The Santa Cruz Vala AL Deore e-MTB: Built for Precision, Powered for Performance

Meet the Vala AL Deore – a full-power electric mountain bike crafted for riders who demand responsive handling and reliable performance on demanding trails. It strikes a perfect balance with refined suspension and premium construction. It's more affordable—but never feels cheap.

HIGH-END POWER BACKED BY SANTA CRUZ TRAIL DNA
The Vala pairs the unmistakable ride feel of a Santa Cruz—sharp control, plush suspension, and long-lasting durability—with the top-tier Bosch Performance Line CX motor and a flexible battery setup. Designed for real-world trail riding, not showroom gimmicks.

BOSCH PERFORMANCE LINE CX MOTOR
The latest Bosch drive unit brings smooth, consistent, and near-silent power delivery. Its responsiveness makes climbing feel as thrilling as descending.

DESIGNED FOR RANGE & CONTROL
A 600 Wh battery hits the sweet spot for most trail sessions. With less battery weight, the bike handles nimbly. For extended days, the optional 250 Wh PowerMore range extender gives you more miles without compromise.

EXCEPTIONAL TRAIL MANNERS
With a tough alloy frame and dialed suspension kinematics, the Vala AL delivers stability and performance where it counts most—in rugged terrain and fast descents.

FOUR-BAR, REIMAGINED
Though it may resemble previous designs, the Vala’s suspension layout has been optimized for better trail performance. Refined kinematics, responsive geometry, balanced stiffness—this bike rewards the rider who notices the details.
