Product Description

Questions riders ask
Which kit do I need for the MC 85?
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 MC 85. Scott's says some bikes need different bars when the crossbar sits too low.

Does a Scott's MC85 steering damper kit come with the mounts?

What does a MC85 steering stabilizer do?
A steering stabilizer does for the MC 85's handlebars what a shock does for the wheels: it controls fast movement with oil and valving you can adjust.
Is the Scott's stabilizer for the MC85 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 85?
Scott's says yes, with a mount kit for the new bike. For the GasGas MC 85, the mount kit only parts: DM-4551-00, DM-SUB-4558-13.
What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my GasGas MC 85?
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 85?
Fit depends on the model year. This page covers all years of the GasGas MC 85. 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 MC85 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 MC85 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.
