Ultraviolette upgrades F77 with Gen3 firmware, introduces ‘Ballistic+' mode
Ultraviolette Automotive has announced a major performance upgrade for its F77 electric motorcycle with the rollout of its Gen3 powertrain firmware, which introduces a new high-performance riding mode called 'Ballistic+'. The update is available free of charge to all existing F77 owners. The upgrade is the result of data gathered from more than eight million kilometres of cumulative customer riding experience, enabling the company to refine motor control algorithms, battery management systems, and dynamic performance tuning. According to Ultraviolette, the Gen3 firmware enhances acceleration, top-end performance, and throttle precision, while also improving energy regeneration and heat management. In-house operating system The Ballistic+ mode is intended for advanced riders seeking sharper throttle response and higher top speeds. It is currently available only on the F77 Recon variant . Ultraviolette's in-house operating system, Violette A.I., played a central role in developing and deploying the update. The OTA (over-the-air) firmware is being pushed out to customers across India and international markets in a phased manner starting this week. The company says the update represents a milestone in its strategy to evolve the F77 as a software-defined motorcycle platform. The move reflects a broader industry trend of enhancing vehicle capabilities post-purchase via firmware improvements. The F77, launched in 2022, is currently available in two variants — standard and Recon. Ultraviolette is also preparing for a global rollout, with launches expected in select international markets later this year.

Battlefield 6 leak: Rumors hint at open class weapon system
(Image via DICE) The Battlefield franchise might be heading into bold new territory. A recent leak suggests that Battlefield 6 could ditch one of its longest-standing mechanics — class-based weapon restrictions. If true, this change could redefine how players approach combat in the next installment. But it's also stirred quite a debate among longtime fans. No More Locked Loadouts? Traditionally, Battlefield games have tied specific weapons to specific classes. Assault classes got rifles, Recon players used snipers, and Support carried LMGs. But if leaks from the Battlefield Labs test environment are to be believed, Battlefield 6 is set to introduce a more flexible system. Rather than locking guns to classes, players may be free to equip any weapon they want, regardless of their role. Want to play Recon but use a shotgun? Go for it. Prefer to be an Assault medic with a sniper? That might soon be possible. New Battlefield 6 Leaks Suggest An Open Beta Coming Soon! Perks Over Restrictions Instead of forcing weapon limitations, the new system reportedly introduces perks to incentivize using a class's 'Signature Weapon.' For example: Recon with sniper rifles : Less scope sway, faster reloads, steadier aim. Assault with assault rifles : Quicker weapon swaps and smoother sprint-to-shoot transitions. So while the freedom is there, players still benefit from sticking to their class's core identity. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cách giao dịch ETH/USD mà không cần nắm giữ Ether IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo This Battlefield 6 Reveal Leak Changes EVERYTHING Custom Progression: Training & Specialization Another rumored feature is a 'Training' system that evolves your class over time. As you play, you'll unlock abilities like Recon players gaining access to area scans via UAVs. This progression system might work in tandem with leaked 'Class Specializations,' giving players more control over how they build their soldier. Fans Are Split — But Nothing's Final As expected, not everyone is thrilled. Some players worry this shift will dilute teamwork, reduce tactical variety, or turn Battlefield into just another shooter. Others welcome the experimentation, hoping it adds replayability and personalization. Worth noting: all of this is still in testing. With Battlefield Labs acting as a sandbox for feedback and iteration, EA could easily pivot back if the open weapon system doesn't land well. With whispers of an open beta on the horizon, fans may soon get hands-on experience to judge for themselves. All eyes are on Battlefield 6 as it continues to evolve in unexpected and potentially game-changing ways.

Could Jeep's rugged EV debut a new off-road-ready transmission?
Stellantis has patented a new three-speed transmission designed to bring its Jeep brand's legendary off-road capability to electric vehicles (EV) without the need for additional motors or equipment. Jeep released its first EV in Australia in 2024 – the urban-friendly Avenger – with the larger Wagoneer S crossover SUV and rugged Recon set for Australia in 2026. It's the latter that appears most likely to receive the new transmission, should it enter production. As reported by Mopar Insiders, Stellantis has been granted a patent for a three-speed transmission bringing low-range, high-range and direct drive gearing to electric powertrains. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. It's designed to replace the single-speed reduction gearboxes found in most EVs in new car showrooms which, in its filing, Stellantis says are "unable to provide sustained high torque for trail and desert driving or various other speeds". With Jeep's 'trail-rated' credentials crucial to its brand image, the new transmission has been designed to offer smarter gearing choices for EVs while hitting the rough stuff, mimicking the low- and high-range gearing found in conventional combustion-powered four-wheel drive off-roaders. The three different gear-sets each look to expand the capability of EVs, most notably tapping into the instant torque characteristic provided by an electric motor – and minimising energy use at other times. The lowest gearing – created to deploy maximum torque – acts like a traditional '4LO' gear and is designed for trail driving, rock crawling and towing. The second gearset is more suited to 'normal' conditions, while the third provides the typical one-to-one ratio and is intended to maximise energy efficiency, battery life and driving range while highway driving. The transmission connects directly to the output shaft of the electric motor and can be used on the front or rear axle, while it can also lock or open a differential for true off-road flexibility. Jeep hasn't made any announcements on which vehicles will use the new transmission, or when we can expect to see it in a production model. The relatively simple, compact design means it could bring benefits beyond Jeep's off-roaders, extending to other Stellantis brands such as Ram trucks. It could also have high performance all-wheel drive applications at Dodge, Chrysler and potentially Alfa Romeo and Maserati – all brands belonging to Stellantis.
