The Ultraviolette X-47 Venom is now on sale in India, with introductory prices from Rs 2.65 lakh to Rs 4.12 lakh (ex-showroom, Bengaluru). It is the first motorcycle on Ultraviolette’s new VX-100 platform, a 100V architecture the Bengaluru company says will underpin all its future vehicles.
Here is what is confirmed. There are four variants and two battery sizes, 7.5kWh and 11kWh, with claimed IDC ranges of 227km and 343km. Bookings opened on October 22, 2026, and deliveries start in November. The launch prices apply only to the first 5,000 buyers. After that, every variant goes up by Rs 35,000.
So the headline isn’t more power. Peak output is basically unchanged. What changed is weight, range and how long the bike holds its full performance.
What Is the Ultraviolette X-47 Venom?
The X-47 is Ultraviolette‘s crossover motorcycle, built on a steel trellis frame with an 820mm seat, 200mm of ground clearance and a 1,385mm wheelbase. The Venom name marks the switch to VX-100, which brings a new battery, motor and motor controller. The company says all three are lighter, pack more energy and cool down faster.

|---|---|---|---|

There is a Rs 1.47 lakh gap from the cheapest bike to the dearest, so the Rs 2.65 lakh headline only tells part of the story. And the Rs 35,000 increase after 5,000 units is a real deadline. If you’ve already decided, booking early is the only way to lock in these prices.
Battery, Motor and Performance: What Changed?
Every variant gets the same 30kW (40hp) motor, 90Nm of motor torque and a claimed 550Nm at the rear wheel. Top speed is 155kmph, with claimed 0-60kmph in 2.7 seconds and 0-100kmph in 5.9 seconds.
On paper, some numbers went down. Compared with the older X-47 Recon, it makes 0.2hp less, 10Nm less motor torque and 60Nm less wheel torque. Yet the claimed 0-100kmph time is 2.2 seconds quicker. Weight is the likely reason. The base bike now weighs 180kg, 17kg less than before, and the Recon weighs 195kg, 13kg less.1:33 AM
| Spec | Previous X-47 | X-47 Venom (VX-100) |
|---|---|---|
| Battery (base / top) | 7kWh / 10.3kWh | 7.5kWh / 11kWh |
| Claimed IDC range (base / top) | 211km / 323km | 227km / 343km |
| Weight (base / top) | 197kg / 208kg | 180kg / 195kg |
| Rear-wheel torque | 610Nm | 550Nm |
| 0-100kmph (claimed) | 8.1 sec | 5.9 sec |
| Ballistic mode available down to | 30% charge | 10% charge |
| Regen available from | 90% charge | 99% charge |
Watch the last two rows. Ballistic, the fastest mode, used to switch off once the battery fell to 30 percent. Now it stays on until 10 percent, so you get full performance through far more of each charge. Regen also works from 99 percent charge instead of 90, so a freshly charged bike no longer runs downhill with almost no regen.
The 7.5kWh bikes get three regen levels as standard, with ten optional. The 11kWh bikes get ten as standard.
Range and Charging: How Practical Is It?
IDC figures are always generous. Ultraviolette’s own spec sheet shows the 11kWh pack falling from about 343km in Glide mode to roughly 193km in its most demanding estimate. If you live in Ballistic, plan around the lower number.
Charging is slightly slower than before. With the standard 1.3kW portable charger, a 20 to 80 percent top-up on the 11kWh battery takes 5 hours 30 minutes, up from 5 hours. An optional 3kW boost charger brings that under three hours. Launch reports also mention DC fast charging at up to 12kW, but Ultraviolette hasn’t said how many compatible public chargers riders can actually use.
This is a bike you charge overnight at home. No dedicated parking with a power point? Think hard before buying. We covered the wider problem in our report on India’s EV charging reliability gaps, and it applies to bikes as much as cars.
Running cost is where the bike earns back some of its price. As a rough illustration, at a home tariff of Rs 8 per unit, filling the 11kWh pack from empty costs under Rs 100 before charging losses.
Features, Tech and Safety
A 7-inch TFT touchscreen, cruise control and rear-camera park assist are the main additions, though they’re limited to the upper variants. Dual-channel ABS, traction control and hill hold are standard. Higher trims add four traction control levels and an integrated dashcam, and Mappls navigation is part of the package.
The standout is UV Hypersense. A 77GHz rear radar watches traffic up to 200 metres behind and powers blind-spot detection, lane-change assist, overtake alerts and rear-collision warnings. On the base 7.5kWh bike the radar is listed as upgradable rather than fitted, so check the variant sheet before booking.
Warranty and Ownership Considerations
Battery cover is 3 years or 60,000km on the base Venom and 5 years or 1 lakh km on the rest. Resale will hinge on battery health, so the longer cover matters more than it looks on a brochure.
Service reach is the other question. Ultraviolette’s network is far smaller than those of the established petrol brands, so riders outside big cities should ask about service turnaround before paying a deposit.
CarBike Insight Analysis
The X-47 Venom is a sensible update rather than a flashy one. Losing up to 17kg, gaining range and keeping Ballistic until 10 percent fix a real complaint about electric performance bikes. Many of them feel brilliant at full charge and noticeably weaker by evening. This one should hold up far longer.
Our pick is the Venom Recon. The 11kWh battery, ten regen levels and five-year battery cover make it the best-balanced variant. The base bike is tempting at Rs 2.65 lakh, but its smaller pack and shorter warranty limit it for regular highway riders.
Buy now if you have home charging, ride mostly in the city with occasional highway runs, and want to beat the Rs 35,000 increase. Wait if you rely on public charging, live far from a service point, or want independent range tests first.
Open to petrol? The Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z costs noticeably less and refuels in minutes, and the Kawasaki Z300 suits riders who want a familiar badge. Neither offers radar safety or anything close to the Venom’s running costs.
