Overview
A sealed motor driving a three stage planetary gear train powers the Superwinch SX winch, with an automatic mechanical brake holding the full load. Synthetic rope runs through an aluminum hawse fairlead, and you control it by wireless or wired remote.
Superwinch builds this model for wet, muddy and night recoveries with full sealing, lights and two remote options. The title and description disagree on rope length, which matters for long pulls.
Who it's for
Trucks and adventure rigs that recover in mud, snow and darkness are the match here. Small UTVs and ATVs need a lighter, lower capacity winch.
Pros and cons
- High pulling capacity
- Fully sealed construction
- Synthetic rope, lighter than steel
- Wireless and wired remotes
- Rope length listed inconsistently
- Mount and bumper sold separately
- Heavy unit to install
Performance notes
Line pull is highest on the first wrap of the drum and drops as rope layers build up. Synthetic rope stores less energy than steel, and the hawse fairlead suits it better than rollers.
