The Vala is a fully-fledged e-bike that offers precision and power. It is built for those who are looking for concentrated performance on the best trails. Perfectly balanced, finely sprung and, as always, finished to the highest quality.

Attention to detail
Even if this bike looks like an ordinary four-link at first glance, we have found ways to make the much-used Santa Cruz system better, stiffer and more robust to give you lasting pleasure. We take care of the little details so you don't have to.

  • A. A solid, one-piece rocker arm provides stiffness and protects the shock from lateral loads. One of many details that sets the Santa Cruz Vala apart from other four-bar bikes.
  • B. The bridge between the seat stays provides additional stiffness so that the suspension runs smoothly and does not twist.

Pivot points
The main pivot points run on the legendary, conically clamped axles that Santa Cruz introduced and that are copied by many bicycle brands today. The axles cannot come loose on their own, but are easy to dismantle for maintenance.

Bearings
Four large bearings in the chainstay pivot points and an axle that holds everything securely together (no explosions on the workshop floor). No bearing puller is required to remove the bearings for maintenance.
We use larger, more robust bearings than most other brands. Larger bearings are less susceptible to contamination. So the bike rides better and lasts longer.

Hardware

  • A. The geometry flip chips cannot fall out. To adjust them, simply loosen them, turn them round and tighten them again. This is so simple and quick that you can do it on the side of the road with just an Allen key.
  • B. The threads in the pivot points on the chainstay, seatstay and shock mount are all replaceable. So if you cause damage because you're better at biking than wrenching, it's only a small, solvable problem as the valuable frame remains intact.
  • C. All screws are designed for 5mm Allen keys, so that a quick screw check is possible at any time. No special tools are required and it's so easy to work on the bike that even the marketing people can do it (if we hide the sharp tools from them).


This bike arrives (almost) fully assembled. All you have to do is straighten the handlebars and fit the pedals.
