The powersports giant Polaris moves from snow, slush and off road directly onto the pavement with its cool three wheeled motorcycle 2015 Polaris Slingshot.
The 2015 Polaris Slingshot is a cross between Ariel Atom and Campagna T-Rex. Built by a Minnesota-based business famous for its ATVs, this vehicle is ideal for weekend travel to mountains.
Technically 2015 Polaris Slingshot is a motorcycle. But it is not like any motorcycle. It has two wheels upfront and one wheel in the rear.
Even though this hotrod two-seater appears like a car at first glance, it is not a car. In fact this has its own advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the vehicle could forgo unnecessary car equipment when it was being built.
The disadvantage is that you need to wear a helmet. This motorcycle has an open cockpit and angular polymer body panels that define a low, wedge-shaped profile. The bodywork hangs on a tubular steel frame, dressing the motorbike without attempting to conceal its skeleton.
Slingshot has three headlights, a lower air splitter and two big car-like wheels connected to the power assisted rack and pinion steering with double wishbone suspension, coil over springs and a sway bar.
This amazing carbon fiber shelled three-wheeler weighs around 1,725 pounds. It is powered by a 2.4 liter EcoTec engine pumping out 176 hp. It puts those ponies down through a 5-speed manual transmission.
You can choose between two options. Both offer standard features like electric power steering, ABS, traction control and electronic stability control. The base model of this vehicle will start at $19,999. Not a bad deal.
