CHAQUE JEU DE SUSPENSIONS EST CONSTRUIT À LA MAIN ET SUR-MESURE POUR VOTRE vehicule
Lorsque vous nous passez commande, nous vous interrogeons sur les spécifications de votre 4x4, les modifications que vous lui avez apporté, vos préférences de conduite et la manière dont vous l'utilisez en général (chemins, raides, etc.).
Sur la base de ces renseignements, notre équipe technique va concevoir un ensemble de 4 combinés suspensions adapté exclusivement à vous et à votre 4x4.
Et quand nous disons "fait méticuleusement à la main", cela se traduit dans les faits.
Nous produisons nous-mêmes plus de 80% des pièces nécessaires à la fabrication des futures suspensions de votre véhicule, le tout dans notre usine près de Saint-Gaudens (31)
PRINCIPAUX AVANTAGES DES SUSPENSIONS OLEOPNEUMATIQUES NIMBUS
confort amélioré
La combinaison air et huile popularisée par Citroën et plus tard, Mercedes et Rolls Royce, offre un confort de conduite incomparable. La technologie oléopneumatique de Nimbus absorbe les petites imperfections de la route tout comme les pièges en tout-terrain, à haute comme à basse vitesse.
haute-performance
Les suspensions Nimbus offrent une adhérence et une capacité traction exceptionnelles grâce à un rebond ultra-rapide qui vient coller la roue au sol bien plus vite que les suspensions traditionnelles. Ainsi, le véhicule transforme mieux l'énergie en mouvement, améliorant ainsi la motricité, les performances et la sécurité de l'ensemble.
100% adaptables
Vos suspensions sont fabriquées sur mesure pour votre véhicule, et pour l'usage que vous souhaitez en faire. Mais à tout moment, la pression de l’air peut être ajustée, garantissant ainsi le même confort et les mêmes performances, quelle que soit la charge du véhicule et votre style de conduite.
haute sensibilité
Les suspensions Nimbus offrent une courbe de compression progressive avec une sensibilité accrue en début de course, qui vient absorber les petites imperfections du revêtement. C'est ce qui provoque cette sensation de flottement totalement contrôlé avec l'effet dit "Tapis Volant" ou "Nuage".
absence de talonnage
L’air est l'ingrédient secret qui empêche les suspensions de talonner même dans des conditions extrêmes. Là où les amortisseurs conventionnels apportent une réponse quasiment linéraire, les amortisseurs oléopneumatiques vont s'adapter à chaque sollicitation, les plus douces comme les plus violentes, empêchant ainsi tout talonnage.
légèreté
Les suspensions Nimbus sont plus légères que la plupart des systèmes de suspension conventionnels. L’utilisation d’aluminium de très haute qualité et d'autres matériaux venant, entre autres, de l'aérospatiale, nous permet de réduire le poids de nos produits tout en offrant une solidité et une résistance à la corrosion exceptionnelles.
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
We primarily use aerospace-grade aluminum for manufacturing most of the parts we need. It offers multiple advantages, such as enhanced corrosion resistance, but perhaps the most notable benefit is the significant weight reduction, making our shocks exceptionally lightweight.
Understanding Nimbus Suspensions:
What Sets Us Apart
It's common to mix up air suspensions and oleo-pneumatic suspensions, so let's make things clear.
Nimbus oleo-pneumatic suspensions focus on what truly matters: delivering unmatched comfort, efficiency, and performance. Our century-old, proven technology excels where it counts, ensuring superior grip, optimized energy transfer to the ground, and minimal body roll—all without compromising reliability.
While our suspensions don’t offer the feature of raising or lowering your car at the push of a button, they are engineered for drivers who prioritize exceptional handling and a smoother, more stable ride.
If that’s what you’re after, you’ve come to 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 verified and from clients or people who had a chance to test-ride the Nimbus for overlanding, off-roading, or daily use in urban jungle.
" 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."

" 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. "
graeme bell - Senior Editor

“ 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! ”

“ 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. ”

“ Honestly, I was a bit skeptical at first. I figured it would be better, of course, but I never imagined it could be to this extent.
After just a few hundred meters with the Nimbus, you understand immediately. The difference with the 130 is night and day. No more judders or vibrations, and consequently, less noise. Superb! ”
