Pricing and Availability

Introductory Price: ₹2.49 lakh (ex-showroom, Bengaluru) for the first 1,000 bookings.
Standard Price: ₹2.74 lakh (ex-showroom) for the 7.1 kWh variant; pricing for the 10.3 kWh variant to be announced later.

Design and Features

The X47 Crossover blends adventure tourer aesthetics with street-naked functionality, built on the F77 platform with a modified chassis and subframe. Its aviation-inspired design includes:

A tall stance, sharp beak, and large flyscreen.
Hexagonal LED headlamps and a muscular faux tank with extended shrouds.
A double-sided swingarm, floating tail section, and split grab rails.
Optional accessories like hard (32L) or soft (30L) panniers, a top box, knuckle guards, crash protection, and soft luggage for enhanced utility.

A limited-edition X47 Desert Wing variant features a sand-inspired paint scheme and touring-focused accessories for a rugged, adventure-ready look.

Performance and Battery

The X47 Crossover offers two battery options, similar to the F77 series:

7.1 kWh Battery: Certified IDC range of 211 km.
10.3 kWh Battery: Certified IDC range of up to 323 km, delivering 40.2 hp (30 kW) and 100 Nm of torque (610 Nm at the rear wheel).
Performance: 0–60 km/h in 2.7 seconds, 0–100 km/h in 8.1 seconds, and a top speed of 145 km/h.
Charging: Features a 1.6 kW onboard air-cooled charger and a “Parallel Boost Charging” system, which halves charging time.

Groundbreaking Technology

The X47 introduces the UV HyperSense rider assistance suite, powered by a 77 GHz rear-mounted radar with a 200-meter range and a 150-degree horizontal field of view. This makes it the first motorcycle in its price segment to offer:

Blind-Spot Monitoring: Tracks vehicles in blind zones, adjusting dynamically based on speed and orientation.
Lane Change Assist: Enhances confidence during traffic maneuvers.
Overtake Alert: Warns of fast-approaching vehicles.
Rear Collision Warning: Triggers hazard lamps and cluster warnings for approaching vehicles.

Additionally, a dual-camera dashcam system records 1080p video at 30 fps with a 120-degree field of view. A secondary 5-inch TFT display allows footage viewing, supported by 32GB of storage (expandable to 256GB).

Additional Features

Braking: Brembo brakes with Bosch 10th-gen dual-channel ABS.
Suspension: 41 mm inverted front forks and an adjustable rear mono-shock.
Traction Control: Three levels for enhanced control.
Ground Clearance: 200 mm for tackling diverse terrains.
Ergonomics: Upright riding posture for comfort in city and long-distance rides.

Market Positioning

The X47 is priced lower than Ultraviolette’s F77 Mach 2 and Super Street models (starting at ₹2.99 lakh), making it an accessible yet high-tech option for adventure enthusiasts. Its radar and camera systems set a new benchmark for rider safety, while its performance and range make it competitive with petrol-powered motorcycles.

Conclusion

The Ultraviolette X47 Crossover redefines electric motorcycles with its radar-integrated safety systems, versatile design, and robust performance. Priced competitively and packed with industry-first features, it appeals to both urban commuters and adventure riders. With deliveries starting in October 2025, the X47 positions Ultraviolette as a global leader in electric mobility innovation.
