Questions riders ask
Which kit do I need for the G 650X?
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 G 650X. Scott's says some bikes need different bars when the crossbar sits too low.
