SD20 040 Ohlins Steering Damper Ducati Panigale V4 2018-2026

The Ohlins SD20 steering damper for Ducati Panigale V4 2018-2026 is designed to improve steering stability, precision, and control on one of Ducati's highest-performance superbikes. The new SD20 features a 20 mm piston, a more compact design, and optimized tolerances to provide a more precise and progressive response during acceleration, braking, and corner entry.

Its technology is derived directly from Ohlins Factory Racing experience and uses an exclusive cylinder-valve system capable of managing damping force more accurately. The result is more stable steering at high speed and improved control when the Panigale V4 rapidly transfers load to the front end or becomes lighter under hard acceleration.
