Fresh off the success of the X-47 with its standard radar safety tech, Ultraviolette has dropped a game-changer at CES 2026 in Las Vegas: the Violette AI voice assistant, built in partnership with Soundhound AI. Demoed live on the F77, it lets riders control everything hands-free using simple voice commands — no fumbling with buttons while riding.
Visitors at the showcase saw how easy it was: Just say “Violette” (the wake phrase), and you could switch riding modes, start navigation, or ask for real-time manual info like recommended tyre pressure, service tips, or how-to guides. The demo even showed off cool extras like pre-ride checks, ride stats, proactive alerts, and service reminders — all via voice.
Narayan Subramaniam, CEO & Co-founder, shared: “AI will revolutionise rider safety. As a tech-first mobility company, we’re redefining riding by blending engineering with smart systems. Violette with Soundhound AI makes interactions seamless, intuitive, and future-proof — keeping focus on the road.”
Niraj Rajmohan, CTO & Co-founder, added: “We’ve built tech to connect riders effortlessly with their bikes. AI anticipates needs, simplifies controls, and delivers info safely. Violette boosts confidence, safety, and comfort, creating smarter, human-centric connected mobility.”
How It Works: Helmet-Integrated, Eyes-Free Magic
The Violette AI runs through an audio-integrated helmet, acting as the perfect bridge between you and your bike. No need to glance away — just speak, and get instant responses on controls, diagnostics, and more. It’s all about distraction-free safety and next-level connectivity, raising the bar for motorcycle rider experience.
