Smaller, Lighter, Less Expensive, Same Quality Guts: Warn ZEON XC Winches

Warn just expanded its top-shelf winch lineup with a more compact and stripped-down product line. Introducing the Warn ZEON XC line of winches.

Warn ZEON XC

Take the tried-and-true ZEON XD lineup of 10000-, 12,000-, and 14,000-pound capacity winches and make them lower profile and more compact, but with the same guts, and you get the new ZEON XC. A new low-profile control box, as well as removing the armor from the ends of the winch, are the main things that make this new offering smaller and lighter.

All that combines to make it ideal for mounting in tight spaces. It also doesn’t include the HUB Wireless like the other ZEON winches, but a HUB dongle can be added.

The ZEON XC can be optioned with steel or synthetic line, or even come with a naked drum so you can add your own winch line of choice. Steel winch line is only offered on the XC in the ZEON lineup, as all XD and XP winches come standard with synthetic line.

ZEON XP is still the ultimate performance in the Warn line. What makes it different than the XD and new XC winches are the built-in HUB wireless system, dynamic LED lighting, and a remote clutch for full wireless control.
