Product Description
MC50 steering stabilizer setup for the 2021-2023 GasGas MC 50, built on the Scott's steering stabilizer, a hydraulic damper. This page lists a complete kit, a mount kit only, a frame bracket and a bar clamp, each with its Scott's part number. Mounted just above the bar clamp on the GasGas MC 50, it works against head shake and the sudden jolt that follows a hidden root or rock. For these years the top mount complete kit is part DS-5062-01 (about 3.5 lb), the sub mount complete kit is part DS-SUB-5028-01 (about 3.5 lb) and the top mount mount kit only is part DM-5062-01 (about 2 lb); 4 more options are listed below.

Does a Scott's MC50 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 GasGas MC 50 on this page.
What does a MC50 steering stabilizer do?
Mounted just above the bar clamp on the GasGas MC 50, it works against head shake and the sudden jolt that follows a hidden root or rock.
Is the Scott's stabilizer for the MC50 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 GasGas MC 50?
Scott's says yes, with a mount kit for the new bike. For the GasGas MC 50, the mount kit only parts: DM-5062-01, DM-SUB-5028-01.
What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my GasGas MC 50?
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 GasGas MC 50?
Fit depends on the model year. This page covers all years of the GasGas MC 50. 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 MC50 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 MC50 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.
