The Motoalliance Viper Max 3500 lb winch comes with a steel cable and a 9 foot cabled remote. The 3500 lb rating is pretty standard for 2 seat UTVs. Generally speaking you want a winch that is rated for twice your vehicle's weight. The heavier the rating, the the more expensive it is and the right rating for your vehicle varies depending on your vehicle's weight and riding situations. The Viper Max series winches offer great value and reliability with their high quality components, competitive price, and limited lifetime warranty. The Viper Max winches differ from the Elite in that they come standard with a steel cable and they use a different grease that is not as viscous and therefore does not perform as well as extreme temperatures. Basically if you go into really deep stuff and use your winch every single time out, go with the Viper Elite series, if you are a weekend warrior and just like to have fun, but don't use it every time, the Viper Max 3500 lb. winch will be perfect for you.
