The Santa Cruz Vala C GX AXS is designed to capture everything riders love about a pure mountain bike — agile handling, efficient suspension, and precision control — and amplify it with the smooth, natural power of Bosch’s Performance CX system.
At its heart is a Carbon C frame, engineered for a perfect balance of stiffness, strength, and low weight. With 150mm of rear travel and a progressive 4-bar suspension layout, it’s tuned to offer excellent traction and control on both climbs and descents. The geometry keeps things stable at speed yet playful in technical sections — a true all-rounder feel that’s signature Santa Cruz.
Up front, the FOX 38 Float Performance Elite fork with Grip X2 damper delivers 160mm of controlled travel, matched perfectly to the FOX Float X Performance Elite rear shock for a supple yet supportive ride. Together, they soak up trail chatter while keeping the bike composed through rough, fast terrain.
The Bosch Performance CX motor provides up to 85Nm of torque, giving intuitive pedal assistance that feels natural whether you’re cruising or tackling steep climbs. The 600Wh Bosch PowerTube battery offers reliable range for big days on the hill, with a sleek, integrated design that keeps the bike’s clean aesthetic.
Gear changes are handled by the SRAM GX Eagle AXS T-Type drivetrain, delivering precise, wireless electronic shifting even under heavy load. Paired with SRAM Maven Bronze brakes and 200mm rotors, you get confident, consistent stopping power on demanding descents.
Rolling on mixed-size Reserve 30|HD aluminium wheels with Maxxis Assegai (29") front and Minion DHRII (27.5") rear tyres, the Vala offers the perfect mix of rollover speed, traction, and control. Finishing touches like the OneUp dropper post, OneUp cockpit, and SDG Bel-Air V3 saddle add comfort and practicality for long days out.
The Santa Cruz Vala C GX AXS brings together the best of Santa Cruz’s trail DNA with cutting-edge e-MTB tech. Whether you’re climbing further, descending faster, or just exploring more of your favourite trails, it delivers a confident, responsive, and truly exhilarating ride.
