1993 Amp Research B2

Amp Research was know more lightweight, if somewhat fragile, full suspension designs.  The rear end design was also featured on other bikes such as the Fat Chance Shock-a-Billy.  The B2 frame has dual down tubes to keep the weight down.  This bike has many titanium fasteners in a further attempt at keeping the weight low.
