CNC Racing steering support Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono . CNC Racing steering support Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono: why it matters The CNC Racing steering support for the Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono is a precision damper kit engineered in solid lightweight alloy and finished with anodization for durability. It mounts on your Hypermotard 698 Mono to reduce steering vibration and improve control at speed, working with a linear Ohlins damper to bring professional-grade feel to a bike that rewards sharp handling. Built to fit the original steering plate and risers, the CNC Racing steering support sits seamlessly in your bike’s geometry without modification. Precision engineering for the Hypermotard 698 Mono Ducati’s Hypermotard 698 Mono is a lightweight middleweight that runs sharp and agile, but a steering damper keeps that agility from becoming nervous at sustained highway speeds or on uneven surfaces. The CNC Racing steering support mounts between the steering head and the top clamp, absorbing oscillation before it reaches your hands. On a bike known for direct feedback, this is the kind of upgrade that lets you ride that feedback confidently rather than fighting it. The kit is machined from solid lightweight alloy, not cast, which means tighter tolerances and less deflection under load. The anodized surface resists corrosion and wear from weather and road salt, critical on a bike ridden year-round in India’s varied climates. Gold anodization is not just finish; it is a protective layer that hardens the alloy surface and extends the life of the damper mount. Works with linear Ohlins dampers The CNC Racing steering support is designed for use with a linear Ohlins damper with a 68 mm stroke. This specificity matters. A linear damper has consistent resistance throughout its stroke, which pairs with the support’s geometry to give smooth, predictable steering feel across the speed range. The two parts work together as a system, not as unrelated piec
