Off-road
Control where the road ends.
For expedition vehicles carrying real weight across rock, sand, mud, snow and corrugations.
Oleo-pneumatic suspensions
Nimbus oleo-pneumatic suspension systems.
Pressurized nitrogen becomes progressively firmer as it compresses. Hydraulic oil controls the motion. Together, they adapt through the physical architecture itself, without electronics, external clickers or the usual comfort compromise.
Applications
Same physics.
Very different worlds.
Nimbus applies oleo-pneumatic control to vehicles and machines with very different jobs. The architecture is calibrated around the real load, movement and conditions of each application.
Tesla
Comfort for the roads that actually exist.
More comfort and composure over potholes, broken pavement and everyday roads, engineered specifically around the vehicle.
∆P
Pressure, precisely where you need it.
A portable nitrogen system for accurate suspension pressure work in the workshop or in the field.
Industrial
Built around the load.
Not the catalog.
Custom oleo-pneumatic solutions for armored vehicles, mobile equipment, landing systems and other demanding applications.
How Nimbus works
Nitrogen adapts.
Oil controls.
Compressed nitrogen acts as a naturally progressive spring. It remains supple over small inputs and becomes increasingly resistant as compression builds. Hydraulic oil controls compression and rebound through calibrated internal flow. Both functions respond together, through physics, without waiting for an electronic instruction.
Progressive by physics
Compressed nitrogen increases its resistance as its available volume decreases. The response changes naturally with the movement and load.
Controlled by flow
Hydraulic oil moves through calibrated internal passages to control compression and rebound, absorb vibration and manage impact energy.
One architecture, no guesswork
Spring behavior and damping work together inside the system. No external clickers, no mismatched settings and no electronic control layer.
Built for the thousandth impact
The response should last as long as the journey.
Nimbus is engineered to limit heat buildup and maintain a stable response through repeated impacts, long corrugated stages and demanding duty cycles.
The first impact matters. So does the thousandth.
Operating temperature range
From arctic cold to sustained desert heat. Aluminum 6082 bodies dissipate heat under extreme use, while the complete hydraulic system is engineered for the full range.
Every unit pressure tested
Each unit is pressurized to 50 bar and submerged underwater for 48 hours before it leaves the workshop. No sampling, no exceptions.
No clickers. No guessing.
In an oleo-pneumatic system, changing gas pressure adjusts both spring rate and damping force simultaneously, keeping their ratio mathematically correct. No mismatched setups. No user error.
Customer stories
Real world results, driven by experience.
Drivers who use Nimbus across everyday roads and demanding trails share what changed, what improved, and what surprised them most.
No scripts. Just field-tested feedback.
After discovering Nimbus, I was eager to learn how its suspension system could enhance my Ineos Grenadier.
From my first contact with Pierre-Olivier and Killian, I felt more like part of the Nimbus Team than a customer.
Now, with nearly 10,000 on- and off-road miles, I'm convinced. The stability and ride quality are exceptional, whether on DC's pothole-ridden streets or the rugged trails of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
I look forward to future innovations and can't wait to integrate the next Nimbus upgrades!
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.
Why Nimbus
A cloud is a suspension.
We chose the name Nimbus because a cloud suggests the smoothness we wanted to create, and because our technology relies on gas under pressure to produce its progressive response. We also simply liked the name. The more we built, the more appropriate it became.
Weight, carried by gas, with apparent ease.
