SD20 021 Ohlins Steering Damper Kawasaki ZX6R / ZX10R 2018-2025

The Ohlins SD20 steering damper for Kawasaki ZX-6R / ZX-10R 2018-2025 is developed to improve steering stability, precision, and control during sport riding and track use. The new SD20 features a 20 mm piston, a more compact body, and optimized tolerances to provide fast and progressive response during hard acceleration, heavy braking, and high-speed direction changes.

Its technology is derived directly from Ohlins Factory Racing experience and uses an advanced cylinder-valve system designed to manage damping force more accurately. On the Kawasaki ZX-6R and ZX-10R, it helps control unwanted handlebar oscillations while maintaining front-end agility, sensitivity, and precision.
