About JL Exhausts

JL Exhausts is a family-run manufacturer of high-performance two-stroke exhaust systems, with a legacy spanning over four decades.

Founded by Jim Lomas in 1979 in Wymondham, Norfolk (UK), our journey began with hand-crafted exhausts for Yamaha TZ250 and TZ350 race bikes. Quickly recognized for their performance and reliability, JL Exhausts were adopted by top British racing teams such as Padgetts, Zip Karts, and Steve Webster’s championship-winning sidecar team.

In 1988, we entered the world of Superkart racing, making an immediate impact by achieving 1st and 2nd place in the British 250 Superkart Championship. From 1989 to 1992, JL Exhausts dominated the global Superkart scene, powering riders to titles in Great Britain, Sweden, South Africa, Australia, Europe, and even the World Championships.

Over the years, we have expanded our expertise to include exhausts for:

In 1993, we relocated our operations to the Czech Republic, where all JL products are now meticulously handmade in our own facility using only premium materials. Every exhaust is crafted with care, backed by unmatched service and guaranteed performance.

In 2015, the company passed into the next generation, with Jim’s son Oliver Lomas taking the reins. Today, Oliver continues the JL tradition—combining classic craftsmanship with modern innovation—while pushing forward to support the future of two-stroke performance culture worldwide.

About Jollymoto

Jollymoto has been a name synonymous with handcrafted performance exhausts since 1978, founded in Italy by Antonio “Tony” Amighetti and Giuditta Rinaldi. Known for their meticulous craftsmanship, iconic design, and race-proven performance, Jollymoto became one of the most respected brands in the two-stroke world.

In 2020, the founders decided to retire and close a legendary chapter. Not wanting to see such a name disappear, Moto Legend Ltd., owned by the Lomas family, acquired the Jollymoto brand—determined to preserve its heritage and carry it into the future.

Today, Jollymoto exhausts are produced at the JL factory in the Czech Republic using the same original machinery, tools, and Italian materials, ensuring that the soul of every exhaust remains untouched. Production continues under the same philosophy: hand-built quality, performance-focused design, and a deep respect for the two-stroke tradition.

Over the decades, Jollymoto earned its reputation through iconic products like the exhaust set for the Yamaha RD500LC, which remains a rider favorite to this day. The brand also saw racing success with names like Gianmarco Rossi, Davide Trolli, and partnerships with Team Italia, competing at the top levels of motocross and road racing throughout Europe.

Now under new ownership, Jollymoto continues to grow. Our ever-expanding range covers not just road and race bikes, but also motocross, karts, scooters, and two-stroke classics, all while preserving the craftsmanship and attention to detail that made Jollymoto famous.
