Santa Cruz. Less slack and good suspension length, though will probably require high rise stem and or bars to be comfortable. Rear rack like an aerie, tetrarack etc and let er rip.

Is the Santa Cruz carbon? I had a 2021 and the bb sleeve delaminated. This has been a known issue with the bikes and I would avoid for sure

I really wouldn’t choose either of those unless your planning on trails the whole time and even then I’d look at a rigid mtb before either of these two.

Between those 2, I’d go with the Chameleon for sure.
What kind of terrain are you thinking? Like, what sort of routes?
Both of these are pretty slack MTBs that will be great if you’re planning on mainly single-track off road riding. Both of these will be very slow on gravel roads or tarmac.
