Polaris Slingshot Sl
The Polaris Slingshot Sl has a top speed of 201 km/h (125 mph — estimated, Polaris does not officially publish a top speed), produces 173 hp and weighs 794 kg. Motoryk rates it 7/10.
Polaris Slingshot은 2015년에 3륜 오토바이로 출시되었으며, 자동차와 오토바이의 특성이 혼합된 야외 주행 경험을 제공하도록 설계되었습니다.SL 트림 레벨에는 기본 모델에 비해 오디오 시스템, 업그레이드된 인테리어, 스포츠 튜닝 서스펜션과 같은 프리미엄 기능이 추가되었습니다.대부분의 미국 주에서 오토바이로 분류되는 것으로 유명하지만 스티어링 휠과 나란히 앉을 수 있는 좌석을 갖추고 있어 오토사이클 부문에서 상당한 관심을 불러일으킨 독특한 틈새 차량입니다.

구매자가 알아야 할 사항
GM Engine Reliability
The SL uses a 2.0L GM Ecotec engine, which is well-proven and widely serviceable at many auto shops — not just Polaris dealers. This makes maintenance costs significantly lower than exotic alternatives.
Watch for Belt Wear
The drive belt is a known wear item and should be inspected regularly, especially on used models. Neglected belts can snap without warning, so always verify replacement history before buying.
Strong Resale Value
Slingshots hold their value unusually well due to limited competition in the 3-wheel autocycle market. The SL trim's added features like audio and upgraded interior make it particularly attractive to resale buyers.

중고 구매자 리뷰
"A genuinely fun weekend toy, but buy with eyes wide open."
$15,000-$28,000 usedLet's get this out of the way first — the Slingshot is not a motorcycle. Polaris calls it an autocycle, and that matters when you're buying used because licensing requirements, insurance, and registration vary wildly by state. That said, it's an absolute riot to drive. The 2.4-liter Ecotec engine pulls hard, the open-air experience is genuinely thrilling, and heads will turn everywhere you go. For the right buyer, it's an experience nothing else quite replicates. On used examples, check the clutch carefully on manual models — they get abused by riders who've never driven stick. The 2020+ refresh with the ProStar 2.0 engine is noticeably better than earlier Ecotec-powered units, so prioritize those. Body panels crack easily and they're expensive to replace, so inspect every panel closely. Electronics can be finicky — test every screen and feature before signing anything. Maintenance costs are higher than most expect, parts availability can be spotty, and resale holds surprisingly well — meaning sellers rarely give these away cheap.
