Factor 55 Rope Guard for Flatlink XXL

Shield your synthetic winch rope from UV breakdown, rock strikes, and constant abrasion while using the guard itself as a skid surface on vertical obstacles.

• Engineered exclusively for the Flatlink XXL to deliver a precise fit that covers every exposed section of synthetic rope behind the guard and fairlead.
• Blocks direct UV exposure that degrades rope fibers over repeated outdoor use and prevents surface wear from contact with rocks, dirt, and recovery gear.
• Transforms into a durable skid plate, letting you climb tall vertical obstacles without the rope taking direct hits or catching on edges.
• Keeps all synthetic rope surfaces recessed and protected during both straight-line pulls and angled recoveries common in hardcore off-roading.
• Integrates cleanly with standard hawse fairleads so the guard stays in place without adding bulk or interfering with winch operation.
• Built to handle the repeated impacts and sliding abrasion that occur when off-road vehicles push through technical terrain and training courses.
• Maintains rope integrity on long expeditions where UV and trail damage would otherwise shorten service life and compromise safety.
