Description

BUILT FOR… WHATEVER
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 configuration 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 in.

FUN-LOVING SPIRIT
The low slung top tube and progressive geometry provide all-trail capability. From raucous shortcuts across town to skipping the city altogether, the Chameleon is built to shred in any environment.

A MULE THAT RULES
Tougher and stronger than any race horse, the Chameleon blends stamina with agility to create a whole new kind of beast. A triple-bolt cargo cage mount under the downtube and additional mount within the frame ensures the Chameleon is ready to play wherever The Wild Things Are.

Size Chart

Size	Rider height (in)	Rider height (cm)
Small	5'1" - 5'5"	154cm - 165cm
Medium	5'5" - 5'9"	165cm - 175cm
Large	5'9" - 6'1"	175cm - 185cm

XX-Large	6'4" - 6'7"	193cm - 200cm

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.

A larger size frame will be more stable, and will give you more room to move without upsetting the weight-balance of the bike. The larger size will put the front wheel further in front of you, which gives the feeling of security and conversely, it will require more significant body movements when you WANT to shift the weight-bias of the bike. Think hard about your riding style and how active/intuitive you want it to be vs stable and speedy. You'll need to work a bit harder to muscle the larger bike around.

Not all bodies at a given height are the same. If you have longer legs and a shorter torso than the average person your height, that may push you towards the smaller of the recommended sizes. If you're all torso and arms, most likely you'll want to size up.
