Questions riders ask
Which kit do I need for the 480 RR?
If you do not have a Scott's stabilizer yet, pick a complete kit. If you already own one, a mount kit only moves it to this bike.
Will it fit my handlebars?
Check the bar diameter and the crossbar on your 480 RR. Scott's says some bikes need different bars when the crossbar sits too low.

Does a Scott's 480 RR steering damper kit come with the mounts?
The complete kit does. Scott's lists a complete kit as the one with everything you need to get a stabilizer on the bike, and a mount kit only as the part for riders who already own a Scott's stabilizer. Both are options for the 2015-2016 Beta 480 RR on this page.
What does a 480 RR steering stabilizer do?
When the 480 RR's front wheel hits something and the bars try to snap sideways, the damper resists that fast movement.
Is the Scott's stabilizer for the 480 RR the same as on other bikes?
Almost always. The stabilizer is part 4200-00, and the mount is the part that changes from bike to bike. See the Scott's 4200-00 stabilizer.
Can I move my Scott's stabilizer to a 2015-2016 Beta 480 RR?

What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my Beta 480 RR?
A tank slapper is a fast side to side shake of the handlebars. Our guides explain what causes it and how to decide whether you need a stabilizer: tank slappers, speed wobble and head shake and do you need a steering stabilizer.
Will a Scott's steering stabilizer fit my Beta 480 RR?
Fit depends on the model year. This page covers 2015-2016 of the Beta 480 RR. Choose your year in the fitment bar and match the part number on the kit to your bike. Part numbers are explained in the kit guide.
How do I set the damping on a 480 RR steering stabilizer?
Scott's says its off-road units damp as the bars turn away from center and let them return freely. Scott's also says the damping is adjustable, including while riding. The install guide covers settings.
How do I service a Scott's 480 RR steering stabilizer?
Scott's says to treat it like suspension, with an occasional oil change depending on how hard you ride. See the service guide.
