Slingshot Celebrates 20th Anniversary with the Introduction of New
Single Speed -- The SingleShot

Grand Rapids, MI ??Since they were first established, Slingshot Bicycle
Company has enjoyed many victories, and played a defining role in many
of those achieved by others. And this year is no exception, in addition
to celebrating their 20 year anniversary, they have also recently
unveiled a new single speed bike, The SingleShot.

Using the same "Sling Power," that all of Slingshot's bikes are best
known for, the Single Shot provides the most efficient use of pedal
energy throughout the entire pedal revolution, allowing you to push a
bigger gear than other single speed bikes, resulting in greater speed
with the same expended energy. What's more, the SingleShot is a folding
bike so it can be taken with you wherever you go!

"The design of Slingshot bikes are very unique, but so are our riders -
they want a bike that offers the convenience of being a folder, but
still offers the agility and speed of a non-folder. When we developed
the SingleShot we kept this in mind, and were able to develop this bike
that allows you to cover more ground at a faster rate without using more
energy," said Marty Alwood, Slingshot Product Manager.

Michigan Pro Scott Quiring knows first hand about the benefits the
SingleShot has to offer. After winning the Whiskey Creek Stage Race on a
SingleShot, he had this to say, "Sling Power - we don't really know what
it is, but it's there. The difference is so noticeable that you don't
need laboratory equipment to detect it."

Established in 1982, Slingshot Bikes have built a solid reputation in
the bicycling industry as the high performance folding bike of choice
with race proven results. Slingshot bikes are manufactured in Grand
Rapids, Michigan. If you are interested in learning more about
Slingshot, or would like to order a bike, please visit
