DescriptionThe whole story▼
Confidence through every corner is what the Öhlins SD 068 delivers to Ducati Panigale 899 riders. Designed as a direct-fit kit for the 2013–2016 Panigale 899, this steering damper combines a 68 mm stroke with Öhlins' road and track damping technology to keep the front end composed under hard acceleration, high-speed direction changes, and the kind of sustained cornering that exposes any weakness in a chassis setup.
Key Features
- 68 mm stroke tuned specifically for the Panigale 899's geometry and riding demands
- Road and track (R&T) type code — equally at home on a Sunday canyon run or a track day at Mugello
- Original mount fitment uses the factory mounting positions, preserving geometry and simplifying installation
- Supplied as a complete kit, so all necessary hardware is included for a clean, straightforward fit
- Öhlins' precision damping circuit reduces unwanted steering oscillation without dulling feedback or adding vagueness
Built to Öhlins Standards
Every SD 068 unit is manufactured to the exacting tolerances that have made Öhlins the benchmark suspension brand in both MotoGP and World Superbike. The internals are engineered to resist fade across a full track session while remaining consistent and predictable on the road — exactly what a high-revving, torque-rich twin like the Panigale 899 demands from its steering control. The original-mount design means no fabrication, no compromised bracket angles, and no guesswork during setup.
On the Road and Track
At speed, small disturbances and road imperfections that would ordinarily feed unwanted movement into the bars are absorbed before the rider ever notices them. The result is a calmer, more planted feel that reduces fatigue over longer rides and allows greater precision when threading the 899 through a sequence of fast corners. Please note that the physical appearance of the damper unit may differ slightly from the product images shown, as mounting configurations vary between motorcycle models.

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.
