    Summary

    Expirience with the Santa Cruz CHAMELEON D / AL / MX

    Santa Cruz CHAMELEON D / AL / MX Review The CHAMELEON D rolls out of the factory on a mullet setup with a small 27.5 inch rear wheel. We have checked all geometry measures and come to the following conclusion: the Santa Cruz Trailbike is a very balanced customer. The seating position can be described neither as sporty nor as comfortable. It has a moderate character. If you love crisp downhill runs, there are other Trailbike around under 3000 Euro that would suit you better. With 25 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship. Caution when selecting the size: the Aluminium frame sizing runs small.
