh SRB-11 battery pack, delivers an Indian Driving Cycle (IDC) range of 343 km on a single charge. A 7.5 kWh variant offers 227 km of IDC range. The motorcycle weighs 180 kg, and supports 12 kW DC fast charging alongside a 1.6 kW onboard charger, the company says.
The SRB-11 battery itself is a showcase of Indian engineering. Backed by numerous patents, the company says, it offers up to 20 percent higher energy density, twice the cooling performance and up to 50 percent faster heat dissipation than its predecessor, with six levels of battery safety and a warranty of up to 8,00,000 km or eight years. Switchable dual-channel ABS, four-level traction control, dynamic stability control, ten levels of dynamic regenerative braking and three riding modes — Glide, Combat and Ballistic — complete a package designed to be as reassuring as it is quick.
Radar eyes on the road
Where the Venom truly stands apart is in how it watches the road. Its UV HyperSense system, which the company describes as the world’s first radar intelligence on a two-wheeler in its segment, uses a Generation 6, 77 GHz radar unit monitoring up to around 200 metres behind the motorcycle, tested on Indian roads. It warns the rider about vehicles in the blind spot, about lane changes and overtakes, and about rear collisions — the kind of awareness that, until now, belonged to premium cars.
The cockpit matches that ambition. A 7-inch Qualcomm-powered touchscreen display, water-resistant to IP67, brings onboard navigation and connectivity to the handlebar, while an integrated dual dashcam — front and rear Sony cameras recording in 1080p at 30 frames per second with a 120-degree wide-angle view — captures every ride in crisp detail, the company says. It is a motorcycle that does not just go fast; it pays attention.

From Bengaluru to the world
The European launch follows the Venom’s Indian debut on 22 October 2026, when bookings opened at an introductory price of ₹2.65 lakh (ex-showroom) for the first 5,000 customers, with a list price of ₹3 lakh and deliveries scheduled from November 2026. In Milan, Ultraviolette also unveiled the Tesseract electric maxi-scooter for the European market, powered by a 6 kWh battery delivering 15 kW (20 hp) of peak power, with its Indian launch planned for January 2027.
“With the launch of the X-47 Venom, we are expanding our global portfolio and catering to a new segment of riders,” said Narayan Subramaniam, CEO and co-founder of Ultraviolette. “As we expand our global presence, Ultraviolette is at the forefront of taking Indian engineering, design and innovation to the world.” The F77, he added, marked the company’s first step in bringing its performance, design and technology to riders in Europe — and the Venom is the stride that follows it.
A motorcycle designed and engineered in Bengaluru, certified for 20 European countries, and launched on one of motorcycling’s biggest world stages — the X-47 Venom is Indian engineering riding out to meet the world, and it is only gathering speed.
