AJ’s back in the TRAIL TECH shop wrapping up our Project Recon CFMOTO UFORCE 1000 XL build with the addition of heavy-duty bumpers from ThumperFab and a set of VRX Warn winches for the front an rear.
Luke provides a closer and more detailed look at Can-Am’s 101 horsepower 2025 Outlander XMR 1000R featuring the ROTAX 999cc V-twin powerhouse and a bunch of upgrades aimed specifically at the mud-minded offroad enthusiast.
Luke heads to British Columbia, Canada to check out the new 800 and 1000cc Can-Am Outlander models including the triple digit 101hp Outlander XT-P 1000R.
You’ve seen the CFMOTO UFORCE 1000 XL build we’ve been working on this season in the TRAIL TECH shop and one of the accessories we recently added was a rear-mounted Warn VRX 35-S winch to not only assist in getting our machine unstuck, but to aid in the recovery of other vehicles in need.
The Warn VRX 35-S winch provides reliable and durable recovery power when tackling tough terrains. Its features make it especially suited for off-roading, ensuring that your vehicle is equipped to handle challenging situations with ease.
One of its standout features is its 50-feet of lightweight, easy-to-handle 3/16″ synthetic rope. Unlike traditional steel cables, synthetic rope is not only more manageable, it is also safer, as it doesn’t store as much kinetic energy under load reducing the risk of injury if the rope breaks.
The hawse fairlead helps guide the rope smoothly in and out of the winch, preventing wear and tear, while the zinc-plated hook ensures strong and reliable connections during pulls.
With a 3,500-pound capacity, this winch is built to recover UTVs, ATVs, and smaller off-road vehicles with ease, making it versatile for a variety of terrains and conditions. Whether you’re navigating steep inclines, muddy paths, or rocky landscapes, the VRX 35-S provides the pulling power needed to get you out of sticky situations.
Thanks to its IP68 waterproof sealing, which keeps out water, dust, and debris, you’re ensured consistent performance in harsh environments. The semi-gloss black powder-coated finish and stainless steel fasteners enhance the winch’s corrosion resistance, perfect for off-roaders who face mud, water, and other corrosive elements.
The load-holding mechanical brake is an essential safety feature, delivering precise control over heavy loads, while the all-metal 3-stage planetary gear train ensures smooth, reliable operation and its dash-mounted rocker switch allows for easy, convenient operation from the driver’s seat, letting you engage the winch quickly in moments of need.
We’ve rear-mounted our Warn VRX 35-S winch, but it could just as easily operate as a front winch for your ATV or side-x-side, delivering more than enough pulling power to keep you and your riding buddies on the trail longer.
