SPIRIT LAKE, Iowa–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Polaris Industries Inc. (NYSE:PII) and local public officials gathered

today at Polaris’ Spirit Lake, Iowa manufacturing facility to celebrate

the launch of its Slingshot™ motorcycle into full production.

Slingshot has received significant attention since its introduction to

and riding experience. Now, as Slingshot begins rolling off the

production line, consumers will have the opportunity to experience this

innovative new product for themselves.

“We continue to introduce new, innovative products and technologies that

create opportunities for growth here and around the world. Today, we are

excited to celebrate the revolutionary 3-wheel, Polaris Slingshot into

full production here in Spirit Lake,” said Bennett Morgan, President and

Chief Operating Officer of Polaris.

experience of our customers and then working to exceed those

expectations,” said Brian Hines, Director of Operations at the Spirit

Lake plant. “We could not be happier to produce such a high-quality

vehicle at our Spirit Lake manufacturing facility.”

Initial shipments of Slingshot to Polaris dealers will commence by the

end of this month.

With the production of Slingshot and increased production of other

vehicles, Polaris announced in August it will add 300 jobs to its Iowa

manufacturing facilities.
