About the Product

Öhlins Road & Track Steering Damper – Titanium (68 mm Stroke)

Universal High-Performance Steering Stabilizer

Enhance steering stability and rider confidence with the Öhlins Road & Track Steering Damper (68 mm stroke, Titanium finish). Engineered with the same precision and performance standards used in professional racing, this steering damper helps reduce unwanted handlebar movement and improves overall control during aggressive riding.

Designed as part of the Öhlins Road & Track lineup, this damper delivers smooth, consistent damping and a wide adjustment range, allowing riders to fine-tune steering resistance to match riding style, track conditions, or road surfaces.

Whether used on a high-performance sportbike or a custom race build, this steering damper provides improved front-end stability and reduces the risk of headshake under hard acceleration or rough riding conditions.


Performance Benefits

  • Increased front-end stability at high speeds

  • Reduced headshake and “tank-slapper” risk

  • Improved steering precision and rider control

  • Enhanced feedback during aggressive riding

  • Reduced rider fatigue on long rides

  • Ideal for both street and track motorcycles

Steering dampers act as an important safety component by stabilizing steering inputs and minimizing sudden handlebar oscillations during acceleration or when riding over uneven surfaces.


Advanced Öhlins Technology

Pressurized Hydraulic System

The damper uses pressurized hydraulic fluid to eliminate internal free play and deliver smooth, consistent damping performance.
