Ultraviolette unveils smart helmet and global line-up at EICMA 2025

After the national launch and ongoing deliveries of the X-47 Crossover across India for the Bengaluru-based firm, Ultraviolette, at EICMA 2025 in Milan, Italy, presented its entire product portfolio and simultaneously disclosed a pioneering collaboration with Cardo Systems where both companies will jointly develop new solutions for both Indian and international markets, clubbing safety and connectivity under Phase 1 of Ultraviolette’s “Connected Rider Ecosystem”. 

With this announcement the new helmet, the UV Crossfade, with its carbon-fibre-shell marks Ultraviolette’s entry into the world of connected-riding solutions. The F77 MACH 2, F77 SuperStreet and the X-47 Crossover will be the first models to sync with it, followed by a phased rollout across the entire product range. 

Combining Cardo’s mesh network technology with Ultraviolette’s smart systems, the helmet enables real-time rider-to-rider, rider-group and rider-vehicle connectivity, building on Cardo’s established communication foundation with advanced motorcycle integration. 

An important feature is the Dynamic Alert Sequencing (D.A.S) software suite, designed to read, assess and allocate alerts in real time while riding. When connected to a local mesh or engaged in phone calls, D.A.S can prioritise incoming motorcycle notifications and send them to the rider’s connected Cardo unit. 

In terms of construction, the UV Crossfade features a carbon-fibre outer shell paired with fibreglass inner layers, yielding a lightweight build of approximately 1,380 g. It is compliant with the ECE 22.06 global standard and subject to DoT and ISI certifications — signalling its intention to meet both Indian and European safety norms.

Narayan Subramaniam, Co-founder & CEO of Ultraviolette, remarked, “At Ultraviolette, we aim to make mobility progressively more intelligent through the seamless integration of technology and design. We don’t just build vehicles, we craft experiences that elevate and redefine the future of mobility. The launch of the UV Crossfade Carbon-fibre helmet represents the beginning of a new era of advanced connect between the rider and the machine to enhance safety, awareness, and the overall ride experience. The UV Crossfade helmet not only enhances safety with uncompromising material engineering but can also communicates with the Ultraviolette motorcycles including giving the rider real time alerts from the UV Hypersense radar systems on the X-47. Our partnership with Cardo Systems is an important part of this journey, bringing advanced communication technology into our connected rider ecosystem. At EICMA, we also showcased our comprehensive global product portfolio including motorcycles and scooters; the X-47, the world’s first motorcycle with radar as standard and our upcoming products, the Tesseract and Shockwave. Together, these exemplify Ultraviolette’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of performance, technology, and design, redefining the future of mobility, today.”

Shachar Harari, Vice-President Business Development at Cardo Systems, added, “Our cooperation with Ultraviolette brings a new dimension of connectivity to the world of motorcycles enabling them to interact directly with the Cardo unit, opening a whole new field of opportunities with Blind Spot Detection, Status Alerts and other Advanced Rider Assistance System, featuring the natural next steps.” 

The UV Crossfade is competitively priced at INR 19,900 and will be available for purchase in India, and globally soon.

In unveiling both its helmet and full lineup at EICMA 2025, Ultraviolette has clearly signalled its ambition to operate not just as a premium electric motorcycle maker, but as a mobility-technology pioneer – one that bridges machine, rider and environment with seamless connectivity.
