Hey All,
Over the weekend I purchased a Stealth Blue 2021 Slingshot R. I previously had a 2019 SL which now has a great new home. After purchase like many of us here I went digging to find changes from the 2019 and 2020 models so here is my list!
1. The battery is now in the front of the slingshot! Under the hood toward the front of the passenger side.
2. The rear sprocket/pulley only has the guardrail on the inside(tire side) and it’s doesn’t have the rail on the outside. At the dealership I noticed that this was only present on the R models and the SL and S pulleys/sprocket both had the guardrails on both sides. Not sure if the 2020 is the same?
3. There is now a battery tender port behind the 12v receptacle between the seats.
4. Tweeters are now on the dashboard
5. There is now a USB port in the phone storage area and another in the glove box
6. CarPlay is present and requires a headset. I purchased a 12v Bluetooth receiver (Anker Roav) plugged it into the 12v in the glove box and circumvented that need. I’ll pull over if I want to chat(or wear my full face helmet) but in the Sling I’m busy escaping Alcatraz burning rubber
7. Suspension feels good but is no longer adjustable
8. Wheels are no longer forged unless you buy the limited edition
Will post more when I dig more
