Key Features

Aluminum Alloy FrameWith alloy bikes, you get all the ride performance of Santa Cruz's carbon bikes but at a lower price point. They try to integrate similar features (like internal cable routing, flip chips, geometry) and still offer the legendary Santa Cruz lifetime warranty too.

Travel130mm Front

Wheel Size | 29'Options for full 29 or MX setups means you can opt for speed and comfort for hauling or quick and nimble handling. Bike comes standard with 29" wheels.

Single Speed or GearsAdjustable dropouts make it a multi-geared trail charger to single-speed racer to bikepacking mule...and pretty much anything imaginable in between.

A Mule That RulesTougher and stronger than any race horse, the Chameleon blends stamina with agility to create a whole new kind of beast. A triple-bolt cargo cage mount under the downtube and additional mount within the frame ensures the Chameleon is ready to play wherever The Wild Things Are.
