One question we get a lot both online and in person is: What’s the difference between the WARN ZEON and WARN VR EVO winches? At first glance, they do appear similar. They have similar styling, comparable shapes, removable control packs, and the WARN logo is front and center. So what are the differences and similarities?

We’ve written a bit about this in the past and have written a good comparison between ZEON and VR EVO. The ZEON falls into our Premium Series and our VR EVO is in our Standard Duty lineup. There are price, performance, and component differences; both are great winches. But our friends at Northridge 4x4 have taken this a step further and put together this great video that compares and contrasts the ZEON vs. EVO.

Northridge did a great job on the comparo. So now it's up to you. Both the ZEON winches and the VR EVO winches have a lot to offer. No matter which you choose, you'll get a product that Warn Industries stands behind with a limited lifetime warranty and seven-year electrical warranty (North America). The good news is you can't go wrong with either choice.
