From the industry leading 1980s four stroke ATK motocross and off road motorcycles which presaged today’s dominant four stroke machines, to unique AMP Research and Mercedes Benz full suspension bicycles-of the 1990s, to today’s pick-up trucks and SUV accessories, each and every AMP Research-product has been well conceived, engineered developed by Horst-Leitner, who is the company’s visionary-founder and owner. He was born in a small-town near Salzburg-Austria in the year 1942. He became a top rank off road motorcycle racer, he competed in the FIM Motocross World-Championships in Europe and he won 4 gold medals in-the grueling International 6 Days Enduro, and also captured the Austrian National-Motocross Championships. After he completed his engineering studies-in Graz Austria, Horst Leitner tackled challenge of improving suspension functions of the motorbikes he raced. Horst's efforts resulted-in the A Trak AMP Link chain torque eliminators, inventions which greatly improved ride-quality, handling performance of on and off road motorcycles later, ATVs. Horst Leitner moved his family-to Southern California, center of motorcycle industry, and he lived in a motor-home in California whilst he built his company, ATK-Motorcycles. The ATK machines had huge impact on designs of off road motorcycles of that time with unique combination of four stroke power, smooth chain torque free suspension electric starting. The ATK dominated 4 stroke moto-cross through the 1990s and an ATK-machine won the legendary Barstow to Vegas off road desert-race, competing against various giants which included Yamaha, Honda, and Husqvarna. A Trak equipped Honda-CB750F street bike won 1979-Austrian F.I.M Formula 750 Road-Race, competing against far lighter and more powerful purpose built two stroke race bikes. Since the race was held-in pouring-rain, the added traction control afforded-by the A Trak system allowed its' rider to out-run usual front runners.
In order to make climbing in to the bed-of a pickup much easier, Horst Leitner invented AMP BedStep, which is basically a clever-retractable truck step which is mounted to the frame/bumper attachments at the rear-corner of the car or vehicle which can be easily extended down by a simple flip of a toe or foot so as to facilitate climbing-up or climbing down from a pickup bed, and it retracts under the-rear bumper, almost out-of sight, after use. In Mid 2011, the AMP Research company started shipping BedStep2, which are new side access steps for the pick up truck beds and they mount on either-side, just behind your cab. They provide an easier, faster and much safer route of accessing the toolboxes, the equipment and the cargo in your bed.
