Revolt RVX: What’s new?

The RVX gets a mid-mounter motor with 5.3kW of peak output

Powering the RVX is a new mid-drive permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) rated at 4kW, with a peak output of 5.3kW. Revolt claims the motorcycle produces up to 230Nm of torque at the rear wheel, accelerates from 0-40kph in 3.9 seconds and has a top speed of 90kph in Boost mode.

The motor draws power from a 3.24kWh removable NMC battery pack, which is claimed to deliver an IDC-certified range of 160km on a single charge. Using a fast charger, the battery can be charged from 0 to 80 percent in 80 minutes. 

The RVX is suspended on a USD fork and a rear monoshock. It comes equipped with a new 3.5-inch IP67-rated PMVA display with Bluetooth connectivity, telematics and over-the-air updates. The RVX gets three riding modes – Eco, Normal and Sport. It also features a Boost mode, accessible via the mode selector, which briefly unlocks the motor and battery’s full performance for a claimed surge in acceleration. Boost mode is available only when the motor conditions permit, and the motorcycle automatically reverts to Sport mode once it can no longer be sustained.

Other features include geo-fencing, call and message notifications, hill-hold assist, reverse mode, walk assist, an immobiliser and vehicle locator. The RVX will be available in Pearl Black, Electric Blue and Eclipse Red colours.

The RVX has been launched at an introductory price of Rs 1.30 lakh (ex-showroom, exclusive of applicable PM E-DRIVE incentives) and will be sold through Revolt’s network of more than 200 dealerships across India. In Delhi, the company says the motorcycle can be purchased at an effective ex-showroom price of Rs 94,990 after applicable incentives under the state’s EV policy.

At Rs 1,30 lakh, the RVX is priced almost identically to the recently launched Oben Rorr EVO, which starts at Rs 1.25 lakh (ex-showroom). Within Revolt’s own line-up, the RVX sits above the RV BlazeX (Rs 1.20 lakh) but below the RV400 BRZ (Rs 1.30 lakh) and the RV400 (Rs 1.40 lakh), while the RV1 and RV1+ remain the brand’s entry-level offerings.
