Ultraviolette has put a real date on its next motorcycle. The Shockwave, also called the FUNDURO, will launch in India in the first quarter of 2027, and the company has confirmed it will run on an entirely new 100V electrical architecture.
What 100V Actually Changes
Ultraviolette's existing F77 sports bike runs on a 60V platform. The Shockwave and the upcoming Tesseract scooter, which we've covered as part of the company's broader Rs 779 crore Hosur expansion, will both move to this higher 100V system instead. A higher operating voltage generally supports stronger power transfer with reduced electrical losses, and Ultraviolette is linking the change directly to three real-world benefits: stronger power delivery, better thermal efficiency, and faster charging.
A Confirmed Direction, Not Yet A Full Spec Sheet
Here's what's locked in versus what's still open. Ultraviolette has confirmed the Shockwave will come in both single-seat and dual-seat configurations, and that a dedicated production line is already being set up inside the company's existing manufacturing facility. Co-founder and CEO Narayan Subramaniam confirmed the Shockwave and Tesseract have been developed in parallel over the past year, with work on the Shockwave's production line already underway.
What hasn't been confirmed yet is the final specification sheet. Early powertrain references from 2025 point to 14.5hp and a 4kWh battery, with a claimed 165km range and a 0-60km/h time of 2.9 seconds, and a kerb weight of around 120kg. Ultraviolette has explicitly said it hasn't confirmed whether these numbers hold for the production bike after the switch to 100V architecture — full specifications will come closer to the actual Q1 2027 launch.
The Character Ultraviolette Is Chasing
Unlike the F77, which leans into outright sportbike performance, the Shockwave is positioned as a lightweight, playful motorcycle built around riding feel rather than headline numbers. Ultraviolette describes it as drawing inspiration from the raw, direct character of classic two-stroke motorcycles — a deliberately different personality from the rest of the brand's current lineup.
Subramaniam framed the update around that same idea: "From the outset, we envisioned the Shockwave as a motorcycle that would bring back the pure enjoyment of riding. Bringing our 100V architecture to the Shockwave is an important step in realising that vision."
Why This Fits Ultraviolette's Bigger Production Push
This announcement lines up directly with what we've tracked through Ultraviolette's manufacturing expansion. The company is targeting combined annual production capacity of around 3 lakh vehicles by mid-2027, spread across its existing Bengaluru facility and the upcoming BIGGA Factory in Hosur. Getting the Shockwave's production line running now, more than a year ahead of its actual launch, is consistent with a company that's said its main constraint has been manufacturing capacity, not demand.
What Comes Next
Ultraviolette has said full specifications and further launch details will follow closer to the Q1 2027 introduction. For now, the confirmed pieces are the timeline, the architecture, and the seating configuration — everything else, including final pricing, remains to be announced.
