ZEON XP Winch Lineup – Warn’s Top-Of-The-Line Truck, Jeep, and SUV Self-Recovery Winches

Loved by enthusiasts since 2012, and trusted by OEMs like Ford and Jeep, the WARN ZEON is the gold standard among mid-frame winches. Recently, Warn introduced the new Ultimate Performance ZEON XP. This winch not only has exceptional pulling power and reliability, but is also one of the easiest winches to use thanks to features no other winches have. Let’s look at what makes the ZEON XP line a true standout.

Three Capacities

For starters, the ZEON XP is available in three pulling capacities: 10,000 lb., 12,000 lb. or 14,000 lb. So, whether you’ve got a mid-sized SUV or a big full-sized pickup, there’s a capacity that’s right for your rig. Wondering which capacity is right for you? You can learn how to choose the right winch based on your vehicle’s weight.

Designed, Engineered, and Assembled in The USA

No matter the capacity, ZEON XP winches are designed, engineered, and assembled in Clackamas, OR USA. At our 180,000 sq./ft. Oregon facility, we have 400 employees dedicated to making ZEON XP the ultimate in mid-frame winches. Our product designers put in overtime to ensure this product has the features you want and need. Our engineers sweat the details to make this the smartest and easiest-to-use winch on the planet. Our team of fabricators and assemblers combine best practices and decades of knowledge to build these winches with pride and precision. Having these teams in house means a higher-quality product—something Warn Industries prides itself on.

The Smartest, Easiest-To-Use Winch on the Market

Innovation has always been a core principle at Warn Industries, and we’ve continued that on the ZEON XP, making it the smartest, easiest-to-use winch on the market.

For starters, the winch has a remote clutch that’s operated either wirelessly via the WARN HUB app (for Android or iPhone), or via a button on the corded remote. A remote clutch eliminates the need to walk back to the winch to engage the clutch after rigging, letting you work smarter, not harder. It features a manual clutch lever as well, so you have the option to operate the winch it remotely or manually.

The ZEON XP also has the HUB Wireless Receiver built into the winch. There’s no separate dongle or anything to plug in. Simply download the free WARN HUB App and pair your smartphone to the winch. This allows wireless operation, motor temperature data, load feedback, and more in the palm of your hand.

Even the corded remote has a color-changing LED to provide load info and can engage and operate the clutch.

Durability and Reliability in Spades

With its remote/manual clutch, built-in HUB Wireless Receiver, motor temperature/load feedback, and dynamic lighting, ZEON XP is already at the top of the winching food chain. However, it’s not enough to just have innovative features. We’ve used nearly 80 years of off-road know-how to make this the most durable, reliable winch available.

To add reliability, the winch is IP68 and IP69K waterproof. It’ll work when submerged and can stand up to the rigors of pressure washing. Improved gasketing and O-ring sealing means the water, dust, and gunk stays out, keeping dependability in.

The ZEON XP winches also use durable, black, OEM-grade hardware with excellent corrosion resistance. Plus, the UV-resistant busbar cover meets OEM standards, too. This keeps the winch looking great for years.

ZEON XP is available with Sypudra synthetic rope and a black forged aluminum hawse fairlead. This super-strong winch line is lightweight, easy-to-handle, and durable. It includes a forged hook with clasp and hookstrap, too. It also features a red Nomex heat sleeve around the last layer of rope for heat resistance and so you can see when you’re nearing the rope’s end. The rope is wrapped around a large-diameter aluminum-alloy drum with a patented thru-drum rope attachment point that’s easy to install and very stout. Plus, the drum helps dissipate heat from the best-in-class automatic load-holding cone brake.

These winches use the same high-performance motor as the ZEON XD. It’s powerful and efficient with low amp draw, so it won’t tax your vehicle’s electrical system. It provides no-load line speeds of up to 40 ft/min—the fastest in its class.

World Class Warranty

Like all WARN truck/SUV winches, the ZEON XP has a limited lifetime warranty on mechanical components, and a seven-year warranty on electrical items—the best warranty in the business. Plus, the product is backed by Warn’s U.S.-based team of customer service professionals. And should you need parts, WARN winches are fully serviceable and rebuildable. Plus, no matter where you are, you’ll be backed by Warn Industries’ global service organization.

With nearly 80 years of off-road experience, Warn Industries continues to lead the winch world with its innovative, dependable, and strong winches, and the ZEON XP continues that tradition.
