TheSanta Cruz Vala 1 C MX XT Di2 brings full power electric performance to the heart of the trail with a premium all-new carbon chassis, refined suspension kinematics, and the latest Bosch drive system. Built around a mixed wheel setup, 150mm of rear travel, and a 160mm fork, the Vala C is purpose-built for serious riders who want confidence on the descents and support on the climbs.

At its core is the Bosch Performance CX BDU38 motor delivering 85Nm of torque, paired with a 600Wh integrated PowerTube battery for big days and big terrain. Compatible with the Bosch PowerMore 250Wh range extender, it’s ready for even longer missions. The updated VPP-based 4-bar suspension layout is tuned specifically for electric mountain biking, providing active pedaling support, strong braking performance, and plush travel through rough trails.

The Vala C rolls on a mixed wheel (MX) platform; 29″ up front for stability and 27.5″ out back for quick handling. This gives riders the best of both worlds. The FOX 38 Factory fork and FOX Float X Factory shock deliver premium suspension performance, while the new Shimano Deore XT M8260 Di2 drivetrain provides precise electronic shifting. Size-specific chainstays ensure consistent ride feel across the range, while internal frame storage and long dropper compatibility bring practical, ride-enhancing details into focus.

Perfect for riders seeking the ultimate combination of carbon performance and electric assistance, this premium electric mountain bike features Reserve 30|HD AL 6069 wheels with DT Swiss 350 hubs for reliable performance across demanding terrain. The Vala C represents Santa Cruz’s commitment to creating electric mountain bikes that enhance rather than compromise the traditional trail riding experience.
