Where Everything Is Decided

When you change every component in a suspension, the interactions change. Erebus valving was redesigned from the ground up so every improvement becomes a coherent system.

The protection that is part of the metal

For Erebus, we replaced Cerakote with Type III hard anodization. The protection no longer sits on the metal — it grows into the metal, to MIL-A-8625 spec.

On every Nimbus Erebus, two small bearings connect your suspension to the chassis. We chose FLURO — a German specialist with 50 years of motorsport and aerospace pedigree — to make these invisible parts matter.
