Performance
This fully sealed winch contains parts that help avoid what can be detrimental to its overall performance such as corrosion. It comes with two switches: A dash mounted control switch and a mini-rocker control switch, and it also has a permanent magnet motor with a horsepower of 0.9, which is noticeably slower than the Superwinch 1135220 Fairlead Handlebar Handheld winch, which has a horsepower of 1.6. It only has a 2500 pound pulling capacity while winches around the same price can have double the capacity.
Design
It contains a 3 stage planetary gear train along with a 50 foot steel wire rope and a plow roller fairlead. Unlike the superwinch 1130220 lt3000atv fairlead handlebar winch, it doesn’t come with a mount plate. However, it can use both steel wire rope and synthetic wire rope like the LT3000ATV can. It’s also easy to install and mount, although according to a couple of customer reviews, the instructions for how to install this winch could use more detail.

Value
This warn winch tends to cost over $400, surpassing the smittybilt 97495 xrc winch capacity despite having less features and a slower motor. One factor that can determine the overall price is the quality of the parts of the winch, as just a replacement for the all metal gear housing costs hundreds of dollars at most since it’s a standard for some of the warn winches. The fact that it’s fully sealed, rather than just water-resistant, can also be another factor.
