Just because the Ultraviolette F77 was not designed for enduro doesn’t mean you can’t do enduro on it. That’s what the Indian firm’s new promotional video shows, and in which we can see how the naked sports bike is subjected to all kinds of tricks.
First of all, it should be noted that the Ultraviolette F77 is a naked bike with a clearly sporty design. It has revolutionised the Indian market both for its qualities and for its price, which in some versions is around 4,500 euros. However, this bike has a power, depending on the model, that varies between 36.2 and 40 HP, which allows it to reach 155 km/h in its basic version and exceed 160 km/h in the most advanced version.
But there is more and that is that its range is also set at 211 kilometers, with versions that reach up to 323. And not only that, Ultraviolette, the manufacturers of the Ultraviolette F77, have always wanted to emphasize the technical capabilities of the motorcycle and its sealed batteries, and perhaps that is the reason why they have decided to subject it to this peculiar test.
The Ultraviolette F77 is put through a test that many others would not pass…
They thought that the best way to demonstrate their toughness was to use the bike to do enduro. An enduro that, obviously, is not extreme but in which they have not had many qualms either.
Logically, and due to the physical characteristics of the bike, they have not been able to use it to overcome obstacles, but they have not hesitated to take it into water, the most brutal mud, gravel, puddled roads… and take advantage of the opportunity to show off qualities such as the reverse gear that can help in extreme moments.
Obviously, this is a commercial and, therefore, we do not have data that tell us whether one or several motorcycles have been used, how many attempts were needed or how long the batteries have lasted. But we do see the Ultraviolette F77 plowing through the water for metres and metres, falling into it and then getting back on track as if nothing had happened, and it must be recognised that this is not within the reach of many motorcycles.
