Bengaluru, India, June 9, 2026: Indian electric motorcycle manufacturer Ultraviolette Automotive has achieved a landmark feat in global motorcycling by becoming the first Indian production motorcycle manufacturer to successfully complete a lap of the legendary Isle of Man TT Mountain Circuit, one of the world’s most challenging and iconic motorcycle courses.

The historic achievement was accomplished on June 6, 2026, when multiple Ultraviolette F77 MACH 2 electric motorcycles completed a full lap of the renowned 37.72-mile (60.72 km) Mountain Course. The motorcycles were ridden by former Isle of Man TT race winner James Hillier, actor and motorcycle enthusiast Ranvijay Singha, and multiple-time national champion Abhishek Vasudev.

The accomplishment has been officially recognized by both the Asia Book of Records and the India Book of Records, further cementing its significance in Indian motorsport and automotive history.

Historic Achievement for Indian Electric Mobility

The successful completion of the Isle of Man TT Mountain Course represents a major milestone not only for Ultraviolette but also for India’s rapidly evolving electric vehicle industry. Widely regarded as one of the most demanding motorcycle circuits in the world, the Mountain Course has long served as a benchmark for engineering excellence, performance, and reliability.

By conquering the iconic circuit, the Ultraviolette F77 MACH 2 has demonstrated the growing capabilities of Indian-engineered electric motorcycles on a global stage, highlighting the technological maturity and performance potential of modern electric mobility solutions.

Speaking on the achievement, Narayan Subramaniam, CEO and Co-founder of Ultraviolette, described the accomplishment as a proud moment for Indian engineering.

“Completing a lap of the Isle of Man TT Mountain Course with the F77s is a significant milestone for Ultraviolette and a proud moment for Indian design and engineering. It demonstrates how far electric motorcycle technology has evolved and reinforces our belief that high-performance electric mobility can compete on the world’s most demanding stages,” he said.

Subramaniam also highlighted the historical significance of electric racing at the Isle of Man TT, referencing the pioneering TT Zero category.

“For decades, the Isle of Man TT has been where motorcycle technology is tested, proven, and celebrated. The TT Zero class was ahead of its time and showed the world that electric motorcycles could be more than an alternative; they could be genuinely exciting, competitive, and capable. Today, electric motorcycles have reached an entirely new level of capability, and we would love to see electric racing return to the Isle of Man TT and continue driving the next chapter of motorcycle innovation,” he added.
