To go along with the new flagship WARN AXON, Warn Industries has also introduced the new WARN VRX line of ATV and UTV winches.


The new WARN VRX ATV and UTV winch lineup are designed with both performance and value in mind. Here is what WARN Industries has to say about the new VRX family:

“The all-new WARN VRX lineup takes performance and value to new levels never before seen in a powersports winch. With VRX, buyers will get a premium product without a premium price.”

WARN VRX 45-S

They key feature for the WARN VRX winches is full IP68 waterproofing, which is designed to keep water and the elements at bay for years of service. The VRX also boasts all-metal construction, along with a gloss-black power-coated finish for corrosion resistance.

Other features include an all-metal three-stage planetary geartrain, powerful motor with fast linespeeds, integrated load-holding brake, and easy-to-turn clutch dial designed based on the WARN 4WD hub lock for easy transitions between freespool and engaged winch modes.

WARN VRX Cutaway

WARN VRX winches offer capacities from 2500 pounds to 4500 pounds, which should suit anything from smaller Utility ATVs up to heavyweight UTVs. And WARN Industries backs up all VRX models with a limited lifetime mechanical warranty and a three-year electrical component warranty.

WARN VRX winches are available in the following configurations:

  • VRX 25: 2,500 lb. (1134 kg) capacity, 50′ of 3/16″ (15m x 4.8mm) steel rope, roller fairlead, zinc-plated hook, handlebar-mounted rocker switch control
