Refined, Realistic Styling for the Road
Compared to the aggressively styled concept unveiled earlier this year, the design patent reveals several subtle but meaningful changes. Gone are the fork covers and brake lever guards that gave the prototype a more rugged, off-road-focused character. In their place, we see a more conventional telescopic front fork setup, suggesting a shift toward a refined, road-legal package.
Interestingly, the patent sketches exclude basic elements like the headlamp, tail lamp, and turn indicators - essential for street legality. This omission could either imply that the design represents a track-only version or that multiple variants (including off-road and road-focused trims) are being developed simultaneously.
Lightweight Platform, Heavyweight Performance
Built on a brand-new lightweight chassis, the Shockwave is engineered for versatility - equally capable on city streets and rugged terrain. At just 120 kg, the bike is impressively light, aiding both agility and efficiency.
Under the body, lies a 14.5 bhp electric motor, churning out a staggering 505 Nm of peak torque - a figure rarely seen in this segment. This powertrain enables a quick 0-60 km/h sprint in just 2.9 seconds, with a claimed top speed of 120 km/h. The 4kWh battery offers a practical 165 km IDC-certified range, positioning the Shockwave as both a capable commuter and a weekend trail companion.
Rider-Centric Tech
Ultraviolette hasn't held back on rider aids either. The production model is expected to feature:
- Four traction control modes
- Switchable dual-channel ABS
- Six levels of regenerative braking
Such features ensure that riders of all skill levels can extract the best from the machine, whether on tarmac or trails.
Ultraviolette Shockwave: Rugged Hardware
Equipped with 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wire-spoke wheels, the bike wears dual-purpose tyres (90/90 R19 at the front and 110/90 R17 at the rear), indicating its off-road intentions. Colour options at launch will include Cosmic Blackand Frost White, adding a touch of style to its raw performance persona.
Price and Launch Timeline
Ultraviolette has priced the Shockwave competitively at Rs 1.75 lakh (ex-showroom), making it an attractive option for enthusiasts seeking a mix of electric innovation and rugged adventure. The official launch is scheduled for early 2026, by which time the market is expected to heat up with more players - including Hero MotoCorp's Vida - eyeing the electric enduro segment.

Verdict
With the Shockwave, Ultraviolette is looking to carve a niche in the still-nascent but promising space of electric off-roaders. While most electric bikes today are either commuter-centric or sportbike-inspired, the Shockwave attempts to bridge the gap - delivering adrenaline without compromising practicality.
As India's EV landscape continues to evolve, the Shockwave could well be a game-changer, setting the benchmark for electric dual-sport motorcycles in the years to come.
