Overview
Engineered in Australia and refined through real-world use, the Carbon 12K V3X is built to deliver consistent pulling power through mud, sand and steep terrain. A breathable membrane-style motor breather accommodates heat expansion and contraction, while the rotating ring-gear clutch allows straightforward manual free-spooling when setting up a recovery.
Both wired and wireless remote controls are included, giving you flexibility to operate the winch from a safer position or from the driver's seat when conditions allow. The 12K V3X is also compatible with the Carbon Offroad Air Freespool Clutch Upgrade.
