Designed to mount in the original position without modification, it integrates seamlessly into the 899's chassis for a natural, fatigue-free feel across every mile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e68 mm stroke provides a generous, precisely controlled damping range suited to the 899 Panigale's handling character\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal mount installation — no frame drilling or custom bracketry required, keeping the build clean and reversible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoad and track (R\u0026amp;T) type code means the SD 040 is equally at home on a Sunday ride and a circuit day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide adjustment range lets you dial in damping to match road conditions, tyre choice, and personal preference\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÖhlins engineering pedigree: developed and validated to the same standards as OEM fitments on factory superbikes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eABE approval for German road use — fully road-legal for everyday riding in Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePrecision Without Compromise\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteering dampers are often an afterthought, added after a tank-slapper reminds a rider why they matter. The SD 040 takes a different approach: it is tuned specifically for the 899 Panigale's geometry, so the damping curve works with the chassis rather than against it. The result is a steering feel that remains light and responsive at low speeds while providing meaningful stability under hard braking and mid-corner adjustments. Long motorway stretches become noticeably less tiring, and technical sections feel more composed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Adjustment\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original mount design means the SD 040 fits directly to the factory mounting points on the Ducati 899 Panigale. No specialist fabrication is needed. Once fitted, the wide adjustment range allows incremental changes to compression damping so you can refine the feel for everything from wet commutes to dry track sessions without removing the unit from the bike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease note: the actual damper unit may differ in appearance from example images shown, as mounting hardware and orientation vary between motorcycle models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDucati 899 Panigale (2013–2016) — 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 040\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType Code\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\u003eMounting Position\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOriginal mount\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApproval\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 899 Panigale 2013–2016\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":53168698261770,"sku":"SD 040","price":374.94,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/SD064_eac4a50a-649c-4bf9-8000-8690e95ad7cd.png?v=1780811387","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-mg\/products\/ohlins-sd-040-steering-damper-ducati-899-panigale","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
