Overview
About this bike
Shred the trails, flow the dirt jumps, smoke your buddies on a singlespeed; own it all with Santa Cruz's Chameleon. Rolling a burly aluminum frame and RockShox's tough Pike fork, this cool ride is ready for everything from marathon XC days to big air. The eccentric bottom bracket and vertical dropouts make it a breeze to switch between single and multiple-speed gearing while keeping the rear disc in perfect alignment. And, with Mavic/Shimano wheels, a SRAM/Shimano drivetrain and Avid Juicy discs, the Chameleon can truly adapt to all riding styles.
