2026 Santa Cruz Vala 1 AL 70-Kit MX

The Vala is a full-power ebike that delivers precision and power. It’s made for riders looking for focused performance on the best trails. Perfectly balanced, refined suspension and the finest quality construction, as always.

Includes;

• Aluminum Frame
• RockShox Zeb Base Fork
• RockShox Super Deluxe Base Shock
• SRAM 70 Eagle T-Type Drivetrain
• Bosch Performance CX BDU38 Drive Unit
  

Also includes Santa Cruz lifetime frame warranty and free replacement pivot bearings to the original owner for as long as you own your bike.

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

The four-bar suspension is predictable and confidence-inspiring, and the Bosch Performance CX Line motor (the same as in the carbon Vala) delivers power and torque in a manner that augments your riding style, rather than overpowering it. We removed the flip chips found on the carbon Vala to eliminate tinkering and get you riding in the best all-around setup out of the box.

When designing each bike, we strive to deliver a package that makes every ride better. From our straightforward internal cable routing and easily-serviceable bearings, to our legendary lifetime warranty, every Santa Cruz bike is easy to live with and easy to service. The simplicity of our bikes is the result of decades of advanced development. Plus, owners get lifetime replacement bearings. Bikes aren't throwaway items, but they get thrown around. That’s why ours are made to last many lifetimes.
