AMP Research produced the B3 bike in 1999 and can be classified as a Mountain bike bicycle, this exact model costs in american market arround $1,275.00.
AMP Research Mountain bike B3 can be found in one single color which is Black.
This bike is equiped with 26 x 1.90" Hutchinson On The Rocks tires and DT stainless steel spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Sun Rims CR18, 32-hole. AMP Research equiped this exact model with AMP D1 Hydraulic Disc Brake System brakes, Shimano Alivio levers braking system and Front: AMP Research D1, Rear: Shimano STX-RC hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride AMP Research used Alcoa Alcalyte 6013 T6 aluminum material for the frame. Hsin Lung aluminum high strength material is used on the handlebar of this B3 to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Hsin Lung aluminum.
For the smoothest biking experience Shimano Alivio, 22/32/42 teeth is used on this bicycle linked to Shimano CN-IG90 chain that is easily replaceable as stated by AMP Research, the whole system is connected to a high reliability Shimano Alivio RapidFire SL gear shift levers.
