  • What size chameleon do you ride?

    Was looking at their sizing charts, and it says that for my height (5″7) I should be riding a medium – which only has a 16″ seat tube, which sounds a bit short. How tall are you, and what size do you ride?

    5’10” on a medium (mk4) but am thinking now it’s too small

    5’10” on a large. Fit’s fine. I’d get a medium if I were you

    Depends what you’ll use it for, mate’s got a Cham. and is under an inch shy of 6ft, he used it for Hardtail DH and had a medium which was perfect, still has the medium but it’s xc/trail kit now and he’d rather a large…

    5’8″ and a small is perfect for ripping up the trails.

    Did a 76km enduro and a 12 solo on it, no comfort issues..

    5′ 11″ on a medium (latest model) – a wee bit shortish but better to flick around and launch off stuff, and it loves that style of riding.

    Put a thomson layback on it – perfect!

    5 foot 11 and I had a large. It was too big for razzing round the woods for a couple of hours – shoulda got the medium.

    Moral? Depends what you want it for – razzing, go smaller; XC, go bigger.

    6′ and I have a large frame. Use it more for XC than downhill and I reckon it fits me perfectly. Also had slicks on it for commuting and just away to go for a tour using a trailer.

    I used to ride medium- prefer it to be honest but Im err 6ft2. Dont know why but mediums seems soo much more alive/whippy than a large- almost as though the large’s figures dont work as well?

    Depends on what you want to use it for, and how tall you are, surely?

    I know- but (for me) it feels ungainly compared to the medium. Its not just numbers as some smaller frames just feel wrong- the medium chameleon seems ‘right’.
