Off road rescue video Review: Seems better than harbor freight brand and half the price - I originally had a Badland 12,000 lb Winch and it lasted about two years. When I looked at replacing it, the price was around $600 for the synthetic rope and wireless setup—which just didn’t make sense to me. I took a chance on this winch instead for about half the price, and I’m glad I did. Install was easy (same bolt pattern, bolted right up), and it came with everything—synthetic rope, wireless remotes, and a wired remote. That’s a big win for the price. I’m hard on my equipment—I’m a junk car buyer and I’m winching 3–5 cars onto a trailer every day—so this thing actually gets used. One note: in my pictures, the fairlead (the guide in front of the rope) still says “Badland.” I haven’t swapped that part over yet—just the winch itself. So far, it’s been solid, pulls strong, and does exactly what I need it to do. For the money, this is a much better value. If you’re on the fence—don’t be. This one’s worth it. Review: Strong, Looks clean, reliable? We will see - Great product, Looks strong and versatile mounting options if you extend the wires. Planning to mount the relay box in the engine bay and possibly extending the remote plug to the fender. ## Features - 【 New design and precision manufacturing process 】 XYCLE unique appearance design provides IP68 waterproof, dustproof, and moisture-proof traction winch. The overall winch adopts aviation grade aluminum alloy precision die-casting, which is lightweight and has good heat dissipation performance that ordinary winches cannot possess. The 3-level planetary gears and gear rings are all made of precision cold extruded high-strength alloy steel, with a gear ratio of 280:1 and stable and strong power output. The motor uses all purple copper coils to ensure super strong power output and durability of the motor - 【 Unique Features and Configuration 】 The XYCLE trailer winch clutch adopts a unique pull type design, effectively avoiding the embarrassing situation of ordinary winch clutch not engaging. The off-road winch is equipped with a 9/17 inch synthetic rope with a length of 70FT and high-strength UHMWPE material, which is safer and more secure than the ordinary 3/8 synthetic rope winch. The control box shell is designed with aluminum alloy material for the first time, which can quickly reduce the high temperature of the relay during use, effectively protect your equipment from normal operation, and extend the service life of the equipment - 【 Easy to operate 】 XYCLE 12V 18500LBS winch, equipped with two operation modes: wireless remote control and wired control. Up close, you can enjoy reliability in wired control mode and freedom in wireless control mode.

The installnwss easy and the instructions were good. The unit came with two working remotes and got me out of two mud situations with ease. I wish it came with a cover but other than that this products rivals other 12000 pound winches. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/744948013-18-500-lb-recovery-winch-with-9-17-synthetic-rope](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/744948013-18-500-lb-recovery-winch-with-9-17-synthetic-rope) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
