About the Product

Öhlins Steering Damper SD20 – Titanium Finish

Universal Steering Damper – 90 mm Stroke

Ultimate Steering Stability for High-Performance Motorcycles

Improve high-speed stability and rider confidence with the Öhlins SD20 Steering Damper (90 mm Stroke). Designed using Öhlins’ proven Road & Track suspension technology, this high-performance steering damper helps eliminate unwanted handlebar oscillation, reduce headshake, and enhance overall motorcycle stability during aggressive riding.

Featuring a 90 mm stroke and Öhlins’ advanced piston-style damping design, this universal steering damper is ideal for performance motorcycles, race bikes, and custom applications where maximum steering control is required.

Performance Benefits

• Increased stability during hard acceleration

• Reduced headshake and “tank slapper” risk

• Improved steering precision at high speeds

• Enhanced rider confidence during aggressive riding

• Smoother control over uneven road surfaces

• Reduced rider fatigue during long rides

Steering dampers are an important safety component that stabilize steering input and help prevent sudden handlebar movements that can occur during hard acceleration or rough road conditions.

Advanced Öhlins SD20 Technology

Piston-Style Steering Damper

The SD20 features a larger piston and cylinder design with tight manufacturing tolerances, improving damping consistency and responsiveness.

Cylinder-Valve Damping System

Instead of a traditional needle valve, the damper uses a cylinder-valve design with internal flow ports, providing balanced damping forces and quicker adjustment response across the entire damping range.

Pressurized Hydraulic Design

The damper operates with pressurized hydraulic fluid to eliminate internal free play and maintain smooth, consistent damping performance.

Racing-Inspired Engineering

Derived from Öhlins’ motorsport applications and electronically controlled steering damper technology used in professional racing programs.
