About the Product

Öhlins Universal Steering Damper – 120 mm Stroke – Titanium Body (SD20 / SD003)

The Öhlins Universal Steering Damper – 120 mm Stroke is a high-performance stabilization component designed for sportbikes, supersport machines, and track/race use. Engineered with Öhlins’ race-proven hydraulic damping technology, this damper improves front-end stability, minimizes unwanted oscillations, and enhances rider confidence during aggressive riding.

Built around a 20 mm piston with advanced pressurized damping, this steering damper reduces headshake, wobble, and tank-slappers that can occur under hard acceleration, high-speed runs, or challenging surfaces. Tunable via 16 clicks of adjustment, the damper allows precise steering feel customization to suit rider preference, bike setup, or track conditions.

Featuring a premium titanium-anodized body for durability and corrosion resistance, the Öhlins 120 mm steering damper delivers consistent performance that’s fully rebuildable and serviceable. As a universal component, it requires model-specific mounting brackets for proper installation.
