The Ultraviolette X-47 Venom is here, priced from ₹2.65 lakh, with a claimed range of up to 343 km. It is the first motorcycle built on the company’s new VX-100 platform, and it brings a lighter build, a rear-facing radar and a 7-inch touchscreen. Big claims for an electric bike. So what do we actually know?
Ultraviolette X-47 Venom Specifications
The biggest news here is the platform. The X-47 Venom is the first bike built on the new VX-100 architecture, so it is not a one-off model. More motorcycles are expected to come on the same platform in future, but which models and when has not been announced yet.
Coming to the features, the new bike gets lower weight, a rear radar and a 7-inch touchscreen. The lower weight is the claim to watch, but the exact kerb weight has not come out yet, so we can’t say how much lighter it actually is. The rear radar is a feature we usually see in cars, and it is still not confirmed what it will do on the bike, whether it gives warnings, helps the rider, or both. The 7-inch touchscreen may look like a small feature, but on an electric bike the screen is where you control almost everything. Navigation and connectivity features on the bike have not been confirmed yet.
Ultraviolette X-47 Venom Price and claimed range
The X-47 Venom price starts at ₹2.65 lakh ex-showroom. It means there will be more than one variant, but the variant-wise prices have not come out yet. So the on-road price of the X-47 Venom will be higher depending on your city.
Coming to the range, the Ultraviolette X-47 Venom has a claimed range of up to 343 km. As every Indian rider knows, the real-world range is always lower than the claimed figure, because the certified range is tested in easy conditions. On the highway, with a pillion and strong wind, you will get less, and this is true for every electric two-wheeler. Still, 343 km is a big number and puts the bike among the longest-range electric bikes. If you ride daily in a metro city, range should not be a worry for you. But if you plan long weekend rides, you should wait for real-world range tests before deciding.
X-47 Venom Battery Capacity
Ultraviolette has not shared many important details of the motorcycle yet. The battery capacity, motor output, top speed, charging time and warranty are still not announced, and there is no information on bookings or delivery timelines either. At ₹2.65 lakh ex-showroom, these are the details every buyer will want to see before deciding. Until Ultraviolette releases the full specifications, we can’t compare the X-47 Venom’s performance with other electric bikes. So if you are interested in the bike, wait for the complete spec sheet and booking details before you make up your mind.
X-47 Competitors in market
At ₹2.65 lakh ex-showroom, this bike is not a budget electric commuter. It is a premium electric bike. Buyers will compare it with the Ola Roadster range and the Revolt RV400, and some will also compare it with petrol performance bikes in the same budget. The bike’s strongest points are its long claimed range, the rear radar and the bigger 7-inch touchscreen. If these features matter to you, the X-47 Venom is worth waiting for, but compare it with its competitors in the showroom once prices and test rides are available.
Who should consider it
If you are a tech-loving rider in a city like Bengaluru or Pune, tired of petrol costs and looking for something better than a basic electric commuter, the X-47 Venom should be on your shortlist. If you live in a Tier-2 town, check the Ultraviolette service network near you first, because the company has not shared any details about service support yet. And if you like to see proof before spending your money, wait for the owner reviews before you book.
The bottom line
Ultraviolette is making a confident move with the X-47 Venom. It gets a new platform, a rear radar that we usually see in cars, and a claimed range of 343 km that will get everyone’s attention. At ₹2.65 lakh ex-showroom, the bike has to prove its price. But it is only a claim until Ultraviolette shares the battery, power and real-world range figures. We’ll reserve judgement until these numbers come out. If these numbers are not strong, it is just an expensive spec sheet. The thing to watch is how soon Ultraviolette launches the second bike on the VX-100 platform. For more updates, you can also visit the Ultraviolette official website.
