New Paint & Graphics + Updates to Wheels & Audio + The Return of ROUSH
Distinguished by those who seek attention and relish in its unparalleled on-road escapades, the Polaris Slingshot stands alone in its category. Boasting an open cockpit, three-wheel design, and a distinctive, head-turning aesthetic, the Slingshot stands as the quintessential canvas for self-expression. It attracts a diverse community of riders who embrace individuality and dare to be different.
The familiarity of an automotive-like driving experience makes the Slingshot an exhilarating and accessible choice for newcomers to powersports. Surprisingly, 85% of the 2023 Slingshot customers were first-time Polaris product owners, showcasing the broad appeal that extends beyond traditional powersports enthusiasts. Notably, the 2023 Slingshot ownership demographic was twice as likely to be multicultural (non-white) and featured a 90% increase in female ownership compared to other Polaris brands.
Chris Sergeant, Vice President of Polaris Slingshot, reflects on the brand’s journey, stating, “We designed and developed the first Slingshot with a spirit of innovation and a drive to create something unlike anything else in the marketplace. Over the past several years, it’s been incredible to grow Slingshot into a true lifestyle brand.”
For the 2024 model year, Polaris introduces thoughtful refinements and striking graphics across its five-model autocycle lineup, available with both manual and AutoDrive transmissions.

Polaris elevates the visual impact with a wide array of premium paint options and graphics packages for the 2024 lineup.

Recognizing that driving a Slingshot engages all the senses, the 2024 Slingshot introduces an enhanced Stage 2 Audio Package. Boasting a booming 200-watts with new Rockford Fosgate integrated speakers, the system features speakers built into the side kick panels within the cockpit, along with an adjustment to dash tweeters for amplified sound. Standard on 2024 SL and above models, it is also added to S models with RIDE COMMAND.

Making a triumphant return, the Slingshot ROUSH® Edition combines head-turning looks with a performance-oriented lifestyle.
