Vala AL Eagle 70 E-Bike

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"Vala AL 70 is a standout for riders who want a no-nonsense, high-performance eMTB. The Bosch CX motor, RockShox Zeb fork, and SRAM T-Type drivetrain are a killer combo for technical trails and big days out. Santa Cruz nailed the geometry and spec—this bike is ready for anything, and the aluminum frame means I don’t have to worry about pushing it hard."

Santa Cruz’s Vala AL 70 is purpose-built for riders who demand aggressive trail performance and uncompromising reliability. The advanced Bosch Performance Line CX motor, paired with a 600Wh battery, delivers the power and range needed for all-day adventures. Its aluminum MX frame mirrors the geometry and handling of Santa Cruz’s carbon models, ensuring stability and confidence on the most technical terrain. The 150mm rear travel and 160mm RockShox Zeb Base fork are tuned for big hits and rough descents, while the SRAM Eagle 70 T-Type drivetrain and DB8 brakes offer precise shifting and powerful braking. Maxxis Assegai and Minion DHRII tires provide the grip and durability needed for aggressive riding. The Vala AL 70 is easy to maintain, built to last, and supported by Santa Cruz’s lifetime warranty—making it the ultimate choice for riders who want to push their limits without compromise.
