A super light but super capable full power EMTB, the Santa Cruz Vala combines a 160mm Fox 38 with 150mm of four-bar rear travel and an MX wheel setup to create a real riders bike handling almost like an SL but without the compromises to power and range.
Powered by the brand new Bosch CX system, the Vala uses a 600W integrated battery to keep the centre of gravity of low and central for incredible handling in technical terrain, but can also be fitted with a 250W range extender, taking the bike to a massive 850W capacity for the truly epic days out.
A first for Santa Cruz, the four bar linkage delivers low anti squat for amazing climbing traction and neutral manners under braking and a modern geometry set ensures perfect handling across the sizes. Ride far, fast or hard, the Vala can take it all on.
