As the name implies, the Santa Cruz Bicycles Chameleon A R 29 Complete Mountain Bike can take on many moods. An aluminum hardtail that's beefy enough for trail riding, but plenty quick to enter an XC race, it's blazing fast and loads of fun. With Boost spacing and clearance for 3.0" wide tires, you can set it up as a competition-level 29er, go all-out on the grip and bikepack with 27.5+ wheels, or anywhere in between. Swappable dropouts make conversions a breeze, whether you're going single speed or geared, 27.5 or 29". With Fox's Rhythm 34 120mm fork on a ridiculously compliant and playful frame, this is a perfectly proportioned hardtail that doesn't shy away from busting genres. Truly more than the sum of its parts, the Chameleon is ready to become your favorite bike.
