Santa Cruz Vala C MX R
Details
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.
R—Base model with same drive unit, tires, and big rotors as all Valas. Quality parts, no black label throwaway items.
- CLASS-LEADING POWER: The Bosch Performance Line CX is powerful, reliable and quiet. The power on tap and how it delivers it makes going up trails feel like descending.
- RANGE WITH HANDLING IN MIND: 600 Wh is optimal for most rides. Low battery mass improves handling characteristics. The 250 Wh PowerMore extender battery provides the freedom to cover more ground when needed.
- EXCEPTIONAL HANDLING DYNAMICS: Bombproof, lightweight carbon frame, superior ebike suspension performance and tailored geometry create a chassis that exceeds where real mountain biking demands it.
