Ultraviolette, the electric motorcycle maker, based in Bengaluru, will introduce a new naked electric bike tomorrow. The company recently uploaded a teaser with the caption “Let’s Get Naked”—there was
no silhouette, headlamp or any significant visual teasing cues—just the date, a glimpse of the tyre, and those words. This news highlights that their fully-faired F77 and F77 Mach 2 are possibly things of earlier times and underline a focused entry into the naked or streetfighter style motorcycle market.

What “Naked” Means And Why Speculation Is High
In the motorcycle world, the term 'naked' refers to bikes that have minimal body panels showing off the frame and mechanics. Typically, these machines are agile-focused, offering great rider feedback rather than fairings which provide wind protection. Ultraviolette’s recent teaser has led many to believe their next model will carry this naked theme. Previous leaks about their Concept X that was showcased at EICMA 2024 included information such as changes in ergonomics-most likely upright handlebar-an exposed battery pack and probably a new suspension setup and wheels to go with the naked design elements.
Possible Features & What To Watch Out For
Based on leaks and context, here are things to watch:
- Upright handlebars versus otherwise low clip-ons (better comfort).
- Exposed frame and battery design, minimal side fairings or panels.
- TFT display, smartphone connectivity, likely Bluetooth/navigation features as seen in other Ultraviolette patents.
- Lightweight chassis / suspension tuned for urban agility rather than full fairing aerodynamics.

What This Means For Ultraviolette’s Line
This stripped electric vehicle is expected to extend Ultraviolette’s range above its high-performance sport and touring bikes like the F77 variants. It might be considered by those riders who want electric power with more daily usability and visibility rather than just sprightly performance from a sportbike. Whether it takes anything at all from the F77 platform or is an entirely new design remains to be seen. These details will also become clearer with tomorrow’s reveal.
