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.

Mahmood Asim Al Raisi Ineos Grenadier | Abu Dhabi, UAE

Honestly, these suspensions are top-notch!

We used them to scout a racecourse in Portugal, driving a stock Grenadier with five people on board, chatting calmly the whole time.

Result: we completed the loop in 15 minutes, faster than some cars during the actual race!

We handled jumps without the slightest issue and went over bumps with impressive comfort.

Truth be told, I don't think I've even come close to finding the limits of the Nimbus yet.

And despite doing about ten laps with a vehicle weighing nearly 3 tons, there wasn't the slightest hint of overheating.

Sylvain "Sven" Venthenat Ineos Grenadier | France

The Grenadier is super smooth. Any little road chatter or bumps are eliminated.

It's soft at the very top of the stroke, making it very comfortable, but gets stiff quickly over normal road bumps and going into corners, making it way more drivable than stock.

The folks at Nimbus have been absolutely awesome to work with, answered every question I have, and even hand-delivered my shocks.

Could not have had a better experience with them.

Justin Robert Ineos Grenadier | Florida, USA

Just spent half a day testing Nimbus, and the only way to describe them is absolutely unbelievable.

I air down to 25 psi and the car felt like a trophy truck.

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.'

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.

Jean-Claude Cesana Land Rover Defender | France

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!

John Woods Land Rover Defender | Hong-Kong

The past 5,000 kilometers have been a vastly different driving experience.

We got to drive more confidently, and it was way more comfortable than the 200.000 kilometers before that.

We threw everything Africa has to offer at these shocks, and they held up well.

They outperformed our expectations by a long shot.

Manon & Tobias Land Rover Defender | Africa

I have done a lot with my Defender, but the most significant and transformative one, has been the Nimbus Suspension.

It has completely transformed how it handles and feels.

Long trips are never an issue and it has become my preferred daily driver. Fantastic on roads, and superior off-road.

How its possible, is truly beyond and above my imagination, but it is.

Kasper M. de Thurah @iamnordic Land Rover Defender | Norway

Everything went perfectly on the return journey, with exceptional behavior from the Defender.

We feel much more secure in terms of road handling.

And the comfort is incredible; it's a pleasure to get out of your 4x4 without having numb legs and back pain.

We're going to be able to fully enjoy it now. Many thanks to Nimbus and its team.

Best wishes and see you soon for other adventures. Adishatz!

Wow! I didn't know an 80 could be this plush and compliant. Creeping in on 100 series territory.

I also noticed the aerospace-level build quality while installing the Nimbus suspensions.

Bryce Drobny Toyota Land Cruiser | California, USA

I got the Land Cruiser back this afternoon and took it for a one-hour drive, and I'd describe it as an entirely modern SUV.

The clattering at the back has disappeared completely and it is now as smooth and silent as the front. The ride is soft and nice, you literally don't feel like you're in a car designed almost 30 years ago.

Thanks so much, Killian, for your proactive support and assistance. Your client service and attention to detail were exceptional, at a level I've never experienced before.

Tyler Brandsma Toyota Land Cruiser | Florida, USA

Not sure what to say other than I love driving my Land Cruiser even more now!

It's more comfortable than ever, but what I truly appreciate is how much more control and confidence I feel on dirt trails. I'm only 5,000 km in, but our recent trip to Morocco was the best one yet.

And also a huge thank you to your team. You've been incredibly patient and kind throughout the process.

Antoine Amilhat Toyota Land Cruiser | France

Nimbus is expanding its range of 4x4 suspension systems, particularly for the Hilux and Land Cruiser 150 Series and 200 Series.

They lent me their Land Cruiser 100 Series equipped with Nimbus, and I can guarantee: it's incredibly comfortable!

From now on, every 4x4 I restore will be fitted with Nimbus.

Right now, they have my Land Cruiser 200 for development, and I can't wait to get it back!

Dakar 2025

After completing the Dakar with our Toyota, I can confidently say that the Nimbus shocks exceeded our expectations.

Whether at high or low speeds, the performance was outstanding. Our leaf springs were quite stiff, so we didn't get all the comfort we had hoped for, but aside from that, the shocks performed flawlessly.

What's even more impressive is that we ran a single-shock setup while most others relied on dual shocks, and we had zero issues.

The car could take on another Dakar without even touching the shocks. In fact, I believe the shocks played a key role in ensuring we never got stuck in the sand.

All in all, an incredible performance and a setup we fully trust.

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. The difference is immediate.

A huge thank you to Nimbus Suspensions.
