Santa Cruz Vala C S

The Santa Cruz Vala C S Kit is setting a new standard for full-power e-mountain bikes, combining cutting-edge technology with the renowned craftsmanship of Santa Cruz. Built for riders who crave power, agility, and superior suspension, the Vala C S Kit features an impressive array of components designed to tackle any trail with ease. Its frame is constructed from Santa Cruz’s legendary C Carbon, known for its strength, durability, and lightweight characteristics. This ensures that even with its powerful motor and battery, the bike remains agile and responsive.

At the heart of the Vala is the Bosch Performance Line CX motor, delivering a robust 85 Nm of torque. This class-leading motor provides powerful assistance on the steepest climbs, making even the toughest ascents feel manageable. Paired with a 600Wh internal battery, the Vala is optimized for long rides and high performance, giving riders the confidence to explore further. For those looking to extend their adventures, the bike is compatible with the optional 250Wh PowerMore range extender, offering extra power without adding bulk or compromising handling.

The suspension setup is another highlight, featuring 150mm of rear travel and a 160mm travel fork. This combination ensures the bike remains nimble over rough terrain while providing plenty of cushioning for technical descents. The Vala’s new four-bar suspension design is tailored specifically for e-biking, offering improved kinematics and a smooth, active suspension feel whether you’re pedaling hard or navigating steep drops. With reduced pedal kickback and stable braking performance, the suspension delivers comfort and control in all conditions.

Santa Cruz has engineered the Vala to excel in handling with its mixed-wheel (MX) setup, which combines a 29” front wheel for stability with a 27.5” rear wheel for agility. This mixed-wheel approach allows the bike to remain stable on fast descents while retaining the maneuverability needed for technical sections. Add in the flip-chip geometry that allows riders to adjust the bike’s progression to their preference, and the Vala offers maximum versatility on the trail.

Practical features are woven throughout the Vala’s design. The bike incorporates in-frame storage, making it easy to carry essentials like a tube, multi-tool, or CO2 canister. This system ensures that riders are prepared for anything without the need for extra gear strapped to the frame. Additionally, the bike is designed to accommodate longer dropper posts, up to 210mm on larger sizes, enhancing comfort and control during descents.

The attention to detail in the Santa Cruz Vala C S Kit extends to its durability and reliability. Santa Cruz uses large ball bearings designed to resist contamination, ensuring longer-lasting performance and reduced maintenance needs. This, along with the bike’s centered and low battery placement, contributes to its balanced handling, making it feel natural and responsive even on the most demanding trails.

With its powerful Bosch motor, advanced suspension system, and thoughtful design features, the Santa Cruz Vala C S Kit is built for riders looking to elevate their e-mountain biking experience. Whether you're tackling steep climbs, flowing through technical descents, or pushing the limits on long rides, the Vala delivers the performance, handling, and durability that Santa Cruz is known for. This is more than just an e-bike—it’s a trail-shredding machine that’s ready to take on any challenge.
