Strengths:
Strong. Single pivot with grease ports. Looks awesome.Weaknesses:
No replaceable rear mech hanger (but I think the new models have). Bad positioning of rear brake bosses - get a disc, the frame has mounts for themBottom Line: This is a great frame. With 4.5 or rear travel it rips downhill, it's also very good on tight sigletrack. I'd reccomend getting a lockout rear shock cos I hear it bobs uphill also get a rear disc brake. I use V-brakes and the spring return is lousy due to dirt getting in the cable cos its right by the bottom bracket. Overall, a joy to ride.

Strengths:
solid frame, well built,Bottom Line: This Bike is a huge improvement in handling quality over the amp b-5. It handles very good in technical single track and is very fast in the downhills. Good durable bike with great handling characteristics. I rode my amp for a year and a half. The lenz is like a hardtail for stiffness compared to the amp. The suspension is a much better design and functions much better. No more blown out shocks! Highly recomended.
