The Santa Cruz Chameleon S AL MX is a versatile hardtail trail bike built for riders who want a playful, adaptable platform that can handle everything from technical singletrack to jump lines and aggressive trail riding, pairing an aluminum frame with mixed-wheel (mullet) geometry that blends front-end stability with rear-end agility. This build features a SRAM GX Eagle drivetrain paired with a 5DEV R-SPEC crankset and an absoluteBLACK oval chainring for efficient power delivery and improved traction on climbs, while a Fox Factory 34 fork adds high-end suspension performance and control. A OneUp carbon handlebar and Industry Nine A35 stem refine cockpit stiffness and responsiveness, and a Stan’s Flow wheelset laced to Industry Nine Hydra hubs delivers durability with fast engagement. The result is a lively, capable hardtail setup designed for riders who want to push their riding across varied and technical terrain.
