Why the Santa Cruz Vala?

Get ready to meet the Santa Cruz Vala, the ultimate fusion of power, performance, and pure trail-blazing excitement. This isn’t just an e-bike; it’s a full-power beast that embodies Santa Cruz's legendary precision, handling, and durability—now with an electrifying twist.

At the heart of the Vala is the powerhouse Bosch Performance Line CX motor, dishing out a whopping 85Nm of torque for a ride that feels unstoppable that's paired to a 600Wh battery. Whether you're charging up steep climbs or conquering epic descents, the Vala’s 150mm rear and 160mm front suspension travel ensures the ride stays silky smooth, no matter how rough the terrain gets.

The Vala is running a mixed-wheel (MX) setup—29 inches up front, 27.5 in the rear—engineered to maximize control and playfulness. Even with the added heft of the motor and battery, this unique configuration keeps you nimble and confident.

Available in both the premium CC and durable C carbon frames, every model of the Vala weighs in at under 50 lbs—light for an e-bike, but heavy on performance. Whether you're a seasoned rider or looking to power up your off-road game, the Santa Cruz Vala is here to elevate every ride into something unforgettable.

Frame Sizing

The sizing chart is a great place to start when picking your next bike but everyone will fit a bike a bit differently. Your torso, arm, and leg lengths all play into what size of bike you may need. Plus, there's your own personal preference.

We always recommend swinging by the shop and taking the bike that you're looking for a spin to see how it feels. If you're unable to come by, looking at the geometry of your current bike and comparing it is a good place to start. If you have any further questions, our customer service team is there to help.
