Santa Cruz Vala

The MX configuration—a 29-inch front wheel paired with a 27.5-inch rear—is designed to give you the best of both worlds. The larger front wheel rolls over obstacles and maintains stability at speed, while the smaller rear wheel keeps the bike agile and easier to maneuver through tight, technical trail sections.

With 85Nm of torque, the Bosch Performance CX motor provides significant assistance on steep, technical ascents. It is tuned to deliver power smoothly and naturally, helping you maintain traction and momentum even when the trail gets challenging.

The Shimano Di2 system is highly reliable and requires very little maintenance compared to traditional cable-actuated systems. Because it is wireless, you don't have to worry about cable stretch or housing contamination, though you will need to keep the system's battery charged.

The 600Wh battery offers a strong balance between range and weight, making it capable of handling most full-day trail rides. While your actual range will vary based on your assist mode, rider weight, and terrain, it provides ample power for significant vertical gain.

The 150mm of rear travel, paired with the FOX Float X Factory shock, provides a plush, controlled feel that excels on rough, technical descents. It is designed to soak up big hits while remaining supportive enough to pedal efficiently on flatter, rolling terrain.

Yes, Santa Cruz's Carbon C construction is engineered specifically for the demands of mountain biking, offering a high strength-to-weight ratio. It is built to withstand the stresses of aggressive trail riding and the added weight of an e-bike system without sacrificing stiffness or handling precision.
