Revolutionizing Financing: Octane and Adventure Lifestyle Unveil New Partnership

A New Era in Financing for Powersport Enthusiasts

In an exciting development in the world of powersports, Octane Lending Inc. and Adventure Lifestyle have announced the launch of Adventure Lifestyle Finance. This collaboration aims to enhance the financing experience for both dealers and customers by simplifying the lending process and making it more accessible. With the innovative Captive-as-a-Service program, dealers affiliated with Adventure Lifestyle can now control their own financing operations, ensuring competitive rates and flexible terms for a diverse customer base.

The partnership lays the foundation for a robust network of over 20 Adventure Lifestyle locations throughout the Southeast, empowering them through Octane's advanced loan origination platform and integrated technology. The objective is clear: provide a full-spectrum financing solution tailored to meet the needs of the adventurous spirit. According to Jon Vestal, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Recreational Lending at Octane, "Together, we’re giving dealers the tools they need to best support enthusiasts across Adventure Lifestyle's many locations as we unlock the power of financial products for retailers and consumers."

Enhancing the Customer Journey

The aim of Adventure Lifestyle Finance isn't just to streamline the process for dealers but also to create a hassle-free experience for customers. This innovative solution ensures that from the initial inquiry to the closing of the loan, customers can enjoy a smooth digital buying experience. The in-house lender, Roadrunner Financial, Inc., will underwrite the loans, while Roadrunner Account Services, LLC will manage loan servicing, ensuring a comprehensive support system for customers.

Kris Price, Vice President of Adventure Lifestyle, emphasized the visionary goal behind the collaboration, stating, "At Adventure Lifestyle, we believe that every adventure should be accessible. By partnering with Octane to launch Adventure Lifestyle Finance, we can offer our customers a better buying experience featuring exclusive financing options, making it even easier for them to own their next powersports vehicle."

The Captive-as-a-Service Model

The Captive-as-a-Service offering from Octane is set to radically change how Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and dealership networks operate. It allows these businesses to establish financing mechanisms tailored specifically to their unique needs, without the burdensome process traditionally associated with setting up a captive financing company. With this program, partners gain access to Octane’s extensive risk management and capital market expertise, thus facilitating more agile and responsive service offerings.

Notably, Octane's track record speaks volumes. Since 2019, the company has issued more than $4.7 billion in asset-backed securities (ABS), indicating a robust market presence and a commitment to enhancing the financing landscape within recreational purchases. The recent ABS transactions, including OCTL 2025-1 and OCTL 2025-RVM1, underscore Octane's leading position in this sector and its ability to support dealers and manufacturers alike.

Conclusion: A Leap Forward for Adventure Seekers

The shared vision between Octane and Adventure Lifestyle sets a compelling precedent not only for other powersports dealers but throughout the broader retail landscape. As the partnership evolves, it promises to redefine the buying experience and usher in a new standard for financing adventures. This innovative approach is sure to resonate with powersport enthusiasts across the nation, making owning their dream vehicles more attainable than ever before. Customers eager for adventure can look forward to seamless financing and superior service, heralding a new era of accessibility and enjoyment in the powersport community.
