Meet the new leader in high-performance winching: TALON SERIES.  Designed and Engineered by Superwinch, the TALON raises the bar on what you can expect from your winch.

SealsBill Burke says, "I trust Superwinch"

The best sealed winch in history: that's a fact and a statement they don't make lightly.  You won't find a better sealed winch, period.  From end-to-end,they've sealed this winch from the elements and it meets the IP67 rating for watertightness.  Go ahead; mount it on your yellow submarine. 

Fast

The TALON is the cheetah of the winch world.  Rolling at a blazing 25 feet per minute (fast for a big winch), the TALON sets the mark to beat and does so at a low 75 amp draw (5.2 and 6.0 hp motors).  Did you just hear that?  That's the sound of the competition's jaws dropping.

Solenoid

What's the weakest part of the winch?  Solenoid, right?  Wrong, at least on the new TALON.  The Solenoid on the Superwinch TALON is the industry's most advanced kit, sealed, vented, stabilized and submersible, some say they've gone too far.  Anyone ever told you that?

Superwinch is so gung-ho on our VS4 Solenoid, they've backed with the industry's best warranty: a full 3 years.  And that's on all electronics.

Remote

Think all remotes are the same?  Then you've never met the TALON Ergo Remote.  Designed by Superwinch engineers, this remote is packed with features you won't find anywhere else but Superwinch:

  • LED Flashlight
  • 15' of coiled cord – makes stashing the remote a breeze
  • Soft-touch control for winch-in and winch-out operation
  • Sealed from dust, water, mud.  Meets IP67.

Synthetics

Did you know that an average cast drum will crack and fail under the normal loads with a Synthetic Rope?  That's why you'll find only steel drums that have been specially engineered by Superwinch to handle the unique loads synthetic rope yield on every TALON SERIES winch built (even this one, so you can upgrade in the future). 

We at SuperwinchExperts love synthetic, but only good quality, certified rope.  The stuff others use is junk and we've seen the testing to prove it.  Believe the phrase, "you get what you pay for" when it comes to synthetic rope.  Why risk it?

Superwinch only uses Dyneema certified synthetic rope because testing shows it's the best.  Cutting a corner on a rope?  We believe you deserve better. 

Superwinch further illustrates their knowledge by moving the 100% load holding brake out of the drum, eliminating synthetic rope-damaging heat build up.  Better rope, better design, better engineering; that's Superwinch.

Details

You'll find the beauty of the TALON design in the smallest of details.  Things like:

  • Laser-etched aerodynamic tie bars provide better clearance over the drum
  • Clockable (in 45 degree increments) gearbox meaning you have the flexibility of rotating the freespool knob giving you some freedom.

Covered by a Limited Lifetime Warranty, which includes an industry-first 3-year warranty on all electrical components, the absolute BEST in the INDUSTRY!

 

*Note, the roller fairlead does not attach directly to the winch and requires a mounting bracket as illustrated on page 4 of the Talon Installation Guide; the images are for illustration purposes only.
