Adaptable like a (Santa Cruz) chameleon

The name couldn't be more fitting: With the seventh generation of the Chameleon, Santa Cruz is launching an extremely adaptable hardtail. The Californians want to cover a wide range of uses with the new bike, from trail surfing to bikepacking.

Santa Cruz Bicycles presents the seventh generation of the Chameleon. Like its natural role model, the new hardtail is adaptable and, according to the US manufacturer with Dutch owners, can be used universally. Whether for hard trail surfing or for short escapes from everyday life. We are talking about bikepacking, the trend where the bike is loaded with luggage on the frame tubes, saddle and handlebars for trips and overnight stays. Gentle touring is also catered for: the hardtail is designed for forks with 120 to 140 millimetres at the front.

The technical specification (or rather the rear triangle including dropouts) also leaves plenty of room for personal preferences: gears or single speed, comfortable 27.5+ tires or fast 29er wheels, the Chameleon is prepared for all eventualities. As a complete bike, the Chameleon comes as a thoroughbred trail bike, including a low standover height and fun-oriented geo.
