WARN releases the new ZEON winch
« on: October 14, 2012, 06:32:05 PM »
CLACKAMAS, OR - We recently were invited to the unveiling of WARN's newest offering. The Zeon winch series is described as the next generation of winches. The press material uses words like modern rugged design, upgraded internal components, increased performance and durability; all of which are true. However, we were even more struck by the passion and commitment of the company to improve and upgrade a product that already performs head and shoulders above the competition. At the onset of the press conference a literal handful of parts were triumphantly raised into the air and it was proclaimed that this new winch has been redesigned to the extent that only these few parts are shared with previous winch families....

1350 for one with polished fairlead and synthetic cable. Yeah real affordable. Like the design, and everything it claims, but will also take a little fab work to fit existing winch bolt mounting pattern (per article). I think I will hold out for a while.

Those prices in the article are MSRP... I understand the actual pricing will be close to the XD series. So that's actually really good considering how many improvements there are. The symetrical design and larger size may cause headaches when fitting to aftermarket bumpers designed for previous winches.

Just to be clear, the mounting pattern is the same as other WARN winches.
