KFI AS‑50WX 5000 lb Assault Wide‑Spool Winch Kit – Synthetic Cable – Dash Rocker Switch, Remote & Contactor – ATV / UTV / SxS

OVERVIEW

The KFI AS-50WX delivers heavy-duty recovery and utility towing specifically engineered for UTV and side-by-side operators. This complete winch kit combines a durable synthetic rope and rugged all-metal components to withstand constant exposure to mud, snow, and routine wash-down conditions. Designed to mount on vehicles sharing a standard 3.00" × 6.60" wide four-hole front-end footprint, it provides a rapid, secure installation pathway without requiring extensive fabrication.

ENGINEERING & PERFORMANCE

A 1.22-horsepower permanent-magnet motor drives an 180:1 all-metal planetary gear train to deliver steady torque through every recovery pull. Water-resistant sealed housings protect internal mechanisms during wet operations, while a combined dynamic and mechanical braking system ensures controlled load management without drum slip. Multi-directional fairleads and a heavy-duty electric contactor reduce voltage spikes and guide the line smoothly, giving riders precise control whether operating from a factory-style dash toggle or an extended handheld unit.
