Questions riders ask
Which kit do I need for the KDX 220?
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 KDX 220. Scott's says some bikes need different bars when the crossbar sits too low.
