The essential “how-to” automotive television program swings a leg over the Modern American Musclebike
MINNEAPOLIS — April 29, 2016 — The World Record holding 2017 Victory Motorcycles® Octane® is set to make its television debut Saturday, April 30, at 10 AM CT / 11 AM ET, in the season premiere of Velocity’s Car Fix, the essential “how to” automotive series that features the talented dynamic duo of Lou Santiago and Jared Zimmerman.

In this 30-minute “Car Fix” episode, the guys take a look at what makes the Victory Octane a Modern American Musclebike – the sharp-edge styling, the race-bred V-twin engine producing 104 horsepower and 76 foot-pounds of tire-shredding torque, and the stiff and solid chassis that delivers outstanding power to weight performance in the class. Zimmerman then customizes an Octane and puts it up against Santiago’s Mustang GT. Who will win in the quarter mile?
“Vehicle enthusiasts are familiar with the musclecar formula: take a big motor, shove it into a lightweight chassis, then delete anything that does not contribute to performance – the Victory Octane is the two-wheeled expression of that concept,” says Alex Hultgren, Director of Marketing for Victory Motorcycles. “The guys at ‘Car Fix’ couldn’t have found a better challenger to go up against Lou’s Mustang.”
“Car Fix”, which premieres on Velocity at 10 AM (CT) on April 30 and will encore at 10 AM (CT) on May 1, is produced for the network by Brenton Productions. Learn more about Victory Motorcycles at VictoryMotorcycles.com or follow on Twitter and Facebook.
