When it comes to off-roading and outdoor adventuring, having the right gear can make all the difference.
Warn Industries has just upped the ante with the launch of their new ZEON XC winches. These innovative winches offer all the muscle of the ZEON XD series but in a sleek, low-profile design that makes them incredibly versatile for tighter spaces.
Proudly designed, engineered, and assembled in Clackamas, Oregon, the ZEON XC winches are available in capacities of 10,000, 12,000, and a robust 14,000 lbs., making them perfect for various applications from off-road recovery to pulling heavy loads.
One of the standout features of the ZEON XC is its compact dimension. Its streamlined design allows for easy mounting – whether feet-forward or feet-down – making it adaptable for various vehicle setups. As the manufacturer highlights, these winches are “the most compact, versatile ZEON winch offered.”
What truly sets the ZEON XC apart is its impressive performance capabilities. The winch features a powerful, high-efficiency motor and geartrain combo, capable of delivering a rapid 40 ft/min, the fastest in its class. Warn has packed these winches with premium features, ensuring that size does not compromise functionality.
Equipped with IP68/IP69K waterproof ratings, these winches can withstand the elements, providing exceptional durability even when submerged. The added O-ring sealing enhances this waterproofing ability, ensuring reliable performance in all conditions, from muddy trails to heavy rain.
In terms of design, the ZEON XC includes a corrosion-resistant black-powder-coated finish that not only meets OEM-grade specifications but will also withstand challenging environments. A robust one-piece aluminum-alloy drum reduces rope wear while facilitating optimal heat dissipation, which is crucial during heavy use.
For mounting versatility, the ZEON XC sports an exclusive low-profile control box that sits below the winch’s tie plate, reducing its overall height to just 7.83 inches. Plus, it offers customizable placements with a relocation kit available separately, allowing users to position the control pack precisely where they need it. The winch also includes a durable 12-foot corded remote, which can be extended up to 9 inches from the control pack without any hassle.
War Winches understands that options matter, which is why the ZEON XC comes in eight different configurations. This includes models such as: - ZEON XC 14 (bare drum): 14,000 lbs. single-line pulling capacity. Winch only with ruggedized corded remote. Rope and fairlead sold separately. - ZEON XC 14-S: Equipped with 80′ of 3/8″ Spydura Pro synthetic rope, an Epic hawse fairlead, and ruggedized corded remote. - ZEON XC 12 (bare drum): 12,000 lbs. single-line pulling capacity. Winch only with ruggedized corded remote. Rope and fairlead sold separately.
With all these exceptional features and configurations, the ZEON XC winches are set to revolutionize the winching game for outdoor enthusiasts. These winches stand strong not just in performance but also in versatility, making them must-have gear for anyone who enjoys venturing off the beaten path.
