Santa Cruz Chameleon Carbon C 27.5+ Mountain Bike Frame 2020

An evolution of a design classic, the Santa Cruz Chameleon Carbon C 27.5+ Mountain Bike Frame adds a full carbon construction to the already fun-loving and versatile traits of previous iterations. The result is a chassis set for thundering down jump lines, bike-packing adventures and everything in-between.

The full carbon frame draws on all of Santa Cruz’s composite design knowhow to manipulate the material lay-up via a specific pattern to afford strength, efficiency and compliance. The resulting ride features snappy handling, trail resilience and natural comfort for sinuous singletrack and rock-strewn downhills alike. Configured for use with 27.5+ wheelsets the tyre clearance of the frame goes all the way up to 3-inches granting maximum grip across the loosest of terrain. Alternative, aftermarket dropouts are also available to facilitate the use of 29” wheels or a single-speed setup thus increasing the versatility of the Chameleon even further.

An ultimately inspirational chassis is then completed with bottle cage mounts inside the main triangle and a triple mount under the downtube for cargo carrying duties on multi-day expeditions.
