The Factor 55 UltraHook XTV Rope Guard is a purpose-built winch rope protection accessory for customers who want cleaner, better protected recovery hardware on UTV and ATV powersports winch recovery setups. It is designed for Factor 55 UltraHook XTV shackle mounts, helping cover exposed rope or loop areas that can take sun, abrasion, debris, and trail contact.
This rope guard covers the area where the synthetic winch line attaches to the compatible Factor 55 hardware. By moving the exposed rope surface behind the guard and fairlead, it helps reduce direct exposure to sunlight, rocks, road debris, and scraping contact.
For vehicles that see trail work, ledges, rough access roads, or frequent recovery prep, small exposed areas of winch line can become a weak point. This accessory helps keep that exposed area tucked behind a protective surface so the front recovery setup is easier to manage between uses.
The design focuses on simple serviceability rather than adding a bulky recovery component. Customers can add protection to a compatible Factor 55 setup while keeping the front of the winch line organized at the fairlead.
Whether customers are upgrading for trail recovery, off-road training, overland travel, or work-site recovery prep, the Factor 55 UltraHook XTV Rope Guard delivers practical winch-line protection in a compact Factor 55 accessory. Now Available at LEER!
