There's no better tool for the job than the Santa Cruz Vala 1 C MX R US full-power e-MTB when you're looking to get a quick rip in before/after work when time is crunched. But what about when the work week ends and the crunched time turns into play time? The freakin' weekend means you'll be stacking self-shuttles on the premier descents with the squad. What could be more fun? Truly, I'm not sure if anything tops that..
The Vala is built on the Bosch Performance Line CS Motor (600Wh), and the 85 Nm torque and 600 watts peak power delivers supremely smooth acceleration and overall performance in a clean, seamless package. The 150mm / 160mm travel and an improved 4-bar suspension design provides the signature Santa Cruz suspension feel that straddles the line between stability and agility. This line is also influenced by a mixed wheel setup with the 29" front wheel offering excellent roll-over capability and tracking through the roughest of terrain, and the 27.5" rear wheel ensures a snappy response from the rear end when maneuvering around on tech. The Vala is the sweet spot for riders looking for a full-power e-MTB that holds its own on gnarly backcountry trails, and lets loose on the flow-focused resort singletrack.
