Polaris Industries Inc. (NYSE:PII), celebrating 60 Years of Innovation, today announced that its awe-inspiring new 2015 Polaris Slingshot™ three-wheeled roadster will make an appearance at this weekend’s Progressive International Motorcycle Show (IMS) in New York City. You can find Slingshot in Booth #661 at the Javits Center beginning Friday at 1 p.m. and running through Sunday at 5 p.m.

2015 Polaris Slingshot & Slingshot SL Overview
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 horsepower, 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™ can also be personalized with premium accessories that are designed for your vehicle: larger tires with forged aluminum wheels, media console, windscreens, and vehicle covers.

Slingshot is available in a “Titanium Metallic” paint scheme and features cast aluminum 17 inch wheels upfront and an 18 inch wheel in the rear. Slingshot SL is offered in “Slingshot Red Pearl” and comes equipped with 18 inch wheels in front and a monster 20 inch rear wheel – all in forged aluminum. The SL model also includes a windscreen, integrated backup camera, and a six-speaker Bluetooth-enabled audio system — all of which are available as upgrade options on the base Slingshot model.

“We are pleased to share Slingshot’s unique styling and its head turning exhilaration with motorcycle enthusiasts in the New York area this weekend,” said Mike Jonikas, VP for Slingshot. “With its open-air cockpit, Slingshot delivers a 360 degree rush of sights, sounds, and smell that motorcyclists crave, while its three-wheel stance and side-by-side seating offer an entirely new driving experience. This awesome roadster makes you want to charge every corner, and never look back.”
