Product Description
Think of the Santa Cruz Chameleon 8 AL 29 S Kit as a blank canvas, ready to go in whatever direction your imagination takes it. Creativity in wheel size, gearing and component choice make it the perfect muse for freethinkers and freedom seekers alike.
Santa Cruz made the Chameleon for riders who like to sculpt their ideal bike, and aren’t afraid to experiment. This crafty Chameleon features a 29" wheelset and a solid and reliable SRAM GX drivetrain. But whether you choose 29er or mixed, geared or fixed, multiple major configuration transformations are made easy via the Chameleon 8's interchangeable dropouts. The low slung top tube and progressive geometry means this bike blends into whatever surroundings you place it. From raucous short-cuts across town to skipping the city altogether. It turns itself to trail exploration with the flip of an Allen key, thanks to the triple-bolt cargo cage mount under the downtube and standard bottle mount within the frame. The plush FOX 34 Float Performance fork will take care of dampening duties.
Whatever the weather, however long the ride, wherever you're going, the Chameleon is so endlessly customizable and adjustable that the only constraint is really your own mind and motivation. See where your Chameleon will take you!
