Jonghi is a French motorcycle brand, created in 1930, known for its motorcycles which have won major races, such as the Bol d’or 19321, the 24 Hours World Record2 in 1933 or the World Hour Record in 250 cm3 in 19343.

The company was born from the meeting of Argentinian Tito Jonghib (initial financing) and Italian Giuseppe Remondinic (design and production). The Jonghi were then manufactured by three successive companies: “Constructions Mécaniques Jonghi” from mid-1930 to mid-1932, “Constructions Mécaniques Remondini Père et Fils” from mid-1932 to 1944, “Société Nouvelle des Motocyclettes et Mopeds Jonghi” from 1944 to 1957.
