Design Details
Range Extender
A 600 Wh battery is optimal for most rides, and its low mass enhances handling characteristics. The 250 Wh PowerMore extender adds range when needed.
Bosch Flow App
Connect your bike experience. Customize modes, upload routes, track rides, and let the Range Control select modes for you.
MX Wheels
A 29-inch wheel up front provides traction and stability, while the 27.5-inch rear allows for late turning and lifting—a mix of both worlds.
Hard-wearing hardware
Like all Santa Cruz bikes, the pivots and links are tough, reliable, and easy to maintain. Plus, owners get lifetime replacement bearings.
Independently Adjustable
The geo chip raises or lowers the BB 4mm, and adjusts the headtube angle 0.3-degrees. The progression chip changes the progression from 26-29%.

Sizing & Geometry
Find your Size
If you're on the cusp between the recommended height range of two sizes, the absolute best thing is to try to ride them both. At a minimum, check the stack/reach measurements on your current bike and compare it to the new model you are looking at to get an idea of a fit you are already comfortable with. If riding the bike is not an option, consider the following.
A larger size frame will be more stable, and will give you more room to move without upsetting the weight-balance of the bike. The larger size will put the front wheel further in front of you, which gives the feeling of security and conversely, it will require more significant body movements when you WANT to shift the weight-bias of the bike. Think hard about your riding style and how active/intuitive you want it to be vs stable and speedy. You'll need to work a bit harder to muscle the larger bike around.
Not all bodies at a given height are the same. If you have longer legs and a shorter torso than the average person your height, that may push you towards the smaller of the recommended sizes. If you're all torso and arms, most likely you'll want to size up.

“The best bike I’ve ever tested.”
“And there, already, we say to ourselves that it's won...I'd even go so far as to say that, at first glance and thanks to its versatility, the Vala strikes me as the most successful model since the brand's arrival on the electric market.”
“For my money, it’s right up there in terms of the best mid-travel e-MTBs and could well be the bike that others aspire to beat.”
“Its agile, playful character makes it particularly attractive for riders looking for maximum trail fun. Santa Cruz fans who already own their playful analogue trail ripper, the Nomad, and are looking for its electric counterpart, will find what they’re looking for in the Vala.”
