Whether you are chasing lap times on circuit or pushing hard on fast, open roads, this damper delivers the confidence to carry more speed through the steering without sacrificing feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e68 mm stroke provides a precisely calibrated damping range matched to the Panigale V4 S chassis geometry and steering arc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eR\u0026amp;T (Road and Track) type code means it is equally at home on race days as on spirited road rides — no compromise required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal mount fitment integrates directly into the Panigale V4 S factory mounting points for a clean, rattle-free installation with no fabrication or custom brackets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKit format includes every component needed for a complete, correct fit straight from the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarries German ABE type approval, ensuring road-legal use in Germany without individual vehicle inspection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÖhlins motorsport heritage ensures the damping internals meet the same standards used in World Superbike and MotoGP applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerformance on Track and Road\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHigh-corner-speed stability is the defining challenge on the Panigale V4 S. The inline four-cylinder engine delivers power in a way that can unsettle the front wheel under braking and mid-corner, and without a quality steering damper, the resulting oscillations sap both speed and confidence. The Öhlins SD 068 arrests those oscillations at their source, damping unwanted steering inputs progressively rather than rigidly, so the rider retains steering feel while the chassis stays settled. The 68 mm stroke is calculated to allow the full lock-to-lock movement the V4 S requires on slow hairpins while providing meaningful resistance where it matters at high speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Compatibility Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SD 068 is designed for original mount positions on the Ducati Panigale V4 S. Because mounting configurations differ across motorcycle models, the actual damper unit may differ in detail from generic product imagery — the SD 068 is the correct specification for the V4 S fitment listed below. Installation uses existing brackets and hardware; no permanent modifications to the frame or fairing are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDucati Panigale V4 S (2018, 2019, 2020) — ABE approved for road use in Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePart Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSD 068\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteering damper R\u0026amp;T\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStroke\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e68 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMount\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOriginal mount\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSupply format\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRoad approval\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eABE (Germany)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDucati Panigale V4 S (2018–2020)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eÖhlins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Öhlins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53168755278090,"sku":"SD 068","price":356.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/SD068black_b4975733-876c-4545-a782-f9769f694677.png?v=1780813637","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-gb\/products\/ohlins-sd-068-steering-damper-ducati-panigale-v4-s","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
