The Chameleon R MX rolls out of the factory on a mullet setup with a small 27.5 inch rear wheel. Santa Cruz is taking no risks when it comes to its bike handling. The moderate geometry data conveys a balanced handling. When sitting in the saddle, the posture is neither overly sporty, nor uber-comfortable. This should make the Trailbike von Santa Cruz suite the taste of most bikers. On climbs, other bikes in the under 3000 Euro present a little better performance than the Santa Cruz Hardtail. Finally, we must emphasize one thing: at a price of 2499 Euro , the competitors usually install lesser shifting components. We like: 25 years warranty on the frame! Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Santa Cruz Hardtail sizing runs small.
