Please enquire for date availability on Vala GX AXS builds, we're currently sold out and awaiting our next delivery.
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. After more detail? Dip into our first ride review on the bike here.
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.
