Model Significance

The AMP Research B2 stands as a pivotal pioneer in early full-suspension mountain bike history, engineered by Horst Leitner. This platform laid the historical foundation for AMP's brilliant four-bar linkage rear suspension system (the iconic Horst-link), which revolutionized off-road bicycle efficiency by isolating drivetrain torque and braking forces from suspension movement. The minimalist chassis is constructed from thin-walled aluminum tubing combined with uniquely engineered, lightweight steel and alloy frame members, delivering an exceptionally low overall mass paired with sharp handling for cross-country racers.

Decal Set Features

The visual design reflects the classic, boutique manufacturing aesthetic typical of early AMP Research framesets. The package is offered across two distinct and independent color variations: a solid black graphic set and a solid white graphic set. The kit features the core AMP RESEARCH logotypes paired with the handwritten-style Laguna Beach, Ca manufacturing location script. The comprehensive package incorporates vertically oriented A-M-P frame tube letters, independent small-scale AMP RESEARCH transfers, along with a four-piece set of vertical-stripe USA flag emblems.
