Santa Cruz Chameleon Alloy 7.1 27.5 Mountain Bike Frame 2020
The Santa Cruz Chameleon Alloy 27.5+ Mountain Bike Frame has been a part of the Santa Cruz stable for several years thanks to its versatility and enthusiastic do-it-all spirit. Feeling just at home on aggressive trails and jump lines as it does fully laden while navigating dusty tracks, the Chameleon is suitable for any off-road adventure or riding style.
The alloy frame and balanced geometry provide a lively, robust and efficient ride character across the rockiest of paths, the most sinuous of trails or when transporting tents and luggage. The 27.5+ wheelset compatibility and corresponding 3-inch tyre clearance then promise a final build oozing traction and comfort even across the loosest of terrain. A threaded bottom bracket shell guarantees a serene, no-squeak performance and low maintenance before compatibility with aftermarket, swappable dropouts enables the use of 29-inch wheels and a single-speed setup should preferences or conditions dictate a change.
Completing what is already a comprehensive chassis are bottle cage bolts inside the main triangle, a triple mount configuration for cargo carrying duties and a noise-cancelling chainstay protector.
