2014 SEMA WARN ZEON Platinum Winches

[wayoflife]

Released at the 2014 SEMA Show, the all new WARN ZEON Platinum Winch series offers 20% faster line speeds, is twice as durable, has a IP68 waterproof rating and most importantly, an all new advanced wireless remote that eliminates the manual clutch. Check it out...

































Here's the cool wireless remote that is responsible for releasing the clutch, winching your line in and out AND, tells you how hot your winch is, operates all your lights and more!

Really like this. The clutch and light feature is interesting.
Was it warn that had a light bar with a gopro in it?
Edit, I think it was rigid light bar.

Like the idea but prefer a wired controller.

Any idea if the wireless controller will retro to the current zeon? Just bought a zeon 12 and love the controller idea on these new ones.

I like the new Batman-inspired angular designs.

Very clean looking winches.

That wireless remote will not work on older models and no "retro fit" as of yet

I like the new Batman-inspired angular designs.

Batman or Optimus Prime??

What does I gots to do to make this work on my Evo bumper! (The version before they made it compatible)

 

[Wardell]

Nice! I was trying to decide between a CTI 9.5-S or a Zeon 10-S, but this new Platinum winch looks like the best of both and then some.

Idea is great, but I can see some problems. Is there a manual over-ride? What if you havent wheeled in a while, forgot to check, and realize on the trail the remote batteries are dead? Personally, I think I'd want to have manual controls on a winch.

When do you expect to be selling these?

Is there a spare plug for when you forget the fancy remote or it doesn't work? :idontknow:

It appears to come with a cigarette lighter. I think someone at the show had asked a similar question.

I'm with you here. Not only the batteries, but simplicity breeds reliability- and this thing does not look simple! I hope I'm wrong and that it works great- but when I'm hanging off the side of a trail, I'd like to know for a fact that my clutch is engaged!
