Dirt or asphalt, mountain or urban, geared or singlespeed—the moniker Chameleon has never rang more true than on this Santa Cruz classic. On either 29-inch or 27.5+ wheels, the Chameleon shifts from trail-worthy hardtail to bikepacker to garbage-weather weapon of choice with simple, elegant aplomb. The wheel change is accomplished via interchangeable dropouts, and there's a singlespeed version for each wheel size. The Chameleon 27+ Aluminum D comes equipped with a RockShox Recon RL 120mm fork, along with a SRAM 1x NX groupset and Level brakes that offer solid performance in a mid-level package.
