Polaris celebrated 60 years of innovation by introducing the highly-anticipated Polaris Slingshot, an awe-inspiring 3-wheel roadster that represents the future of on-road driving exhilaration.
Slingshot is a 3-wheeled motorcycle. It is not an automobile, it does not have airbags and it does not meet automotive safety standards.
Slingshot is an entirely new on-road driving and riding experience. The open air cockpit of Slingshot hits you with a 360-degree rush of sight, sound, and smell. With side-by-side seating, both driver and passenger experience a front row shot of adrenaline. Its wide stance and sport-tuned suspension will make you want to charge every corner and never let off.
Slingshot is powered by a 2.4 liter dual-overhead cam engine and a 5-speed manual transmission. It features a high strength steel spaceframe, a lightweight aluminum swingarm and a carbon fiber reinforced drive belt. With a dry weight of less than 1,700 lbs., a very low center of gravity, and an engine that produces 173 hp, Slingshot delivers heart-pounding acceleration and astonishing cornering power. Slingshot has advanced motorcycle features such as electronic stability and traction control, 3-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, LED taillights, forged aluminum roll hoops and 3-point seat belts.
Slingshot is offered in two distinct trim levels. The base Slingshot, with a U.S. MSRP of $19,999, features titanium metallic paint, 17-inch lightweight alloy wheels up front, and an 18-inch wheel in the rear. The premium model called Slingshot SL, with a U.S. MSRP of $23,999, features red pearl paint, larger 18-inch forged aluminum wheels up front and a 20-inch wheel in the rear and a blade windscreen for wind protection. It also features a media console with a 4.3-inch LCD screen, back-up camera, Bluetooth integration and a 6-speaker audio system.
Both trim models will be available this fall at Polaris Slingshot dealerships across the United States and Canada.
