Santa Cruz Chameleon Carbon C 29" Mountain Bike Frameset 2020
The Santa Cruz Chameleon Carbon C 29” Mountain Bike Frameset is the result of a recent, rapid evolutionary process. Taking a brand favourite and reimagining it with a full carbon construction has conceived a new character brimming with versatility and adventure that is ready for aggressive trails, jump lines or fully laden bike-packing expeditions.
The new full carbon frame utilises all of Santa Cruz’s knowledge in composite engineering and features a specific construction that is manipulated to promote strength, stiffness and efficiency while maintaining plush levels of comfort-inducing compliance. Utilising 29-inch wheels, the chassis will clear tyres of up to 2.5” in width permitting a potential build that will roll over and grip any terrain. Aftermarket swappable dropouts then extend versatility further by facilitating the use of 27.5+ wheels and geared or single-speed configurations should preferences or conditions dictate.
Bottle cage mounts inside the main triangle and a triple mount under the downtube for cargo carrying duties complete a frameset that’s oozing potential fun and adventure.
Highlights
- A do-it-all, versatile 29er hardtail for aggressive trail riding, jump lines, bike-packing and anything in-between

- Threaded bottom bracket for convenience and ease of maintenance
