Through the innovation of AMP Research, the world of automotive accessories was exposed to the true concept of artistic integrity aligned with technological practicality. Amp Research was founded via modest origins by Austrian moto-cross racer Hort Leitner. After moving to the United States and settling in California in 1980, Leitner plotted, planned, and produced the beginnings of AMP Research. Building ground-breaking automotive accessories and designing one of the most sleek and ingenious mountain bikes ever sold was just part of the journey to success for AMP Research.
During the 1990s, Leitner focused his interest on improving the mountain bike, creating the much celebrated AMP Research full-suspension bikes. Typified by Leitner's avant-garde four-bar articulating front-fork, energy smart Hort link-rear suspension, and the earliest cable-hydraulic bicycle front disc-brake. This feather light, 100% aluminum bicycle introduced the standard for mountain bike-technology today!
