main BENEFITS OF nimbus OLEO-PNEUMATIC SUSPENSIONS

ENHANCED COMFORT

Air functions as a cushion, delivering extraordinary comfort — like driving on a cloud. With oleo-pneumatic technology, road bumps or gravel become imperceptible as they are effectively absorbed by the air.

IMPROVED GRIP & TRACTION

Nimbus provides exceptional grip and traction by incorporating softer damping during compression-damping transitional phases. This results in efficient filtering and significant dampening of minor road imperfections.

HEIGHTENED SENSITIVITY

Air provides a progressive absorption curve, with heightened sensitivity at the beginning of the stroke (providing a cushion-like effect), and gradually becoming firmer the more you push.

ADJUSTABLE SETTINGS

The air pressure can be adjusted at any point to accommodate a greater load or specific driving requirements/ preferences, all while ensuring optimal comfort and performance remain unaffected.

NO BOTTOMING OUT

Using air improves the curve of absorption. Conventional metal spring shocks have a constant (linear) curve, while oleo-pneumatic shocks are more adaptive. Our progressive curve ends in a straight line, meaning you won’t bottom out

WEIGHT REDUCTION

Air provides a progressive absorption curve, with heightened sensitivity at the beginning of the stroke (providing a cushion-like effect), and gradually becoming firmer the more you push.

what nimbus SUSPENSIONS

do not do!

There is sometimes a bit of confusion between air suspensions and oleo-pneumatic suspensions, and that's natural. Let us explain and clear up this ambiguity once and for all.

Oleo-pneumatic suspensions do not allow the car to be raised or lowered at the push of a button, or at least not ours. It is the air suspensions that do that.

Our suspensions are oleo-pneumatic, meaning they use a technology invented over a century ago, which provides superior comfort compared to traditional air suspensions, while also improving overall efficiency, increasing grip, enhancing energy transfer to the ground, and reducing body roll without sacrificing reliability.

If you're looking for all that, but not the ability to raise or lower your car, you're in the right place!

They share their experience

We asked those who experienced the Nimbus to give us their opinions and to share with all of you what they felt after a few miles. All the reviews below are based on usage in overlanding, off-roading, or daily use in urban jungle.

“I still find it hard to believe, but the most comfortable car I've ever tried in my life is now a Land Rover Defender.

I understand what you mean when you talk about the 'Flying Carpet' effect; that's exactly it.”

“Installation carried out last Thursday, I can confirm it's a real treat. No more apprehension about taking the Defender for a long journey. I no longer recognize my vehicle, which has become so comfortable.

Moreover, Killian and his colleague are very nice, keen to keep their commitment and to serve the customer as well as possible. It's nice to see people who are eager. Keep it up, the future is ahead of you.”

“I have to say the drive quality is so much better! It drives like a brand new car with modern suspension and without the judders and wobbles that used to characterize the old ride!

Many thanks for your outstanding customer service. I really appreciate. Do let me know if you invent anything else and I will be sure to buy!”

" When I finally had the opportunity to test drive the Nimbus-equipped 130, my immediate reaction was, 'Wow! I never knew a Defender could be this smooth!'

The ride was incredibly comfortable, to the point that it transformed my driving experience. Thank you to the team at Nimbus. I think I felt in love with the Defender a second time!”

raphaël bravi

" Guys, I'm really impressed! I still have to upgrade all my bushings to get the full experience, but what we have experienced so far has been really great.

Especially on bad corrugated roads, which is one of the toughest tests in my opinion."

" I can't describe how the car changed completely on the road. It's very soft and smooth—no vibration. It feels like a Range Rover.

To be honest, it was the best investment ever.

Thanks again for the different experience. It does what you advertise."

Got questions?

Tobias and Killian got answers

Our friends Manon and Tobias, also known as Rafiki on Tour, have been cruising across Africa with their Land Rover Defender 130 for months. They were kind enough to sit down with Killian Carles, our Chief Product Officer, to discuss our technology, products, processes, materials, what to expect when you install Nimbus on your Defender, and much more.

Whether you own a Defender, Land Cruiser, Jeep, or Grenadier, we invite you to watch this video if you are considering installing custom Nimbus suspensions on your vehicle; most of what you will learn is common to different 4x4s.

Note:

Manon and Tobias are incredible overlanders, and we appreciate them so much that we have invited them to become Nimbus Ambassadors. While we conduct comprehensive and extensive testing sessions when developing new products, receiving feedback from daily users is crucial for us. If you are an off-road enthusiast, you will also enjoy the stunning photos and videos they share.
