Carbon, Carbon, Carbon, Carbon….Carbon Chameleon!!

Carbon, Carbon, Carbon, Carbon….Carbon Chameleon!!

The Chameleon from Santa Cruz has long been one of the most versatile hardtail mountain bikes on the market. As at home in the local skills park, as it is out on a cross-country bikepacking adventure, Chameleon fills a lot of needs for a lot of riders! But until now the Chameleon was only available in an Alloy version. And, while the Aluminum Chameleon is an amazing bike, some riders wanted more.

Enter the new Santa Cruz Carbon Chameleon!

Now, you get the same versatility and ripability of the Aluminum Chameleon in the all-new Chameleon Carbon! Chameleon is now even lighter, stiffer, faster, and funner!

Chameleon is aptly named because of its ability to change to suit the environment that it finds itself in. Chameleon can run up to 29″x2.5″ or 27.5″x3″ tires and wheels.

Chameleon has adjustable dropouts that allow you to run it geared or single-speed. However you like to ride, Chameleon is up to the challenge!

Those same dropouts allow you to fine-tune how you want the Chameleon to ride. Whether you want it to ride like a workhorse bike packing rig, a big-hitting trail bike, or a fast and sleek single-speed racer, Chameleon can be fine-tuned however you want it!
