Wide if the mount will accept it. You can never have too much rope/cable to get you out of places.

 

Wide; more cable, and it has more cable on the first layer of the drum where the real pulling power is at.

 

Our widespool VIPER MAX and VIPER ELITE winches come with 65' of cable. That is a great feature of the wide versus the narrow.

 

I thought wide-spool wouldn't fit in-board on a RzR ?

 

It won't. You need a bumper that can handle it.

 

Actually Peter, it can fit! I got your 4000lb elite wide spool in board on my xp900 with the EMP mounting plate. It wasn't easy, but it's in there!

 

The wife and I are contemplating selling the Rzr herd we've amassed and getting one 4 seat 1000. It will have a bumper winch. Love my Viper Elite and it doesn't have anything to do with the winch itself, but it took me 5hrs and 200.00 in new tools to install LOL. At one point the neighborhood kids scattered after busted my knuckles and started cursing.

Next one will be a bumper mount wide spool Viper Elite.

 

Totally get it. The RZR install is among the most difficult.

Our EVOLUTION bumper coming out next month will be a slick install and will be one of the few (if not only) bumpers that can handle a 6000lb winch. Here is some further info if you are interested:

 

Thanks guys,,,

I appreciate the info. How big of a jump are we looking at in price on the wide spool? Would a 4000 be enough on an 800-S? I know a lot of people run 3500's on them, but I want a little "room", if you will...

Ranger -- This is actually going to be mounted on a bumper, so I think it should be OK.

MotoAlliance (Peter) -- Can you shoot me a quote on a Viper Max 4000 and 4500 for the wide spools? If it's not a problem, maybe prices for the regulars too? Synthetic rope going to 70726 zip code...

Thanks again....DMAN

 

I will say this I have the Viper elite Widespool on my 900 xp bumper for the last 3 years and used the crap out of it. It has always worked and I will definitely buy another when I get a new rzr some day
