Vala C Eagle 70 E-Bike

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve been blown away by how capable the Vala 70 is—not just for an e-bike, but as a trail bike period. The floaty rear travel and stiff Zeb up front make it feel planted but playful, and the wireless shifting from T-Type is totally set-it-and-forget-it. Whether you’re cruising climbs or blasting down rocky lines, this bike absolutely rips."

The Santa Cruz Vala 70 is engineered for riders who expect more from their e-bike—more travel, more traction, more downhill capability. Its Carbon C frame pairs 150mm of VPP suspension with a 160mm RockShox Zeb Base fork for full-travel trail confidence and high-speed control. Built around mixed wheels for a balance of rollover and agility, the Vala is as composed on tech climbs as it is fearless on fast descents.

This build features a FOX Float X Performance rear shock and full SRAM Eagle T-Type wireless drivetrain, with a 10–52t cassette for climbing anything and a Single Click 90-series AXS shifter to keep shifts smooth and reliable. SRAM DB8 brakes with oversized rotors offer powerful braking, while Reserve 30|HD aluminum rims and Maxxis Assegai/DHRII tires handle rough terrain with durability and grip. The cockpit is topped off with a Burgtec or e*thirteen bar, OneUp stem, and Santa Cruz grips—built for long days and hard hits.

Whether you're racking up miles or charging tech lines, the Vala 70 brings power and precision to every pedal stroke.
