The weight stays largely the same at 207 kg, with the new handlebar adding approximately 0.5 kg.
The F77 Super Street gets an updated headlight design by adding a new cowl, which the company claims improves aerodynamics by 15% compared to the F77 Mach 2. This redesign has also altered the angle of the 5-inch TFT display, enhancing visibility. Apart from these changes, the overall design remains similar to the Mach 2. The F77 Super Street is powered by a 7.1 kWh battery pack paired with a 27kW motor whereas the Recon uses a larger 10.3 kWh battery pack paired with a 30kW motor. The standard variant has a claimed range of 211km and the Recon variant gets a 323km range.

The top-of-the-line Recon variant additionally gets four levels of traction control. The bike also flashes the lights when it’s stationary as a safety feature when the motor is on.
