2025 Ultraviolette F77 Gen 3 Review: What’s New in terms of Performance and Software

Ultraviolette has been a pinnacle in EV engineering as they are constantly upgrading their performance of F77 with continuous updation in software in order to churn more performance from their e-motorcycle. Ultraviolette has updated the software by introducing their Gen3 Powertrain firmware by providing a new “Ballastic+” mode.

The company claims that this is not just a normal update but has brought a significant boost in performance by tweaking their software through their in-house developed AI, analysing huge information of customer data, and a quest for continuous improvement in their advanced technologies. Let’s delve deeper into the F77’s performance upgrades. 

F77 Gen 3: What’s Added to the Update? 

Firmware-Driven Upgrades: The new Gen 3 firmware update was rolled out on June 22, and this brings a revolutionary update to all the F77 lineup which also includes the Mach 2 and SuperStreet variants. This update can be done through over-the-air delivery and is completely free of cost for all the existing F77 users as the company believes the update is for all and not for selected users. 

Ballistic+ Mode: Prior to the update, The F77 had a ballistic mode, but after upgrading to Gen 3, users get a new Ballistic+ mode that delivers strong yet sharper throttle inputs, thus understanding the behaviour of the user and delivering power accordingly. The torque has also become stronger than before which just ensures that the user extracts the best performance out of the F77.

• The mapping is also refined and gives a connected feel which just makes the connection between the rider and the bike even more strong and this is especially evident when the rider is pushing the bike on a mid-range, especially on twisted ghat sections. 

Smart Software Integration: The bike’s performance is monitored through Ultraviolette’s in-house developed Violette AI, which seamlessly connects and analyzes more than 3,000 data points in real-time and keeps track of every activity of the rider, ranging from throttle inputs and riding patterns, which is important while tuning the firmwares. 

Data-Powered Evolution

While developing this update, Ultraviolette analysed more than 8 million kilometers of riding data from users all over the world. This big data information helped the company to find out key performance areas for the upgrade and also gave a clear picture of thermal behaviour patterns conducted in real-time situations. 

The company optimized the battery cell thermal distribution system and the cooling behaviour of the batteries by extensively utilising the European test track insights which ensure stable high speed performance without affecting the battery life. 

Testing the Gen 3 on the go-kart track reflected a continuous improvement in mid-corner drive and helped in much faster exits as compared to the previous firmware, and what’s impressive about Gen 3 update is that this has been achieved by Ultraviolette without changing the peak power consumption, (30 kW Power; 100 Nm Torque; 155 km/hr top speed). 

Real Time Performance Stats of Gen3 Firmware

However, after analysing the real time performance of the Gen 3, Ultraviolette has brought a series of enhancements in no numbers, but the overall feel of riding the bike, and this was clearly evident while riding the bike as the acceleration felt more linear and smooth than before with strong power coming into the corners with quick reaction times coming from the F77. 

This means that the bike was more eager to roll on just a tap of the throttle, which is a blessing for every performance enthusiast. As the moment you pushed the throttle, inputs were faster, power was more smooth and precise, as if it was coming in a controlled and predictable manner and at the same time it was coming fast which was just adding to the performance of the bike. 

Software Focussed Motorcycling 

What’s surprising is that the changes are more on the software without tapping the original performance of the F77, which is so smart as the company is constantly updating their software in order to utilize the maximum potential of their batteries and motor, and this is a smart shift to software-defined performance, unlike traditional upgrades, where the enhancements is done via code. 

The Ultraviolette CTO also defines the F77 as a smarter machine that has evolved with time by updating its software without tapping the original power source of the machine. 

Firmware Delivery: The software upgrade is applicable for all existing F77 users and can be done remotely, making updates usable for all and is completely free. This approach of Ultraviolette is more consumer-focussed philosophy as they are basically making the bike future ready with time. 

In conclusion, the F77 has not become faster, but more mature and performance-focussed with linear yet stronger acceleration than before with the constant upgrades from customer data and AI enhancements. Ultraviolette delivers performance at the core of EV engineering.
