Santa Cruz Bicycles Chameleon MX D Mountain Bike

Description

Built to tackle whatever kind of riding we can dream up, the Santa Cruz Chameleon MX is our go-to hardtail for everything from urban adventures to ripping hot laps after work. The updated geometry and mixed-wheel setup lets this bike turn even the most mundane trails into a good time. The longer and slacker geometry features a 65-degree headtube angle inspiring extra confidence on the steep stuff, and a long wheelbase for stability at speed. The 29-inch wheel up front keeps us rolling over chunky terrain with ease, while the 27. 5-inch wheel out back keeps things playful for side hits, urban jibs, and drawn-out manuals. The Chameleon MX D is built to be downright reliable. The SRAM Eagle 12-speed drivetrain is outfitted with a wide 11-50t cassette to handle the shifting duties and a 130mm RockShox Rekon RL fork up front for smashing through rocks, roots, and chunder. The frame also gets ISCG-05 tabs for mounting a chain guard for those of us daring enough to take our hardtail to an enduro race and three different water bottle cage mounting options for when we want to run a frame bag. From bikepacking to taking on lines better suited to an enduro bike, the Santa Cruz Chameleon MX D Mountain Bike truly lives up to its namesake. *Due to a high demand in the global supply chain and bike industry since the start of the pandemic, material weight and exact components are subject to change.
