At its heart is Bosch’s Performance Line CX motor. With up to 85Nm of torque on tap, it gives intuitive, responsive power delivery that feels natural and progressive, especially on steep and technical climbs. The compact yet powerful motor works in harmony with the custom-tuned suspension to keep traction and composure on tricky terrain.
You get a 600Wh Bosch PowerTube battery neatly integrated into the downtube, offering a strong balance of range and weight for all-day trail rides. Paired with Bosch’s LED remote and the Intuvia 100 display, you have full control of your ride modes, battery status, and ride metrics at a glance.
The mixed wheel setup (29” front and 27.5” rear) offers a blend of rollover efficiency and agile cornering. A 160mm RockShox Zeb Base fork and 150mm rear travel from the Super Deluxe shock soak up hits, letting you stay composed on rougher terrain. Wide 800mm Santa Cruz bars and a OneUp stem give you plenty of front-end control, while the Maxxis EXO+ and DoubleDown tyres offer serious grip and durability.
SRAM’s 70-series T-Type wireless drivetrain provides seamless shifting under power, even on tough inclines, and the DB8 4-piston brakes deliver consistent bite with oversized 220/200mm rotors for dependable stopping power.
Whether you're an experienced trail rider looking for reliable e-assist for longer missions, or a rider stepping into e-MTB with high expectations, the Santa Cruz Vala Alloy 70 MX delivers serious performance in a package that prioritises real-world capability, ride feel, and long-term durability.
