DescriptionThe whole story

The Öhlins SD 068 is a precision-engineered road and track steering damper purpose-built for the Ducati Panigale 1299, offering the kind of certified, confidence-inspiring stability that separates a composed chassis from a nervous one at triple-digit speeds. Approved for road use in Germany (ABE), this is a direct-fit kit that delivers genuine Öhlins performance without compromise.

Key Features

  • ABE type approval for road use in Germany — ride legally on public roads as well as the track with full peace of mind.
  • 68 mm stroke engineered to absorb and control unwanted handlebar deflection during hard braking, mid-corner bumps, and high-speed instability.
  • Road and track (R&T) specification: tuned to handle everything from daily commuting to aggressive circuit sessions on the Panigale 1299.
  • Original mount fitment — bolts directly into the factory mounting positions with no modification required for the 2015–2018 Panigale 1299.
  • Supplied as a complete kit, ensuring every necessary component for a clean, straightforward installation is included.
  • Genuine Öhlins quality with the engineering heritage trusted by MotoGP and World Superbike teams worldwide.

Engineered for Stability and Control

High-powered superbikes like the Ducati Panigale 1299 demand a steering damper that can keep pace with their performance envelope. At sustained high speeds and through fast, technical corners, even minor surface imperfections or braking forces can transmit directly to the handlebar. The SD 068 absorbs these inputs progressively, maintaining a straight, composed steering line and reducing rider fatigue on long runs or demanding track sessions.

The R&T classification means Öhlins has validated this damper across both road and track conditions — it is not a track-only item artificially repurposed for street use, but a unit genuinely calibrated for the full spectrum of riding the Panigale 1299 was designed for.

Fitment and Compatibility

The SD 068 mounts to the original factory positions on the Panigale 1299, requiring no custom brackets or modifications. Please note that the appearance of the physical unit may differ slightly from product images, as mounting geometry can vary between motorcycle models and year ranges.
