Vala AL Deore

The Vala AL delivers on all of the benefits of the Vala – poised suspension, high-quality parts, and legendary Santa Cruz reliability and warranty support – but in a package within reach of more riders.

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, 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.
• MX Wheels: The 29" front wheel maintains momentum and clears obstacles, while the compact rear ensures quick transitions and smooth technical lines.
• No Fuss: Geo and progression are set to ‘mid’ setting for Vala AL
