Product Details
The Santa Cruz Vala 1 CCC MX XT Di2 Lite RSV brings full-power electric performance to the heart of the trail with a premium all-new carbon 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 is purpose-built for serious riders who want confidence on the descents and support on the climbs without sacrificing the traditional trail riding experience.
At its core is the Bosch Performance CX BDU38 motor delivering 85Nm of torque, paired with a 600Wh integrated PowerTube battery for big days and big terrain. Compatible with the Bosch PowerMore 250Wh range extender, it's ready for even longer missions when adventure calls. 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 trails while maintaining the playful, responsive character Santa Cruz is known for.
The Vala CC rolls on a mixed wheel (MX) platform with 29" up front for stability and rollover capability, and 27.5" out back for quick, nimble handling, giving riders the best of both worlds. The FOX 36 Float Factory fork and FOX Float X Factory shock deliver premium suspension performance with precise damping control, while the Shimano Deore XT M8260 Di2 drivetrain provides crisp, reliable electronic shifting. Size-specific chainstays ensure consistent ride feel across the range, while internal frame storage and long dropper compatibility bring practical, ride-enhancing details into focus.
Perfect for riders seeking the ultimate combination of carbon performance and electric assistance, the Vala 1 CC features Reserve 30|HD carbon wheels with DT Swiss 350 hubs for lightweight strength and reliable performance across demanding terrain. This represents Santa Cruz's commitment to creating electric mountain bikes that enhance rather than compromise the trail riding experience, delivering confidence, capability, and Santa Cruz's legendary ride quality in an electric package.
