The Santa Cruz Vala Carbon C blends the brand’s renowned handling and build quality with Bosch’s latest e-MTB technology, creating a bike that thrives on technical, demanding trails. Its lightweight carbon frame is designed for durability and precision, with geometry that keeps you balanced and in control whether climbing steep pitches or tackling rough descents.
The mixed wheel setup combines a 29” front for stability and rollover confidence with a 27.5” rear for agility through tight turns. Suspension comes from FOX’s Performance series, with a 160mm FOX 38 Float fork up front and a FOX Float X shock at the rear, giving the Vala the control and sensitivity needed for fast, challenging terrain.
The Bosch Performance Line CX motor delivers up to 85Nm of torque, paired with a 600Wh battery for long, demanding rides. The system is tuned for a natural feel, blending seamlessly with your own pedalling input while giving you the power to take on any climb.
SRAM’s 90 Eagle T-Type drivetrain provides crisp, precise 12-speed shifting, while SRAM Maven Base brakes with 200mm HS2 rotors give powerful, consistent stopping in all conditions. Reserve 30|HD aluminium rims are built for the rigours of e-MTB use, and Maxxis Assegai and Minion DHRII tyres offer proven grip and control on varied terrain.
With top-tier components, robust carbon construction, and a ride feel honed by Santa Cruz’s experience on real trails, the Vala Carbon C is ready for riders who demand performance, reliability, and all-day capability from their e-MTB.
