Ultraviolette X47 Venom Explained: Price, 343 km Range, Radar Safety and the VX-100 Technology Behind It

Quick Takeaway: The Ultraviolette X47 Venom is a 30 kW (40 hp) electric crossover motorcycle with a claimed 343 km IDC range (11 kWh pack), 0–100 km/h in 5.9 seconds, 550 Nm rear-wheel torque and a 77 GHz radar safety suite. It starts at ₹2.65 lakh (offer-inclusive, Bengaluru ex-showroom).

Ultraviolette has launched the X47 Venom on its new VX-100 platform. CEO Narayan Subramaniam calls the VX-100 powertrain the technology foundation for the company’s future products, and a fresh ₹813 crore funding round now backs that ambition. This guide covers what a buyer needs to know, with a focus on the technology.

What Is the Ultraviolette X47 Venom?

Ultraviolette describes the X47 Venom as a bike that merges sports-like performance, street-like agility and ADV-like capability. It belongs to the “X series,” with an upright stance, and is built on the VX-100 next-generation 100V platform, which the company says is certified for India and 20 countries in Europe.

Headline numbers: 30 kW (40 hp) peak power, 155 km/h top speed, 550 Nm rear-wheel torque, and 227 km or 343 km IDC range depending on the battery.

How Much Does the X47 Venom Cost in India?

Ultraviolette lists the Venom from ₹2.65 lakh, down from ₹3,00,000, because prices include its Carbon Farewell Fund offer of up to ₹35,000 on the Bengaluru ex-showroom price.

Variant	Battery	Price (offer-inclusive)
X-47	7.5 kWh	from ₹2.65 lakh
X-47+	7.5 kWh	from ₹3.15 lakh
X-47 Recon	11 kWh	from ₹3.75 lakh
X-47 Recon+	11 kWh	from ₹3.99 lakh

On-road prices vary by state and are not published in the sources. Our earlier coverage reported the X47 Crossover at ₹2.49 lakh, so confirm current pricing with a dealer before booking.

How Far Can the X47 Venom Go on a Single Charge?

The 7.5 kWh pack is rated 227 km IDC and the 11 kWh pack 343 km IDC. IDC figures are lab-cycle numbers; the spec sheet’s mode-wise estimates are the better planning guide:

Mode	Consumption	7.5 kWh	11 kWh
Glide	40 Wh/km	188 km	275 km
Combat	52 Wh/km	150 km	220 km
Ballistic	60 Wh/km	131 km	193 km

Range follows Wh/km, so riding style matters, as an Ultraviolette F77 owner found over 1.53 lakh km (read the F77 high-mileage ownership story).

What Technology Powers the VX-100 Platform?

The motor is the UV Lightfury IPSM unit with ride-by-wire throttle, producing 90 Nm at the motor and 550 Nm at the rear wheel. Ride modes are Glide, Combat and Ballistic. Acceleration is 0–60 km/h in 2.7 seconds and 0–100 km/h in 5.9 seconds.

The chassis is a steel trellis frame with an aluminium bulkhead and a cast aluminium sub-frame built to carry heavier loads.

Why Does the SRB-11 Battery Pack Matter?

Ultraviolette calls the 11 kWh SRB-11 the largest battery pack in India, tested for over 40 million km. It cites 25% higher energy density, 2x faster charging and 50% faster cooling for the 100V platform.

Protection is a patented six-level system (mechanical, thermal, electrical, electronic, software and pyro-fuse) inside an all-aluminium, IP67-rated enclosure. The 7.5 kWh SRB-7.5 uses the same 100V design.

How Does UV HyperSense Radar Work?

UV HyperSense is a Gen 6 77 GHz radar that Ultraviolette calls the world’s first on a two-wheeler in its segment. It monitors about 200 metres with a 150° horizontal cone and drives four functions:

• Rear collision warning for fast-closing traffic behind you.
• Lane change assist while moving between lanes.
• Overtake alert for fast-approaching vehicles.
• Blind-spot monitoring, with a zone that widens at highway speed and narrows in city traffic.

Radar is fitted only on the 11 kWh Recon and Recon+ variants.

Which Rider Aids and Safety Features Are Standard?

All variants get Dynamic Stability Control, hill-hold, park assist, a sidestand sensor, an auto-dimming LED headlight and hazard lights. Brakes are a 320 mm front and 230 mm rear disc with BOSCH dual-channel ABS and a four-piston radial front caliper.

Variants differ: traction control is one level on the X-47 and four on the others; switchable mono/dual-channel ABS is on X-47+ and Recon variants; regenerative braking is 3 levels on the X-47 (10 optional) and 10 levels elsewhere. Cruise control is standard on the other three variants and an upgrade on the X-47, per the product page.

How Fast Does the X47 Venom Charge?

The charging port is IEC 62196-6. The spec sheet gives 20–80% times:

Charger	7.5 kWh	11 kWh
Portable (1.3 kW)	3 h 45 min	5 h 30 min
On-board (1.6 kW, X-47+ and Recon+)	3 h 45 min	5 h 30 min
Boost (3 kW)	1 h 50 min	2 h 45 min

What Connected Features Does the Cockpit Offer?

A 7-inch Qualcomm-powered Android touchscreen is IP67 water-resistant, with onboard navigation and a 35W USB-C port. The UV app adds movement alerts, remote lockdown, charge limit, diagnostics, ride analytics and phone-to-bike navigation.

The integrated dashcam records 1080p at 30 fps (Sony IMX307 HDR sensor): front on Recon, front and rear on Recon+. Violette A.I. functions such as crash alert are included on Recon+ and optional on X-47+ and Recon.

Is the X47 Venom Comfortable for Indian Roads?

Seat height is 820 mm, ground clearance 200 mm, wheelbase 1,385 mm, and kerb weight 180 kg (7.5 kWh) or 195 kg (11 kWh). Suspension is a 41 mm upside-down fork and a monoshock, both preload-adjustable, on MRF Revz-AT 03 tyres (110/70 R17 front, 150/60 R17 rear). Ultraviolette stresses an upright posture and long-travel suspension for rider and pillion.

What Warranty Does the X47 Venom Carry?

• UV Care: 3 years/60,000 km battery (standard on 7.5 kWh).
• UV Care+: 5 years/1,00,000 km, included on X-47+, Recon and Recon+.
• UV Care Max: 8 years/8,00,000 km, optional on 11 kWh.
• Vehicle: 3 years/30,000 km.

How Much Can You Save Versus Petrol?

Ultraviolette’s calculator assumes 50 km daily, a 25 kmpl bike, ₹100 petrol, ₹6 per unit power and 40 Wh/km. It estimates ₹365 monthly electricity against ₹6,083 fuel: ₹2,74,480 saved over four years. These are company assumptions, not guarantees.

Who Is Behind Ultraviolette, and Who Is Funding It?

Ultraviolette Automotive Private Limited was founded in 2015 in Bengaluru by Narayan Subramaniam and Niraj Rajmohan. No parent company is named in our sources. TVS Motor Company has been a strategic investor since 2017, alongside Zoho, Lingotto, Qualcomm Ventures and TDK Ventures.

The latest round, announced on 23 September 2026, is about $85 million (reported by Acko Drive as ₹813 crore), led by Yali Capital and TDK Ventures, with participation from adviser Lip-Bu Tan and existing investors. Ultraviolette plans to use it to scale production of the F77, X-47, Tesseract and Shockwave and to develop next-generation global EV platforms. It also targets a US entry in 2027 and a new facility scaling to 500,000 units a year. Earlier funding was about $149 million, so total capital raised is roughly $234 million by our arithmetic.

Which X47 Venom Variant Should You Buy?

• X-47: lowest price, city use.
• X-47+: 10-level regen, on-board charger and navigation.
• Recon: 343 km range and radar.
• Recon+: adds rear dashcam, rear-camera park assist and Violette A.I.

Verdict

The Recon is the strongest case: big battery plus radar. The caveat is that every number here is a claim awaiting independent testing, and Ultraviolette’s delivery record has drawn criticism, so test-ride and confirm timelines before booking.
