Ultraviolette X-47 Review: The Ultraviolette X-47 is becoming a serious challenger in the electric motorcycle scene – and for urban commuters, as well as long-haul miles. In our X-47 review, we take a closer look at various details in the new motorcycle: from its performance capabilities to design elements and more, and give you all the data you need to consider getting your hands on this two-wheeled beast.
Ultraviolette X-47 Design and Aesthetics
The X-47 Ultraviolette houses a sporty design that looks it has traces of adventure bike and street bike integrated into it. The design is marked by a nose-heavy front section, with beak frontal styling; accentuated LED headlamps; and a short windshield that gives the look of a sporty bike.
The muscular yet minimalist bodywork was designed with inspiration taken from the world of aviation, and in particular, the forward-swept wings found on fighter aircraft.
Build Quality
Designed with a durable aluminum subframe, the X-47 is not only sleek but also strong. You see that attention to detail in the fit and finish, although some earlier production models have had issues with panel gaps not being consistent.
Build quality overall is nice; it’s undoubtedly one of the best-looking motorcycles in its class.
Color Options
The X-47 Remix comes in three colours – Turbo Red, Cosmic Black, and Stellar White. Every color highlights the motorcycle’s aggressive silhouette and edgy design, bringing out different elements of its bold character so that you can choose the model that expresses your style.
Ultraviolette X-47 Performance Specifications
Featuring in the core of the Ultraviolette X-47 is a high-powered electric motor. The unerring performance numbers are a veritable testament to its capability. The bike is fitted with a 30kW (40bhp) motor that delivers maximum torque of 610 Nm. This ample torque keeps the X-47 feeling lively and peppy.
Acceleration and Speed
The X-47 is rated at a top speed of 145kph, slower than its predecessor, the F77. But it makes up for that with astonishing acceleration, 0-60km/h from a standing start in just 2.7 seconds. The performance is also in the region of many 250-300cc sporty motorcycles, so it’s pretty fun for enthusiasts.
Ride Modes
Not to be outdone, the bike boasts 3 separate riding modes: Glide, Combat, and Ballistic. And then there is the ride experience for each mode:
- Glide Mode: This mode is for those looking for efficiency, perfect on the streets of urban cities when you’re after maximum range.
- Combat Mode: A good middle of the road that will give you throttle response gains but won’t get crazy.
- Ballistic Mode: The thrill seeker’s dream, with maximum power unleashed for adrenaline-charged riding. It can dramatically cut the total distance, but.
Ultraviolette X-47 Battery and Charging
The X-47 comes with 2 battery options: a 7.1 kWh pack and a larger 10.3 kWh pack. The batteries are offered in a range of 211 km and 323 km, respectively, depending on the Indian Driving Cycle (IDC).

- 502 Charging (home/Fleet): Home: AC-ModeR 1.6kW on-board chargerFleet/Service Centre: DC Fast charging via the Combo charging socket max.
- Fast Charging: Ultraviolette’s Supernova network, which will provide 6 kW and 12 kW fast charging options, thereby minimising downtime.

Handling and Ride Quality
The X-47 stands apart in its handling. With a dry weight of about 208 kg, the motorcycle is deceptively nimble, owing to its great suspension setup. Up front, there’s a 41 mm inverted fork, with travel of 170mm, at the back a mono-shock, and another 170mm of travel.
Stability and Comfort
The X-47 is an exceptional platform for a smooth ride, even at high acceleration. The suspension system also serves to absorb and dampen the roughness of the road, making for a pleasant ride.
Thanks to a high riding position and wide handlebars, the bike is easy to control for zipping around the city, just as it is taking longer rides.
Off-Road Capability
Though more of a city-focused bike, the X-47’s attitude features ensure it is for light off-road use too. 200 mm of ground clearance, along with large, sturdy tyres, can handle mild trails. This makes it a good all-rounder for enthusiasts who revel in a bit of off-road action as well.
