Out there, every single kilogram matters, and reliable gear is the difference between a great adventure and a massive disaster. When Nick decided to race the grueling Baja 1000 in a Class 11 VW Bug, strict weight limits and rugged terrain meant a traditional, bulky winch was out of the question. He needed serious pulling power, but couldn't sacrifice the space or weight. Enter the Dragan Pocket Winch. By adding the world's lightest 1-ton winch to their kit, Nick's team had a highly packable, heavy-duty recovery solution ready to go. When their race car was teetering sideways on a steep cliff with the front tires completely off the ground, the Dragan winch effortlessly pulled them safely back onto the track. Whether rescuing a Baja racer on a cliffside, recovering a sunken snowmobile or hauling a downed adv moto out of a rocky river, it’s proof that the best recovery system is the one you can easily pack anywhere.
