Features, and why each matters

Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.

Chassis

  • Alloy wheels

    Lighter than spoked wheels and they allow tubeless tyres.

  • Rear monoshock

    One central shock instead of twin units; usually better damping on broken roads.

Convenience

  • USB charging port

    Charges the phone on a long commute. Check whether it is Type-A or Type-C.

  • Under-seat storage

    Whether a full-face helmet fits is the question to ask at the showroom.

Electric

  • Fast charging

    Public or home fast charger support cuts a full charge from overnight to an hour or two.

  • Regenerative braking

    Recovers a little charge when slowing and saves brake pads.

  • Hill hold

    Holds the brakes on a slope for a moment so you do not roll back at a signal.

  • Cruise control

    Holds a set speed on open roads. Mostly a highway feature.

  • Over-the-air updates

    Software features and fixes arrive without a service visit.

  • Companion app

    Charge status, location and ride stats on your phone.

Safety and braking

  • Combi-brake (CBS)

    Links the rear brake lever to the front so a rear-only stamp still slows you properly.

  • Tubeless tyres

    A puncture deflates slowly instead of instantly, and roadside repair takes ten minutes.

  • Side-stand engine cut-off

    Engine will not run with the stand down, which prevents a common low-speed crash.

Lighting

  • LED daytime running lamp

    Makes you visible to cars in daylight, when most two-wheeler collisions happen.

  • LED tail lamp

    Lights up instantly, which gives the vehicle behind a fraction more warning.

Console and connectivity

  • Bluetooth connectivity

    Call and message alerts on the console so the phone stays in your pocket.

  • Turn-by-turn navigation

    Directions on the console via the phone app. Saves mounting a phone on the bars.

  • Ride modes

    An Eco map for mileage and a Power map for overtakes, switched from the bars.

Equipment against One, 450 Apex and Aerox E

Against One, 450 Apex or Aerox E, it gets hill hold that most rivals skip.

What it lacks: front disc brake, rear disc brake, hazard lamps and led headlamp, which rivals at this price offer. The safety items in that list matter more than the console.

Ultra specs: questions people ask

Is the Ultra suitable for short riders?
Yes. Seat height is 780 mm, low for the class, so riders around 5'2" and above can reach the ground comfortably.
Does the Ultra have ABS?
No. It uses a combi-brake system (CBS), which is what the rules require under 125cc. There is no ABS variant.
What features does the Ultra have?
18 items across 6 groups, including combi-brake (cbs), tubeless tyres, alloy wheels, side-stand engine cut-off and rear monoshock. Some are variant-specific.
