ADVANTAGES OF OLEO-PNEUMATIC SUSPENSIONS

ENHANCED COMFORT

Classic Defenders are notoriously uncomfortable. Air functions as the ultimate cushion, giving you an insanely comfortable driving experience –  like floating on a cloud. Thanks to oleo-pneumatic magic, road bumps and gravel practically vanish as the air effectively absorbs them.

 IMPROVED TRACTION & GRIP 

Nimbus takes your grip and traction to a new level by throwing in some soft damping action during transitional phases. The result? Seriously 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 gentle cushion-like effect). But as you keep on pushing, it gets firmer — giving you the perfect balance of comfort and stability.

 ADJUSTABLE SETTINGS 

The air pressure can be adjusted at any point – whether you're hauling a bigger load or accommodating specific driving requirements/ preferences. Your comfort and performance will remain on point, no matter how you fine-tune things.

 NO BOTTOMING OUT 

Using air improves the curve of absorption, meaning you won’t bottom out. Standard metal spring shocks have a linear response, but our oleo-pneumatic shocks have an exponential/ adaptive response, flexing its muscle when the hits come hard and keeping things extra smooth at slow speeds too.

 WEIGHT REDUCTION 

With Nimbus, you’ll experience significant weight savings compared to conventional suspensions. Using the highest grade aluminum allows us to cut down weight while retaining an exceptionally strong structure.
