The Santa Cruz Vala 1 Carbon C is designed around the same handling and suspension priorities the brand is known for, with electric assistance added to extend your riding rather than change it. The Carbon C frame uses a 4-bar suspension layout with 150mm of rear travel, delivering consistent traction and control across mixed trail terrain.
Up front, the RockShox ZEB Base fork provides 160mm of controlled travel, giving the Vala a confident front end when trails get steep or rough. At the rear, the FOX Float X Performance shock balances support and comfort, helping the bike stay composed through repeated hits and longer descents.
Power comes from the Bosch Performance Line CX motor, offering smooth, responsive assistance with up to 85Nm of torque. It’s paired with a 600Wh Bosch PowerTube battery, giving a practical balance of range and weight for longer trail rides and full days in the hills.
The SRAM Eagle T-Type 12-speed drivetrain is built for e-bike use, with precise shifting and a wide 10–52T cassette that makes steep climbs more manageable. SRAM DB8 hydraulic disc brakes deliver consistent stopping power, helping maintain control when speeds increase.
A mixed wheel setup combines a 29” front wheel with a 27.5” rear, improving rollover at the front while keeping the rear end agile. Maxxis Assegai and Minion DHR II tyres provide dependable grip in a wide range of conditions, while Reserve 30|HD aluminium rims are chosen for long-term durability.
With balanced geometry, proven suspension design and a powerful but predictable drive system, the Vala 1 Carbon C is built for riders who want a full-power e-MTB that feels composed and confidence-inspiring on real trails.
