Product Details

The Santa Cruz Vala C R Kit is setting a new benchmark for full-power electric mountain bikes, designed with the legendary craftsmanship and innovation that Santa Cruz is known for. A perfect blend of cutting-edge technology, superior handling, and power, the Vala C R Kit is built to tackle the most challenging trails with ease. Drawing from Santa Cruz’s extensive experience in high-performance mountain bikes, the Vala introduces a host of features that elevate its performance, making it a standout choice for serious trail riders who want the thrill of electric assistance without compromising on handling or agility.

One of the key highlights of the Vala is its powerful Bosch Performance Line CX motor, which delivers 85 Nm of torque. This industry-leading motor ensures that even the steepest, most technical climbs feel like a breeze, giving riders the confidence to conquer any ascent. The Vala comes equipped with a 600Wh internal battery that strikes the ideal balance between weight and endurance, allowing for longer rides without sacrificing nimbleness. For those who crave extended adventures, the Vala is compatible with the 250Wh PowerMore range extender, which adds extra mileage without adding excessive bulk or weight. This modular power system is not only efficient but also thoughtfully designed to ensure that the bike’s overall handling remains precise and responsive.

The suspension system is another standout feature on the Vala, showcasing Santa Cruz’s new four-bar linkage, which has been engineered specifically for e-MTBs. This suspension setup offers improved kinematics compared to traditional designs, ensuring that the rear wheel remains planted on the ground during pedaling and provides excellent stability when braking. The 150mm of rear travel and 160mm front fork work in harmony to absorb the harshest hits while maintaining agility and control. Additionally, the mixed-wheel setup—27.5” in the rear and 29” in the front—combines the best of both worlds: the stability and rollover capabilities of a larger front wheel with the playful, nimble feel of a smaller rear wheel.

Santa Cruz pays meticulous attention to the details, which is evident in every aspect of the Vala. The frame is built from Santa Cruz’s renowned C Carbon, known for its strength, durability, and lightweight properties. This construction keeps the overall bike weight under 50 pounds, even with all the powerful components onboard. The frame also features a low and centered battery placement, optimizing the bike’s center of gravity for enhanced handling. Additionally, the flip-chip geometry allows riders to tweak the suspension’s progression to suit their riding style, whether prioritizing responsiveness or increased bump absorption on rough trails.

A major innovation in the Vala’s design is the inclusion of Santa Cruz’s first in-frame storage compartment, which is perfect for storing essential tools, a CO2 canister, or a spare tube. This storage solution ensures that riders can carry everything they need for quick repairs without the hassle of bulky backpacks. The hatch is easy to access, even with a water bottle mounted, making on-the-go adjustments a breeze. The bike also comes equipped with the Smartpak 400 top tube bento box, making nutrition storage simpler and more aerodynamic during longer rides or races.

Beyond its performance features, the Vala is designed for convenience and durability. The bike is compatible with longer dropper posts, up to 210mm on larger frame sizes, ensuring optimal adjustability for a wide range of rider heights. Santa Cruz also uses larger ball bearings throughout the suspension pivots, increasing longevity and reducing the need for frequent maintenance.

The Santa Cruz Vala C R Kit isn’t just an e-bike—it’s a revolutionary tool for riders who want to push the limits of what’s possible on the trail. Whether you’re powering up steep climbs, cruising over rough terrain, or flying through technical descents, the Vala delivers unmatched performance, power, and handling. Experience the next level of e-mountain biking with Santa Cruz’s newest innovation.
