bespoke OLEO-PNEUMATIC SUSPENSION system FOR INEOS GRENADIER
unmatched comfort | remarkable efficiency | absolute reliability | backed for life
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.
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)
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.

THE LAST SUSPENSION YOU'LL EVER NEED TO BUY FOR YOUR grenadier
We measure durability in decades, not years.
Nimbus Suspensions are designed for decades of exceptional comfort, safety, and performance, giving them a lifespan similar to your indestructible Ineos Grenadier.
Our secret to longevity blends state-of-the-art oleo-pneumatic technology with the finest materials, meticulously handcrafted by our team of skilled artisans and engineers.
HOW DO OLEO-PNEUMATIC SUSPENSIONS WORK?
Nimbus oleo-pneumatic suspension systems harness the unique properties of oil and nitrogen to absorb and dissipate shock loads effectively.
Within each chamber, nitrogen acts as a highly progressive spring, compressing under impact to cushion bumps and absorb vibrations, while oil flows through carefully engineered, spring-loaded flaps and orifices that precisely control the piston's movement during both shock absorption and rebound.
By fine-tuning the nitrogen pressure within the system, you can adjust the effective spring rate to accommodate significant load changes - such as adding or removing up to 800 lbs (about 400 kg) - without compromising comfort or performance. This makes Nimbus the perfect solution for both regular, occasional or permanent overlanding.
This dynamic balance between oil damping and adjustable nitrogen pressure ensures a smoother, more stable ride every time, every mile, on every terrain.
Real Journeys, Real Impact
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! "

“ I can't describe how the car changed completely on the road. It's very soft and smooth. No vibration, nothing. It feels like a Range Rover.
To be honest, it was the best investment ever.
Thanks again for the different experience. It does exactly what you advertise. “

“ With the Nimbus suspension doing its job, the unpaved road seemed almost buttery smooth; we could not believe how quietly the old Land Rover glided over the undulating washboard and maintained stability through the corners.
To me, a badly corrugated road is one of the most severe tests of a loaded overland vehicle’s suspension, and the Nimbus suspension passed with flying colors.
Luisa and I gaped at each other as we glided along with only the worst washboard registering vibration; “That’s incredible,” we thought. Nimbus calls that comfort the ‘flying carpet effect.’ ”

" When the 4x4 was driving, we were right behind it. Personally, I was able to witness the effectiveness of Nimbus suspensions!
I was blown away by its road handling when we had to make 90-degree turns. The vehicle didn’t slow down or barely did, and its trajectory remained unchanged, with no loss of grip.
Meanwhile, I had to slow down, taking a wider angle to turn, or I had to maintain my speed and drift through the turn to minimize speed loss.
The same happened for a level 3 danger bump while crossing the track. The 4x4 didn’t slow down, it took a jump, and the landing wasn’t harsh. It looked like it landed on air cushions with no deviation in trajectory.
Personally, I encourage everyone to try them. It’s mind-blowing!
A huge thank you to Nimbus Suspensions. "
