Vala CC XX AXS Lite Reserve

Vala Lite's Lightweight build bridges the gap to Heckler SL, ideal for less-aggressive riders or those in more mellow terrain.

The goal was simple: develop the best-handling, full-power e-MTB possible. 

Powered by the industry-leading Bosch Performance Line CX Motor 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 (Now user upgradeable to 100 Nm torque & 750 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.
• Decoupled Flip-Chips: The geo chip raises or lowers the BB 4mm, and adjust the headtube angle 0.3-degrees. The progression chip changes the progression from 26-29%.
• MX Wheels: The 29" front wheel maintains momentum and clears obstacles, while the compact rear ensures quick transitions and smooth technical lines.
• Details Matter: Chainstays are longer. But is also matched to frame size to ensure that every rider, regardless of bike size, gets a consistent, responsive feel. Additionally, each bike is Spec'd with a longer dropper post (180mm on med, 210mm on large).   
• Lifetime Warranty: The legendary Santa Cruz fit, finish and quality construction put this into a league of its own. The frame, bearings and optional Reserve wheels come with a lifetime warranty and any service is easy to do with their Rider Support pledge.
