Ultraviolette F77: Setting Records In India And Asia

The remarkable journey commenced on May 21, 2023, setting out from Chennai. Guiding this extraordinary adventure was Baala Manikandan, who fearlessly navigated treacherous terrains and challenging weather conditions astride his trusty F77 motorcycle. Throughout this expedition, he braved extreme temperatures ranging from scorching +450C to bone-chilling -150C. Over the course of his epic odyssey, he traversed 14 states, all while carrying an additional 55 kg of luggage. The journey reached its triumphant conclusion in Bengaluru on June 12, 2023.

The F77 offers riders three distinct modes: Glide, Combat, and Ballistic, each with its own power and range settings. During the majority of the ride, the Combat mode was primarily utilized. Impressively, Baala's F77 excelled in terms of efficiency, conserving a remarkable 270 litres of petrol compared to what a traditional ICE bike would have consumed on the same journey. This translates into substantial cost savings of over Rs 27,000 while simultaneously reducing CO2 emissions by 645 kg.
