Ultraviolette Automotive has been India’s most ambitious electric motorcycle startup since its founding in 2015. The F77 established the brand’s credentials — a genuinely performance-oriented electric motorcycle that proved Indian engineering could deliver something beyond basic urban commuters. The X47 Venom is the next chapter: a full-fairing aerodynamic electric superbike that targets the 400-500cc petrol performance segment at Rs 4.55 lakh.
The name Venom refers to the X47 platform’s most performance-focused configuration — full aerodynamic fairing, highest battery specification, and the complete track-focused feature set. At Rs 4.55 lakh, it is significantly more expensive than the Tork Kratos R (Rs 1.89L) or Revolt RV400 (Rs 1.40L) but targets a completely different buyer: the performance motorcycle enthusiast who wants the fastest electric two-wheeler in India.

The Aerodynamic Fairing — What Makes Venom Different
The X47 Venom’s full aerodynamic fairing is not just styling. Ultraviolette’s team has invested significant engineering effort in the fairing design:
- Wind tunnel-tested fairings reduce aerodynamic drag at highway speeds — directly improving range at 80-100 kmph
- Integrated cooling channels route air to the motor and battery for thermal management — critical for sustained performance in Indian summer conditions
- Twin LED headlamp stacks with LED DRL rings — distinctive visual signature
- Winglets at the lower fairing create downforce at speed — improves front-end stability
The practical result: at 100 kmph, the Venom’s range is meaningfully better than an unfaired electric motorcycle of equivalent power. Ultraviolette claims the fairing contributes approximately 12-15% range improvement at highway speeds versus an unfaired equivalent.
250 Nm Torque — The Performance Perspective
250 Nm at the wheel sounds extraordinary but requires context. Electric motors deliver torque instantaneously from 0 RPM. The X47 Venom’s 250 Nm figure is the peak wheel torque — the force the rear tyre receives at maximum motor output. For comparison:
| Vehicle | Torque at Wheel | 0-60 kmph |
| Ultraviolette X47 Venom | 250 Nm (electric, instant) | 2.9 seconds |
| KTM Duke 390 (petrol) | ~150 Nm (estimated at wheel) | ~4.5 seconds |
| Royal Enfield 650 twin | ~130 Nm (wheel estimate) | ~6 seconds |
| Bajaj Pulsar NS200 | ~100 Nm (wheel estimate) | ~5 seconds |
| Kawasaki Ninja 400 | ~180 Nm (wheel estimate) | ~4.2 seconds |
The 2.9-second 0-60 kmph time is genuinely fast — faster than any Indian-spec petrol motorcycle under Rs 5 lakh. The electric motor’s instant torque means there is no waiting for the engine to spin up to its power band — the push is immediate from zero.
4 Riding Modes — Detailed Breakdown
Eco Mode: Power limited to approximately 15 kW, regenerative braking maximised. Real-world range in Eco: approximately 185-200 km. For maximum range touring.
City Mode: 25 kW continuous power, balanced regeneration. Real-world range: 155-170 km. The daily commuter mode.
Sport Mode: 35 kW, sharper throttle response. Real-world range: 130-145 km. Weekend riding, open roads.
Combat Mode: Full 40 kW peak, sharpest throttle, minimal regeneration. Real-world range: 110-125 km. Track day or maximum performance — range is secondary.
X47 Venom vs Key Rivals
| Factor | UV X47 Venom | Ultraviolette F77 Mach 2 | Tork Kratos R | Revolt RV400 |
| Price | Rs 4.55L | Rs 3.79L | Rs 1.89L | Rs 1.40L |
| Peak Power | 40 kW (53.6 HP) | 38 kW | 11 kW | 3.24 kW |
| Torque | 250 Nm | 100 Nm | 38 Nm | N/A |
| 0-60 kmph | 2.9 sec | 2.8 sec | ~6 sec | ~4.5 sec |
| Range (IDC) | 212 km | 307 km (long range) | 120 km | 150 km |
| Top Speed | 155 kmph | 152 kmph | 105 kmph | 85 kmph |
| Fairing | Full aerodynamic | Partial | No | No |
| Target Buyer | Performance enthusiast | Performance + range | Urban daily | Budget EV |
The honest comparison reveals the X47 Venom’s interesting position: it has more peak power than the F77 Mach 2 but significantly less range (212 vs 307 km IDC). The F77 Mach 2’s long-range battery makes it the better all-round touring choice. The Venom is the choice for buyers who prioritise outright performance over range.
Charging — The Practical Reality
The 3 kW onboard charger takes approximately 2.5 hours for 0-80% charge. This is adequate for home overnight charging and reasonably quick for top-up stops. The DC fast charging option is important for longer trips — Ultraviolette’s charging infrastructure is growing but not yet at Tata’s Tata Power EZ Charge scale. For long-distance touring on the X47 Venom, route planning around charging points is essential.

Who Should Buy the X47 Venom?
Perfect buyer: Performance-focused rider who wants the fastest affordable electric motorcycle in India, has home charging, primarily rides within 120-150 km daily range, and appreciates the aerodynamic fairing’s visual and functional benefits.
Not ideal for: Long-distance tourers (F77 Mach 2’s 307 km range is better), budget buyers (Tork Kratos R at Rs 1.89L gives adequate performance at less than half the price), or riders without home charging access.
