Adventure has always shaped our lives. For me, that means years of international travel, endurance marathons, ultra-marathons, cycle touring around Europe, cycle touring across Australia, solo cycling from Johannesburg to Cape Town, dune bashing in the UAE and, more recently, exploring Africa's remote landscapes in our little black Jimny, Black Mamba.
Our own overlanding experiences exposed a fundamental problem: conventional suspension upgrades weren't adequately addressing the Jimny's changing loads and stability challenges. Rather than risk another off-the-shelf disappointment, we set out to find our own solution. That personal mission became Black Mamba Coils.
Today, working alongside South African Jimny specialists and TopTiger, we're developing practical suspension solutions tailored to the demands of African travel. Our focus goes beyond just a lift; we specialise in differential load management, consistent ride height and stability across changing terrain.
Our mission is simple: solve real problems, prioritise quality and performance, and deliver genuine value through local manufacturing wherever practical.
Every Vehicle Requires a Tailored Approach
We believe proper suspension starts with understanding the vehicle, not simply fitting a standard solution.
We assess each Jimny from a clean slate, taking into account its individual weight distribution, load requirements and intended use.
Our approach is driven by experience, a passion for getting things right, and a commitment to solving real-world problems through superior quality, performance and practical design.
Wherever possible, we manufacture locally, delivering genuine value without compromising on standards.
