The goal was simple: develop the best-handling, full-power e-MTB possible.

Powered by the industry-leading Bosch Performance Line CX Motor (600Wh) and crafted with Santa Cruz's signature suspension feel, the new Santa Cruz Vala offers supreme balance between stability and agility. This time, opting to use a different suspension system to achieve their goals, the Vala finds the sweet spot for both precision and power, making even the toughest rides feel effortless. Whether navigating steep, technical climbs or bombing rugged descents, the Vala keeps you in control, no matter the trail.

FEATURES:

  • Bosch Performance Line CX Motor: With 85 Nm torque and 600 watts peak power (Now user upgradeable to 100 Nm torque & 750 watts peak power), this system delivers a smooth, powerful ride with quiet, responsive performance, smart display, wireless controls, seamless Bosch Flow App integration, and proven reliability.
  • Optimized Battery: A 600Wh fixed battery optimizes weight (2.2lbs lighter) and performance, with an optional 250Wh PowerMore Range Extender for longer trips, offering better range in a compact size.
  • Familiar Handling: 150mm rear travel, 160mm fork travel, and an improved 4-bar suspension design for superior ride comfort, reduced anti-squat, and significant gains in anti-rise (braking) performance.
  • Decoupled Flip-Chips: 1The geo chip raises or lowers the BB 4mm, and adjust the headtube angle 0.3-degrees. The progression chip changes the progression from 26-29%.
  • MX Wheels: The 29" front wheel maintains momentum and clears obstacles, while the compact rear ensures quick transitions and smooth technical lines.
  • Details Matter: Chainstays are longer. But is also matched to frame size to ensure that every rider, regardless of bike size, gets a consistent, responsive feel. Additionally, each bike is Spec'd with a longer dropper post (180mm on med, 210mm on large).   
  • Lifetime Warranty: The legendary Santa Cruz fit, finish and quality construction put this into a league of its own. The frame, bearings and optional Reserve wheels come with a lifetime warranty and any service is easy to do with their Rider Support pledge.

Absolutely loving it1

"Been riding a Santa Cruz Hightower LT for a few years now and was worried it wouldnt feel “santa cruz” do to the four bar. Big fan of how specialized MTBs ride so made the leap. Overal super happy with the purchase and definitely recommend springing for the AXS / transmission drivetrain. Jumps really well and amazing stable."

Great Service & communication & patience with a very excited customer

"I ordered my Vala in October with an anticipated ship date of early November. Unfortunately due to circumstances out of Mikes Bikes control the shipping kept getting pushed back. I was super excited to get the bike and was probably a huge pain the ass to the team there, with weekly check in emails, but they maintained such an awesome attitude throughout the whole process. When it became apparent that my original order wasnt going to ship until much later in 2025, I worked with Khalil (who is a rockstar!) to adjust my order. I got the bike on Christmas Eve, (Thanks SANTA-FED-EX) and have fell in love with mountain biking all over again. Thank you thank you thank you team!!"
