The Santa Cruz Vala 1 Carbon C - 90 brings together Santa Cruz’s renowned suspension expertise and Bosch’s leading e-MTB drive technology to create a bike that’s as composed as it is capable. Designed to deliver confident handling and smooth power on every ride, it’s built for riders who want all-day trail performance with a natural feel.
The Carbon C frame uses Santa Cruz’s advanced layup process to balance stiffness and compliance, ensuring precise handling and durability while keeping weight low. The proven 4-bar suspension system offers 150mm of rear travel, providing traction and control on technical climbs and descents. Matched with a FOX 38 Float Performance fork offering 160mm of travel, the Vala is perfectly balanced for aggressive trail and all-mountain riding.
Power comes from the Bosch Performance CX motor, delivering up to 85Nm of torque with smooth, responsive assistance. It’s paired with a 600Wh Bosch PowerTube battery, offering reliable range for long rides, whether you’re climbing mountain passes or exploring local singletrack. The Bosch display and remote give clear control over power levels and ride data, all from the handlebar.
The SRAM GX Eagle T-Type 12-speed drivetrain provides crisp, consistent shifting under load, while the SRAM Maven Base brakes deliver powerful, predictable stopping performance. The Reserve 30|HD AL wheelset is built tough for e-MTB use, rolling on Maxxis Assegai and Minion DHRII tyres for dependable grip across mixed terrain.
Finishing touches like the OneUp cockpit and dropper post, SDG Bel-Air V3 saddle, and high-quality bearings and hardware throughout reflect Santa Cruz’s reputation for thoughtful design and long-term reliability.
With its premium build and carefully tuned suspension, the Santa Cruz Vala 1 Carbon C - 90 offers a refined, confident ride that makes every climb easier and every descent more rewarding — a true trail companion for riders who value precision, balance, and power.
