Questions riders ask
Which kit do I need for the 520 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 520 RR. Scott's says some bikes need different bars when the crossbar sits too low.
