Santa Cruz 2024 Chameleon 8 Al 29 - Matte Blackout - (Frame Only)

We made the Chameleon for riders who like to sculpt their ideal bike, and aren’t afraid to experiment. Whether 29er or mixed, geared or fixed, multiple major configuration transformations are made easy via the interchangeable dropouts. The low slung top tube and progressive geometry means this bike blends into whatever surroundings you place it. From raucous short-cuts across town to skipping the city altogether. It turns itself to trail exploration with the flip of an Allen key, thanks to the triple-bolt cargo cage mount under the downtube and standard bottle mount within the frame.

The design is a versatile platform built for customization: modern, trail-ready geometry that still rides comfortably in urban environments, and modular dropouts that let you switch wheel sizes and drivetrains without compromise. Thoughtful mounting points and robust construction make it ideal for commuting, bikepacking, or a focused off-road build.

Lightweight yet durable construction balances agility and strength, while the clear focus on adaptability gives you the freedom to spec the bike to your style—gravel, single-speed, or full-suspension complement-ready setups. If you want a responsive, go-anywhere foundation that rewards tinkering and exploration, this chassis delivers.
