International Female Ride Day

As women's participation in the Slingshot community has continued to grow, Slingshot continues to celebrate International Female Ride Day (IFRD) to raise awareness and respect for women in the powersports industry, highlighting those who ride and encouraging others to join in the community. IFRD emphasizes the goal of including and encouraging new women to ride while shining a light on the diverse participation of women already engaging in riding. Head on over to your local dealer every May to join their IFRD celebrations.
