The New WARN EVO Winches Mix Head-Turning Color Options With Fresh Features, Class-Leading Performance, & Legendary Reliability

New features include removable armor, colorful armor and badge options, and updated styling, adding to class-leading performance and reliability.

LAS VEGAS, NV — The WARN® VR and VR EVO series of winches has made a name for itself over the past 15 years. Never one to rest on its laurels, Warn Industries has introduced the latest in this winch series. Now simply called EVO, these winches take features buyers loved about the VR EVO and add never-before-seen levels of customization and optional bold color options.

The Evolution of Style and Performance
WARN EVO starts with a proven platform featuring a powerful series-wound motor mated to an all-metal three-stage planetary gear train for fast, smooth, and reliable operation. EVO has the lowest amp draw and fastest line speed under load in its class.

These winches feature IP68 waterproofing to ensure mud, dirt, water, and debris stay out, and reliability stays in. Speaking of reliability, the EVO winches are controlled by an Albright contactor, the most reliable and efficient available way to control a winch.

When it comes to control, EVO gives you options. The included 2-in-1 corded/wireless remote lets users operate the winch using either the corded remote or in wireless mode from up to 50' away. This provides the winch operator more choices and added versatility during the winching process.

These winches are designed, engineered, and tested by WARN engineers in Clackamas, Oregon, and assembled in China using precision manufacturing techniques.

Removable, Customizable Armor, Available In 5 Colors
The WARN EVO winches include a first: removable, customizable armor. The standard die-cast black armor helps protect the winch and dissipate heat for increased efficiency and performance. The armor can also be removed if the winch needs to be mounted in a tight space. Further, the winch's control pack can be relocated, too. This all means increased mounting options, no matter the mounting system or vehicle.

For those looking to add some colorful style to their winch, Warn's optional die-cast armor comes in five different powder-coated colors: gray, blue, green, yellow, or red. This lets buyers customize the winch to match or accessorize with their vehicle.

Additionally, there are optional colored WARN badges to further customize a winch's appearance.

New Features, Three Capacities, Two Rope Choices
The WARN EVO includes a new black forged-steel hook with hookstrap and a new black aluminum fairlead (on winches with synthetic rope) for a sleek, modern style and rugged good looks.

WARN EVO is available in three capacities with a choice of lightweight, easy-to-handle synthetic rope and a hawse fairlead, or with durable steel rope and a roller fairlead. These three capacities are great for smaller SUVs to heavy full-size rigs. Winches include:
