The refined Vala in aluminum – quality and performance in a more affordable version for even more riders.

Santa Cruz has unveiled its top-of-the-line Vala ebike with an aluminum frame, but with the same benefits as its carbon sibling – balanced suspension, powerful drive, precise workmanship, and a lifetime warranty on the frame.

For an electric bike made of aluminum, the Vala AL is sufficiently lightweight, and at 24 kg, it is just as agile as its carbon counterpart. The frame is designed to withstand everyday trail riding as well as steep technical terrain. And because simplicity is beauty – and freedom – the aluminum frame was designed without rear flip chips. This eliminates the dilemma of how to tune the geometry, and instead you get a universal golden mean.

Santa Cruz used their previous experience with the VPP system to develop a four-pivot rear suspension with simple levering. It is predictable, increases efficiency, traction and therefore your courage to conquer increasingly difficult terrain. The Bosch Performance Line CX drivetrain system is the leader in the market and in the latest version is even quieter, lighter and more compact. The Vala e-bike drive offers 4 standard modes: Eco, Tour, eMTB and Turbo.

The system is powered by a 600 Wh battery integrated into the bottom frame tube to reduce weight, noise and volume. The power unit delivers up to 85 Nm of torque, 600 W of power and weighs just 2.8 kg.

Recent software update significantly increases torque to 100 Nm and power to 750 W!
