About the Product

Öhlins Road & Track Steering Damper – Titanium (150 mm Stroke)

Universal High-Performance Steering Stabilizer

Enhance high-speed stability and steering precision with the Öhlins Road & Track Steering Damper (150 mm stroke, Titanium finish). Developed using Öhlins’ race-proven engineering, this premium steering damper helps reduce unwanted handlebar oscillation, improve front-end feedback, and increase rider confidence during aggressive riding conditions.

Designed as a universal steering damper, the 150 mm stroke version is ideal for motorcycles requiring a longer steering stabilizer travel—commonly used on race bikes, custom builds, and motorcycles with extended steering geometry. With its pressurized hydraulic design and precision manufacturing tolerances, this damper delivers consistent damping performance across a wide range of riding conditions.


Performance Benefits

  • Increased stability during hard acceleration

  • Reduced risk of headshake and “tank slapper”

  • Improved steering precision and front-end feedback

  • Greater rider confidence during aggressive riding

  • Reduced rider fatigue on long rides

  • Ideal for both street and track applications

Steering dampers are a critical performance component that stabilize steering inputs and help prevent sudden handlebar movements caused by bumps, acceleration, or aggressive cornering.


Advanced Öhlins Technology

SD20 Piston-Style Damper Design

The latest SD20 steering damper architecture uses a larger piston and cylinder to deliver smoother damping characteristics and improved control across the entire adjustment range.

Cylinder-Valve Damping System

Instead of a traditional needle valve, Öhlins uses a cylinder-valve design with precisely engineered ports that balance hydraulic force. This design improves sensitivity and allows quicker damping adjustments.

Pressurized Hydraulic System

The damper operates with pressurized hydraulic fluid to eliminate internal free play and maintain consistent damping performance under aggressive riding conditions.

Motorsport-Inspired Engineering

Derived from Öhlins racing applications and electronic steering damper technology used in professional motorsports.
