About the Product

Öhlins R&T Steering Damper Reservoir Piston Kit – 02280-01

The Öhlins 02280-01 R&T Steering Damper Reservoir Piston Kit is a high-performance upgrade component designed for Öhlins Road & Track steering dampers. Developed for demanding racing environments, this piston kit enhances damping performance and durability when steering dampers are subjected to extreme conditions such as professional racing or high-performance track use.

Used by professional teams in MotoGP, World Superbike (WSBK), and AMA racing, this upgrade kit improves the consistency and responsiveness of the steering damper system during aggressive riding and heavy loads.

Rather than being a complete steering damper, the 02280-01 kit is a performance internal component upgrade designed to improve the functionality of existing Öhlins dampers. It is commonly used by race teams and suspension specialists when rebuilding or upgrading steering dampers for competition motorcycles.
