DescriptionThe whole story

The Öhlins Blackline SD 068 is a direct-fit steering damper engineered specifically for the Ducati Panigale V2 955, covering model years 2020 to 2024. Whether you spend most of your time on public roads or occasionally push the pace on circuit days, this damper brings a measurable improvement in steering stability and everyday confidence without demanding constant adjustment or specialist setup.

Key Features

  • 68 mm stroke tuned for the Panigale V2 chassis geometry, delivering precise damping without dulling steering feel
  • Road and track type code (R&T) — equally suited to daily commutes and track days, adapting to varied riding conditions
  • Original mount fitment means no fabrication or custom brackets; the SD 068 bolts directly into the Panigale V2's existing mounting points
  • Supplied as a complete kit, so everything needed for a straightforward installation is included in the box
  • German road approval (ABE) confirmed for the Ducati Panigale V2 (2020–2024), giving peace of mind on public roads
  • Öhlins Blackline finish — understated, durable aesthetics that complement the V2's Italian styling without visual clutter

Built for Everyday Usability

High-spec steering dampers can sometimes feel like track-only hardware, but the SD 068 is designed around real-world versatility. The 68 mm stroke provides a damping range that tames the instability you notice most in everyday riding — motorway crosswinds, mid-corner bumps, or that unsettling head-shake under hard braking on an imperfect surface. The setup process is straightforward, and the original mount position means geometry and steering lock are unaffected, so the bike retains all its road-going agility.

Precision Damping from a Trusted Name

Öhlins has supplied suspension components to MotoGP, World Superbike, and Formula 1 for decades, and the technology that filters through to their road and track range is genuine rather than cosmetic. The Blackline series applies that engineering pedigree in a package priced and specced for enthusiast riders rather than full factory teams. The SD 068 is not a universal unit adapted to fit — it is a model-specific damper developed for the Panigale V2 platform, which means damping characteristics, stroke length, and mounting geometry are all dialled in from the outset.

Fitment & Compatibility

The Öhlins SD 068 is confirmed to fit the following models:

  • Ducati Panigale V2 955 (2020–2024) — with German road approval (ABE)

Please note: the actual steering damper unit may differ in appearance from the example images shown, as mounting configurations vary across different motorcycle models. Always verify your model year before ordering.

Fitting and Setup Service

Öhlins suspension rewards careful fitting. We recommend having the work done by an authorised Öhlins service centre — and we are one ourselves: we fit, service and set up Öhlins components in house. If you would like us to handle the installation, just ask and we will quote it with the order.
