Details of the Santa Cruz VALA 1 C MX

Strong carbon frame

Santa Cruz frames are not disposable products. With regular storage service, they will easily last a biker’s lifetime. At Santa Cruz, carbon does not primarily stand for lightweight construction, but for durability, which is reinforced by the warranty promise and crash replacement principle.

Low center of gravity

The integrated 600Wh battery enables a lightweight construction and brings agility and riding fun. The optional 250Wh PowerMore range extender gives you the flexibility to increase the range if required.

4 support levels

With the tidy, wireless remote on the handlebars, you can switch between four support levels as standard – Eco, Tour, eMTB and Turbo. You can also customize the different modes in the Bosch Flow app.

Mix of worlds

The MX wheels offer stability and control with the 29″ front wheel, while the 27.5″ rear wheel ensures agility and a playful riding style.

Independently adjustable geometry and progression

The Geo-FlipChip raises or lowers the bottom bracket by 4mm and adjusts the steering angle by 0.3 degrees. The Progression FlipChip changes the progression from 26-29%.
