How Oleo-Pneumatic Works, and Why It changes everything
Nimbus doesn’t use coils or leaf springs to keep your vehicle in check. Instead, it combines gas and oil in a self-adaptive system that reacts instantly to whatever the road - or trail - throws at you.
Our oleo-pneumatic units, inspired by aerospace and military applications, deliver comfort, control, and rugged reliability in every condition.
The result? A ride that feels unlike anything else in the 4x4 world.
It’s a big idea with a simple question: why bounce, when you can glide?
" Oleo-pneumatic technology, pioneered over a century ago, has been the backbone of superior suspension systems in iconic brands like Citroën, Rolls-Royce, and Mercedes-Benz, consistently delivering unparalleled comfort and performance. "
No Trims. No Tiers. Just the Best We Can Build
At Nimbus, we don’t offer entry-level, mid-range, or premium versions, we only build the very best we can engineer for your vehicle, at the time of your order.
Our suspensions are in constant evolution, meaning each set reflects the latest advancements in our technology and expertise. What you receive isn’t just custom-built. It’s the most advanced version we’re capable of producing at that moment.
Each unit is hand-crafted, using the highest-grade materials we can source, often the same aluminums and components used in aerospace and military applications.
It’s no accident that our factory sits just outside Toulouse, the heart of Europe’s aerospace and aeronautical industry, and home to Airbus. We are surrounded by a culture of engineering discipline and precision, and we apply that same standard to everything we build for you.
The Leclerc tank, weighing in at 55 tons, is the heaviest land vehicle to operate on oleo-pneumatic suspension.

Driven by Experience.
We invited drivers who’ve experienced the transformative performance of Nimbus suspensions to share their stories and insights. Their honest feedback, drawn from real off-road adventures, highlights how our technology enhances comfort, stability, and overall driving performance.
Discover firsthand how Nimbus is making a difference on every trail.
" 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.”
