DescriptionThe whole story

The Öhlins SD 040 is a purpose-engineered steering damper that brings Öhlins' decades of motorsport heritage directly to the Ducati Panigale V4 R. Designed to mount in the original factory position, it delivers the precise, confidence-inspiring steering control that a machine of this calibre demands — on road and track alike.

Key Features

  • 68 mm stroke engineered specifically for the Panigale V4 R's geometry, maintaining the factory riding position without compromise.
  • Road and track (R&T) specification provides the damping range to suit everything from spirited road riding to circuit sessions.
  • Original mount installation means no custom brackets or fabrication — a direct, clean fit that preserves the V4 R's purposeful aesthetic.
  • Öhlins' renowned Swedish engineering heritage: precise internal tolerances and motorsport-grade materials built to endure sustained high-load use.
  • Continuously adjustable damping allows the rider to dial in response to match individual riding style and track conditions.

Design, Finish and Heritage

Öhlins has been synonymous with championship-winning suspension since the 1970s, and the SD 040 carries that lineage in every detail. The unit's understated finish suits the Panigale V4 R's aggressive lines without visual clutter, while the precision-machined body reflects the craftsmanship that has made Öhlins the first choice of factory race teams across MotoGP, World Superbike and beyond. This is not an aftermarket upgrade dressed up in branding — it is a component developed alongside the demands of the sport itself.

Performance on Road and Track

High-speed stability is one of the most critical factors separating a composed corner entry from a frightening moment at the limit. The SD 040 works continuously to absorb the oscillations and kickback transmitted through the front end under braking, over surface changes and at speed, giving the rider consistent, predictable steering behaviour. With 68 mm of stroke matched to the Panigale V4 R's chassis kinematics, the damper operates efficiently through the full range of steering movement without masking feel or adding unwanted resistance at low speed.
