The Öhlins SD 004 is a precision-engineered universal steering damper built for riders who refuse to compromise on handling refinement. With 140 mm of stroke and an installation length adjustable between 34.5 mm and 375.5 mm, it adapts to a remarkably wide range of motorcycles — from custom builds to dedicated track machines — while delivering the signature Öhlins damping quality that has defined championship-winning suspension for decades.
Key Features
- 140 mm stroke delivers progressive, fade-free damping across the full range of steering inputs
- Adjustable installation length from 34.5 mm to 375.5 mm makes fitment possible on a wide variety of frames and mounting configurations
- R&T (Road and Track) type code confirms genuine dual-purpose capability — equally at home on a circuit or a custom street build
- Universal design removes model-specific constraints, giving builders and tuners maximum flexibility
- Öhlins heritage in motorsport engineering ensures consistent damping character and long service life
Design, Finish and Heritage
Öhlins has been synonymous with premium suspension since the brand's earliest Grand Prix victories, and the SD 004 carries that legacy into a universal format. The damper's clean, purposeful aesthetic — finished to Öhlins' exacting standards — integrates naturally with both factory-style builds and bespoke custom projects. Every component reflects the Swedish manufacturer's obsession with precision machining and surface quality, making the SD 004 as visually convincing as it is technically capable.
The R&T designation is not marketing shorthand. It describes a unit tuned to perform under the thermal and mechanical demands of track use while remaining compliant and confidence-inspiring on public roads — a balance that takes genuine engineering to achieve. Whether bolted to a café racer, a track-day superbike, or a custom chopper, the SD 004 brings a measurable improvement in straight-line stability and corner-entry composure.
Versatility and Installation
The wide installation length range means the SD 004 can be mounted in configurations that would defeat a model-specific damper. Builders working with custom frames or unconventional mounting points will find the adjustment range genuinely liberating. Standard Öhlins mounting hardware and clevis ends are compatible, and the damper's axis remains correct across the adjustment range to preserve intended damping geometry.
Fitment and Compatibility
The Öhlins SD 004 is a universal steering damper. It is not supplied with a model-specific mounting kit and does not include a type-approval certificate (Teilegutachten) for use on public roads in Germany. Riders intending to use this damper on a German-registered road motorcycle must obtain individual approval. Outside Germany, local regulations regarding aftermarket steering dampers apply. Please note that product images may differ from the actual unit due to the range of possible mounting configurations.
