Company History
Under the JRL name, small European teams produced limited numbers of road and track specials—pared-back frames, re-valved suspension, and intake/exhaust kits that sharpened midrange without sacrificing reliability. The ethos was coherent packages over headline dyno figures: geometry you can feel, lever effort you appreciate at hour three, and fueling that pulls cleanly off corners. JRL also sold bolt-on parts—subframes, rearsets, brake upgrades—tested by club racers who ride through weather and mistakes. Documentation mattered: clear torque specs, exploded diagrams, and settings notes helped owners maintain performance without black magic. Historically, JRL represents Europe’s workshop culture where skilled fabricators elevate mainstream platforms into personal instruments. Even when badges change hands, the DNA persists—measured improvements that make a rider faster because the bike talks more clearly, not because the catalog got louder.
