Santa Cruz Vala CC XX AXS Lite Reserve
The New Vala Lite
Built on the same chassis as the Vala, and using the same full-power Bosch motor, the Vala Lite build kits swap some of the smash-ready components for a optimised build that will save you up to 680 grams. You'll find a Fox 36 instead of a 38, and lighter wheels and tyres to reduce rotational weight. The result is a full-power e-bike that's easier to lift over trail obstacles, accelerates faster, and leaves you less fatigued at the end of a lap. Ready for another one?
For rides of exceptional quality
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.
Class-leading power and handling
All the legendary Santa Cruz dynamics—supreme handling, great suspension, and longevity—are paired with the class-leading new Bosch Performance Line CX motor and a versatile battery solution. The Vala is a full-power eMTB built for real trails, not tribulations.
