GIGGLEPIN Hurricane Gear Set

The Ultimate Performance Upgrade for Your WARN 8274

Minimum 31% Faster Line Speed. Increased Strength. Competition-Proven Since 2004.

The GIGGLEPIN Hurricane Gear Set is the ultimate performance upgrade for the legendary WARN 8274, delivering a minimum 31% increase in line speed while significantly strengthening one of the most highly loaded areas of the winch drivetrain.

Originally engineered for competition winches, the Hurricane Gear Set has earned its reputation through thousands of recoveries worldwide. Whether you're tackling extreme trails, competitive winching or demanding recreational recoveries, it delivers the speed, strength and confidence serious winch owners expect.

If you're rebuilding your WARN 8274, this is one of the most significant performance upgrades you can make.

Why Upgrade to a Hurricane Gear Set?

The original WARN 8274 was designed decades ago.

Today's winches often run:

• Higher horsepower motors
• Synthetic rope
• Larger tyres
• Faster top gear ratios
• Harder and more frequent recoveries

These improvements place greater loads on the drivetrain while increasing the demand for faster recovery speeds.

The GIGGLEPIN Hurricane Gear Set was engineered to meet those demands.

By replacing both the factory Brake Shaft and the lower 7550 Main Gear with a purpose-designed performance gear system, the Hurricane delivers substantial increases in line speed while improving durability, gear engagement and overall drivetrain strength.

What the Hurricane Gear Set Delivers

✔ Minimum 31% faster line speed

✔ Up to 72% faster, depending on your gearing configuration

✔ Stronger Brake Shaft assembly

✔ Improved gear tooth engagement

✔ Better load distribution throughout the gear train

✔ Integrated heavy-duty Small Cam Gear

✔ Competition-proven reliability

How It Works

The Hurricane Gear Set replaces the factory gear combination with a redesigned performance gear system featuring:

• A 15-tooth Heavy Duty Brake Shaft
• A 62-tooth Lower Main Gear (7550)

This revised gearing increases overall gear speed while improving tooth contact and reducing the loads placed on individual gear teeth.

The result is a faster, smoother and significantly stronger drivetrain capable of handling today's demanding recovery conditions.

SuperShaft or Hurricane?

Not sure which upgrade is right for your build?

Choose the SuperShaft if you:

• Want maximum Brake Shaft strength
• Are retaining your existing gear ratios
• Want to eliminate the known weaknesses of the original Brake Shaft

Choose the Hurricane Gear Set if you:

• Want significantly faster recovery speeds
• Are replacing your Main Gear
• Want both increased performance and increased strength
• Are building a serious recreational or competition winch

⚠ Important Fitment Information

• Compatible only with the GIGGLEPIN Large Cam Gear (G60121)
• If fitting to a standard WARN 8274 lower housing (without SuperShaft installed), you will require the GIGGLEPIN Fitting/Shim Kit (G19008)
