The boys and girls at Santa Cruz bicycles have recently released their newly updated do it all shredder the 2013 season upon us, the newest Chameleon hardtail version. They have decided to do away with the days of old and the outdated eccentric bottom bracket and put in it’s place some new replaceable style rear dropouts, this is sweet in our opinion because that 2012 eccentric bottom bracket was a maintenance headache. S there’s no more adjusting that sagging droopy chain after every time out on the dirt.

The Southern California company has also modernized the ride a fare amount by opting for a tapered head tube as well on the hard tail frame, along with a bit longer top tube and nicely integrated ISCG chain guide mounts, they have also slackened the head tube by 1 degree, which sounds like a recipe for an absolute blast out on the trail.

Check out the S.C. Chameleon video below to get better understanding of this amazing mountain bike. Possibly this is the bike to learn how to blast the same, berm shots, wooden transitions, and sandy corners that Ratboy and Steve Peat rip in the vid.….

The pricing is available to the right, along with geometry specs are at the bottom of the page, have fun and shred safe…
