Ultraviolette pushes boundaries yet again with a major update for the F77 electric motorcycle. The new firmware, called the Gen3 Powertrain Firmware, introduces the highly anticipated Ballistic+ ride mode. This upgraded mode enhances acceleration dynamics, delivering sharper and more immediate performance tailored for thrill-seekers. Best of all, this firmware is backward compatible and available for free to all existing F77 owners.
What’s New in the Gen3 Powertrain Firmware?
Drawing insights from over 8 million kilometers of real-world riding data, Ultraviolette’s engineering team, powered by its proprietary Violette A.I., has redefined how the F77 responds to rider inputs. The firmware monitors and processes over 3,000 data points per second, adapting intelligently to both riding behaviors and environmental factors. The result is a significant leap in acceleration capability, while ensuring that the additional power remains precise and usable.
Key improvements include:
- Enhanced Drive System: Comprehensive retuning of the motor, motor controller, and vehicle intelligence unlocks maximum potential from the existing hardware.
- Ballistic+ Ride Mode: A performance layer designed for unparalleled responsiveness, marrying raw power with intelligent delivery. This is not just faster; it’s smarter.
Beyond Performance
The introduction of Ballistic+ comes after Ultraviolette’s earlier update, the MACH 2 phase in 2024, which added advanced safety and assistive features. This included:
- Multi-level Regenerative Braking
- Hill-hold Assist
- Traction Control
- Ultraviolette Dynamic Stability Control (UVDSC)
While MACH 2 prioritized control and safety, Ballistic+ shifts focus to offering a dynamic, exhilarating ride. However, it does so with a thoughtful approach by managing added power intelligently, ensuring a seamless experience across varying terrains and riding scenarios.
The Technology Behind Ballistic+
What sets the Ballistic+ mode apart is its reliance on A.I.-driven adaptability. Violette A.I. actively interprets rider behavior, such as throttle inputs, braking habits, and cornering loads, to deliver peak performance without compromising stability or control. This approach ensures that even in edge-case scenarios, the F77 adapts in real time for an optimized riding experience.
The F77 SuperStreet Legacy Lives On
Earlier in 2024, Ultraviolette introduced the F77 SuperStreet, featuring a massive 10.3 kWh battery. Capable of achieving 0-60 km/h in a blistering 2.8 seconds, and boasting a top speed of 155 km/h, the SuperStreet further cemented Ultraviolette’s name in speed and innovation. It’s available in two variants, Standard and Recon, for riders who demand high performance with cutting-edge technology.
Why This Update Matters
Ultraviolette continues to set a benchmark in the electric motorcycle space with its unwavering focus on innovation, performance, and safety. Updates like the Gen3 firmware reflect the brand’s commitment to delivering more value to its users over time, ensuring every ride feels brand new.
Existing F77 owners can now experience the excitement of Ballistic+ mode at no additional cost. If you’re ready to amplify your riding thrill, make sure to download and install the firmware today!
