About the Product

Öhlins Universal Steering Damper – 140 mm Stroke – Titanium Body (SD20 / SD004)

The Öhlins Universal Steering Damper – 140 mm Stroke is a premium high-performance stabilization component engineered for sportbike, track, and race motorcycle applications. Designed using Öhlins’ race-proven hydraulic damping technology, this steering damper delivers exceptional front-end stability, improved rider confidence, and precise steering control under aggressive riding conditions.

Built around a 20 mm piston pressurized damping system, the Öhlins steering damper effectively reduces unwanted handlebar oscillations, headshake, and tank-slappers that can occur during hard acceleration, high-speed riding, or uneven track surfaces. The result is a more planted front end and improved overall handling performance.

Featuring 16 precise damping adjustment clicks, riders can easily fine-tune steering resistance to match riding style, track conditions, or motorcycle setup. The damper is constructed with a titanium-anodized body, ensuring excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and the premium finish expected from Öhlins suspension components.

Because this is a universal steering damper, installation typically requires model-specific mounting brackets or kits depending on the motorcycle application.

Whether used for trackday bikes, race builds, or high-performance street machines, the Öhlins 140 mm steering damper delivers the stability and control trusted by professional racers worldwide.
