Versatile.

As its color-shifting name suggests, the Santa Cruz Chameleon R Complete 2015 Mountain Bike is a highly versatile hardtail capable of blending into any terrain, regardless of whether you're carving berms, launching bike park features, or dissecting steep rock gardens. New for 2015, you'll find 27.5-inch wheels for attacking trail obstacles with increased rollover clearance, without sacrificing the nimble feel of its 26-inch roots. Equipped with Santa Cruz's "R" build, this complete mountain bike features a blend of reliable and nicely spec'd parts.


The Chameleon features massive aluminum 6066 tubes along the rear triangle for high levels of stiffness and power transfer. The larger diameters are stiffer, allowing the designers at Santa Cruz to engineer the Chameleon with ultra-thin tubing walls for reduced weight. Gussets along the front end enhance strength and stiffness for precise steering and handling. Plus, you'll find a relatively slack 67.3-degree head tube angle that inspires confidence on treacherous downhill sections and high-speed descents. Ultimately, the Chameleon constantly begs riders to push their personal limits, whether you're honing your skills in the bike park or crushing techy, rock-strewn trails.


The complete "R" kit comes with a Rockshox Pike RC 130 Fork with 130mm of plush travel and beefy 35mm stanchions, allowing you to crush through rock gardens and off-camber sections with ease. Its 12x142mm rear thru-axle (also found on "D" kit) lends extra stiffness to the bike when you're tossing it into gnarly sections of trail. Its Shimano XT rear derailleur provides crisp, reliable shifting without chain slap, thanks to its Shadow Plus clutch mechanism. The rest of the drivetrain is made up of Shimano SLX parts and a SRAM X5 front derailleur. Additionally, you'll find tubeless-ready 23mm-wide WTB rims hugged by Maxxis High Roller II EVO tires for tenacious grip.
