One Platform. Three Ways to Ride.
The Santa Cruz Vala platform has always been about the way it rides.
Now available in three distinct builds, it gives riders a clearer way to choose—whether that means a lighter feel, all-around versatility, or a more accessible entry into eMTB. The result is a lineup tuned to how you ride, without changing what makes Vala so capable.
VALA LITE
Who's The Rider?
Riders who want a lighter, more natural ride feel, with the efficiency to go longer and the agility to stay playful on the trail.
On The Trail
Vala Lite delivers the same full-power feel in a lighter, more responsive build, making it quicker to accelerate, easier to handle, and more agile through technical terrain. You feel the difference on the trail when you lift, turn, and push a bit harder, with a more natural feel that stays efficient on longer rides.
VALA
Who's The Rider?
Riders who want one bike that can handle everything—from everyday rides to more aggressive terrain.
On The Trail
Balanced and capable, Vala combines Bosch Performance Line CX power with confident suspension and geometry. It climbs with authority, carries speed through rough sections, and stays planted when the terrain gets steep or unpredictable.
VALA ALUMINUM
Who's The Rider?
Riders looking to step into a full-power eMTB with proven performance at a more approachable price.
On The Trail
Vala AL delivers the same core ride experience, with a durable alloy build designed to handle regular use and varied terrain. It brings full Bosch CX power and confident handling in a straightforward, no-frills setup.
Performance Redefined
Unleash more power for your Vala. With the Bosch Performance Upgrade 2.0, select Santa Cruz models can now unlock up to 120 Nm of torque, delivering added support on steep climbs and technical terrain. Fine-tune your ride through the eBike Flow app for power when you need it and efficiency when you don’t. Available for Bosch CX–equipped bikes as a free over-the-air update.
