Chameleon R
Sizing & Geometry
If you're on the cusp between the recommended height range of two sizes, the absolute best thing is to try to ride them both. At a minimum, check the stack/reach measurements on your current bike and compare it to the new model you are looking at to get an idea of a fit you are already comfortable with. If riding the bike is not an option, consider the following.
| s | m | l | xl | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A. Reach | 420 | 445 | 465 | 490 |
| B. Stack | 620.1 | 629.2 | 638.2 | 647.3 |

Learn MoreWe build Santa Cruz bicycles to be durable and long lasting, and then back them up with legendary support and a warranty of the highest standard.
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.
