All the new ATV winches are coming standard with synthetic cable now. It is much stronger than steel at the same diameter and it has no "spring" in it so Its much safer to winch with than steel.
I have had no issues with my synthetic cable since getting a new Warn 3500 pound winch with it already on there. You just have to keep it clean. I just unreal it and rinse it off after each ride where I needed to use it to recover my buddies in the mud.
