Santa Cruz Vala 1 AL MX 70

The Santa Cruz Vala 1 AL MX 70 brings full power electric performance to the heart of the trail with a premium all-new aluminum chassis, refined suspension kinematics, and the latest Bosch drive system. Built around a mixed wheel setup, 150mm of rear travel, and a 160mm fork, the Vala AL is purpose-built for serious riders who want confidence on the descents and support on the climbs.

At its core is the Bosch Performance Line CX motor delivering 85Nm of torque, paired with a 600Wh integrated battery for big days and big terrain. Compatible with the Bosch PowerMore 250Wh range extender, it’s ready for even longer missions. The updated VPP-based 4-bar suspension layout is tuned specifically for electric mountain biking, providing active pedaling support, strong braking performance, and plush travel through rough trail.

The Vala AL rolls on a mixed wheel (MX) platform, 29" up front for stability and 27.5" out back for quick handling, giving riders the best of both worlds. Size-specific chainstays ensure the ride feel is consistent across the range, while internal frame storage and long dropper compatibility bring practical, ride-enhancing details into the spotlight.
