Has anyone tried it yet and any feedback? Also, are you riding 27.5+ or 29″?
Saw one today in Stif and thought it looked sweet. Had wanted a P7s but seems the current stock is gone and I only have until the end of the month for b2w.
I was told it’s similar in attitude to the Stif Morf so the sort of thing I’m looking for so any real world report would be great.
I have one coming soon I hope was meant to arrive weeks ago but as you say Santa Cruz inundated with orders and cannot keep up … I’ve a 2015 chameleon also so if it’s as good as that awesome
A work colleague ordered one back in Feb/March I think, delivery has been put back twice on him, he’s basically going to be bikeless for most of the summer, he reckons the Yanks get first dibbs and the rest of the world can wait apparently… Bit of a shitshow IMO…
Has any customer in the UK actually received a chameleon?
Called other day was told first week in Aug I ordered march also , site showed in stock so I told them I’d cancel as I found out alpine bikes have one in Perth , phoned back 10 mins later and told me I’d get one first week of July , I can hold on I’ve 4 other bikes to ride so fingers crossed il have another in few weeks ….
Ordered a frame a couple of days after they were released. It was supposed to be with the local shop (who are one of the biggest SC dealers) last week but that was delayed. Waiting on an update from Jungle apparently. Pretty sure June was the target date when I ordered mine so not getting grumbly yet. I believe they gave priority to full bikes which makes sense from SCs position.
If I was in the market for a Solaris Max or similar right now the new Chameleon has to be at least considered I think. I remember my old Chameleon well and while this has evolved a long way it would be interesting to find out how it compares to a nice Steel interpretation of the same idea.
I have been pondering the Solaris max the chameleon or the sonder broken road. Decisions decisions. Need a comfortable all day bike for strathpuffer next year. Then the big call on what wheels to go with the 29er or 27.5plus?
I checked with Santa Cruz about the rear brake mount because I wasn’t sure what it came with. Turns out it’s an IS mount, so you will need a adapter if you’ve bought post mount brakes like I have.
My frame’s not arrived yet but Elevation Cycles (Linlithgow) have a full bike in as do Tiso (Alpine Bikes) at Perth, although I think they’re both 27.5.
We’ve got an XL 29er at C6 Bikes in Cambridge. This was ordered in March time and arrived a week ago. We have two large’s on order now due August. The bike was leaked before launch which led to unprecedented pre orders. Worth the wait though!
Thing that seemed too good to be true, turns out to be, too good to be true 🙂
Will give my order a nudge this afternoon, XL frame incoming. Although not sure if my LBS (not where the frame is coming from) has the GX Eagle groupset in yet. Will take a wee ride out this afternoon to visit I think.
Just check that the codes work with c2w as they didn’t for the bike I got.
Was tempted by the chameleon but spec is an issue when compared to similar frames/bikes. I could be convinced a wiz bang full suss frame meant a premium full bike price but not aluminium ht.
