Product Description
TXC449 steering stabilizer setup for the 2011-2013 Husqvarna TXC 449, built on the Scott's steering stabilizer, a hydraulic damper. This page lists a complete kit, a mount kit only and a bar clamp, each with its Scott's part number. When the TXC 449's front wheel hits something and the bars try to snap sideways, the damper resists that fast movement. For these years the weld-on complete kit is part DS-4551-00 (about 3.5 lb) and the weld-on mount kit only is part DM-4551-00 (about 1.5 lb); 1 more option are listed below.

Questions riders ask
Which kit do I need for the TXC 449?
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 TXC 449. Scott's says some bikes need different bars when the crossbar sits too low.
