What Is A Slingshot?

More than 75% of people are within 1 hour of a dealer. You can schedule a test drive or just visit a local dealer.

The Slingshot can be insured by most major providers.

Always wear an approved full-faced helmet whenever operating a Polaris^® Slingshot. Remember to check local requirements around helmets, licensing and safety.

Slingshot comes in two transmission options: Manual and AutoDrive. Check out this page to learn more about the transmission options.

The classification of the Polaris Slingshot® is region-dependent*. The most common classifications are motorcycle, which requires a motorcycle endorsement or license, and autocycle which only requires a drivers’ license**. Visit our license requirements.

The Slingshot is federally classified as a three wheeled motorcycle. Most states classify it as an Autocycle, which means that only a valid driver's license is needed to drive the vehicle. 

The Slingshot provides the exhilaration of open-air motoring and proximity to the road like nothing else - and all without needing to know how to operate a motorcycle. The federal classification as a three wheeled motorcycle means it is not required to meet auto safety standards. Like any motor vehicle, drivers should proceed with caution following all local traffic laws. 

You can rent a Slingshot at several locations through Polaris Adventures. These locations are specifically located for convenient access to some of the best riding you can find.

A new Slingshot starts as low as $37,349. There are lots of available options so you can start with a blank canvas that's ready to run or get yours decked out with Slingshot accessories, and anything else you need for the long haul.

There are many financing options available for the Slingshot, similar to those available to motorcycle and other recreational vehicle owners. Check our Slingshot special offers page for the latest information on rebates, offers and financing.
