The Airnimal Chameleon
The Chameleon is a unique product - a folding bike that performs with
the best conventional bikes. It features three levels of fold - remarkably,
the smallest enabling it to fit in the CARRY-ON dimensions of most major airlines
- yet performs well enough to be first choice in many major CYCLING EVENTS.
The Chameleon is distinguished by a heat treated 7005 aluminium SUSPENDED
FRAME and 24" IS0 520 wheels, which, with the carefully designed geometry,
combine to make a light, stiff, fine handling bike. The suspended rear triangle
has its pivot placement optimised to give a 'unified rear triangle' - which
means that no power is wasted in compressing the suspension during the pedal
stroke.
So well does the Chameleon perform that many riders use it for their most
important events and challenges. Chameleons have not only been used for self
contained tours across the US and around the world, but also have been ridden
to PBs, climbed the highest surfaced road in the world, completed the Etape
ham du Tour and the Paris Brest, and, recently, ridden to a medal in the World
Triathlon Championship. But the Chameleon is not just about looking for limits,
it is perfect for commuting, utility and fun riding.
In folding terms, whatever your need from a folding bike, the Chameleon has
the answers. 30 seconds sees it folded ready to go in the car or on the train.
3 minutes and it is folded into a suitcase ready for checking onto a plane.
Finally, for the truly peripatetic traveller, is the third, 'carry-on' fold
- 15 minutes and the Chameleon is folded into a rucksack which can be carried-on
to a plane and then used as a rack pack or rolled into a pannier.
Travelling with a favourite bike no longer needs to be a stressful experience.
The Chameleon opens up new opportunities and riders all over the world are
experiencing the joy of riding a beautiful bike wherever they go.
