Ultraviolette Automotive has showcased the F99 Factory Racing Platform in India, nearly a year after it was globally unveiled at EICMA 2023 last November. Ultraviolette Automotive has followed the theme of ‘Designed in India, Designed for the World’, for the development of its factory racing platform that serves as the test-bed for its upcoming offerings. The F99 has been ideated, designed and engineered from scratch in Bengaluru and the electric bike maker is calling this 'India's first-ever superbike'.

Speaking at the unveiling, Narayan Subramaniam CEO – Ultraviolette Automotive said, “We believe innovation to be a duty and a responsibility to the future of India. For long, we’ve looked to the East and West and used ‘Value Engineering’ as a means to deflect the onus of truly making world-class products in India."

Ultraviolette claims the electric superbike is a first in the industry. The F99 can put out more than double the numbers in terms of power output compared to any other motorcycle produced by an Indian manufacturer. The company calls the F99 an equivalent to a middleweight motorcycle.

Since its debut last year, the F99 Factory Racing Platform has reached the pre-production prototype stage. “With the talent available locally and the focus on design and technology cultivated through upskilling and job creation by start-ups, there is no reason India can’t dream of having a world-class brand in performance motorcycling – to not dream of it, would be a disservice to our generation," added Subramaniam.
