The KRX 1000 was built for technical trails, and technical trails are where you need a winch. This kit pairs the Viper MA11835 KRX mount plate with your choice of V3 winch, the 4,500 lb standard spool or the 6,000 lb wide spool. Moto Alliance lists the plate for standard or wide bolt patterns.
Why It Works on a KRX
- MA11835 plate made for the 2020-2026 KRX 1000 front end.
- Works with standard or wide bolt patterns, so both V3 sizes fit.
- The 6,000 lb wide spool gives extra margin on a heavier KRX4.
- IP67-sealed V3 body for water crossings and mud.
- Black, blue or red synthetic rope.
4,500 or 6,000 lb?
- V3 4,500 standard spool: lighter and shorter, with 40 ft of rope. Plenty for self-recovery and lifting a Denali plow on most machines.
- V3 6,000 wide spool: adds $80, a wider drum and 60 ft of rope. A good pick for heavier machines, crew cabs with a loaded bed, or anyone who winches other people out.
Trail Tips for KRX Owners
- Pack a snatch block to double pull power on a stuck four-seater.
- Keep five or more wraps on the drum.
- Use a tree saver strap to protect trees and your rope.
