Press Release

Make it Your Own - 2022 Santa Cruz Chameleon Line 7

29er or mixed wheel. Singlespeed or geared. Trail shredder or a work tool. The Santa Cruz Chameleon is back and has all sorts of new tricks.

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.

Whatever the weather, however long the ride, wherever you're going, the Chameleon is so endlessly customizable and adjustable that the only constraint is really your own mind and motivation. 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.


As part of the launch, Santa Cruz handed over five Chameleon's to five individuals to sculpt in their own way. Some use them for unique purposes, others wanted to make their bike utterly distinct.
