Vala AL Deore E-Bike

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"Santa Cruz delivers a true performance eMTB at a price that stands out in the category. The Vala Deore’s Bosch Performance Line CX motor, robust aluminum frame, and 150mm/160mm suspension package give it the ride feel and capability of bikes costing much more. It’s a no-compromise build for riders who want reliability, range, and trail-tuned geometry without the premium price tag."

Santa Cruz’s Vala Deore is engineered for riders who demand top-tier eMTB performance without the premium price. The advanced Bosch Performance Line CX motor, paired with a 600Wh battery and optional 250Wh Powermore extender, provides class-leading power and range for epic trail days. Its aluminum MX frame mirrors the geometry and handling of Santa Cruz’s carbon models, ensuring stability and confidence across technical terrain. The 150mm rear travel and 160mm RockShox Psylo Gold RC fork absorb big hits while maintaining efficiency on climbs, making this bike a versatile all-mountain machine. Shimano’s Deore 12-speed drivetrain and M6120 4-piston brakes guarantee reliable shifting and stopping power, while Maxxis Assegai and Minion DHRII tires deliver grip and durability. The Vala Deore is easy to service, built to last, and backed by Santa Cruz’s lifetime warranty—making it a standout choice for discerning riders seeking value, performance, and real support.
