The Vala is a fully-fledged e-bike that offers precision and power. It is built for those who are looking for concentrated performance on the best trails. Perfectly balanced, finely sprung and, as always, finished to the highest quality.

Attention to detail
Even if this bike looks like an ordinary four-link at first glance, we have found ways to make the much-used Santa Cruz system better, stiffer and more robust to give you lasting pleasure. We take care of the little details so you don't have to.

  • A. A solid, one-piece rocker arm provides stiffness and protects the shock from lateral loads. One of many details that sets the Santa Cruz Vala apart from other four-bar bikes.
  • B. The bridge between the seat stays provides additional stiffness so that the suspension runs smoothly and does not twist.

Pivot points
The main pivot points run on the legendary, conically clamped axles that Santa Cruz introduced and that are copied by many bicycle brands today. The axles cannot come loose on their own, but are easy to dismantle for maintenance.

Bearings
Four large bearings in the chainstay pivot points and an axle that holds everything securely together (no explosions on the workshop floor). No bearing puller is required to remove the bearings for maintenance.
We use larger, more robust bearings than most other brands. Larger bearings are less susceptible to contamination. So the bike rides better and lasts longer.

Hardware

  • A. The geometry flip chips cannot fall out. To adjust them, simply loosen them, turn them round and tighten them again. This is so simple and quick that you can do it on the side of the road with just an Allen key.
  • B. The threads in the pivot points on the chainstay and seatstay as well as the shock mount are all replaceable. So if you cause damage because you're better at biking than wrenching, it's only a small, solvable problem as the valuable frame remains intact.
  • C. All screws are designed for 5mm Allen keys, so that a quick screw check is possible at any time. No special tools are required and it's so easy to work on the bike that even the marketing people can do it (if we hide the sharp tools from them).


This bike arrives (almost) fully assembled. All you have to do is straighten the handlebars and fit the pedals.

Important safety information

The most comprehensive overview of relevant safety information and warnings can be found in our bicycle user manual. Please visit the following link to view the full manual: Manual

We have listed a few important points for you below. Please note that this list is not exhaustive and we cannot guarantee its completeness .

1. Assembly and operation: Ensure that all components of the bicycle are fully assembled in accordance with the user manual. Only use the bicycle if all bolts/nuts have been tightened to the specified torque. Read the user manual and all additional documentation carefully before using the bicycle for the first time.

2. Permissible load: Do not exceed the permissible total load of the bicycle, as this may lead to breakage or failure of important safety components . The braking system is designed only for the permissible total load.

3. Laws and regulations: Observe all local and national cycling laws and regulations. These include, but are not limited to, licensing, compulsory helmet use, child seats, cycling traffic laws, and regulations regarding lights and reflectors.

4. Bicycle registration: You must register your bicycle in order to make a warranty claim . Keep the user manual for future reference and consult your specialist dealer if you have any questions regarding assembly and maintenance.

5. Modifications and adjustments: Modifications to your bicycle’s components may compromise safety and invalidate the warranty. Not all components or accessories have been tested for compatibility and safety. Consult your specialist dealer before making any changes to the bicycle.

6. Chassis and suspension: Incorrect suspension settings can lead to malfunctions and increase the risk of losing control and having an accident. Check the suspension regularly for visible damage and have any leaks or damage repaired immediately by your specialist dealer.

7. Wheel safety: Do not ride with a wheel or axle that is not properly secured. This can cause the wheel to move or come loose from the bike, resulting in an accident. Consult the axle manufacturer’s instructions for correct installation.

8. Brake levers and seat adjustments: Ensure you can reach the brake levers when your hands are positioned securely on the handlebars. A brake that is out of reach can lead to loss of control and an accident.

9. Disc brakes: Do not touch disc brakes and rotors immediately after use, as these become very hot and can cause burns. Allow them to cool completely before touching them.

10. Handlebars and steerer tube: Adjustments to the handlebar height should only be carried out by a specialist dealer. Incorrect installation can damage the fork steerer tube and cause an accident. Do not remove any spacer rings from the fork steerer tube.

11. Rotor sizes: Observe the fork manufacturer’s rotor size restrictions. A rotor larger than recommended may affect the fork, frame or other components and lead to an accident.

12. Handlebar grips and end caps: Use handlebar end caps to cover the ends of the handlebars . Uncovered handlebar ends can cause injuries in the event of an accident.

13. Saddle height adjustment: Incorrect saddle height adjustment can lead to falls, injuries and/or death. We recommend that all assembly and adjustment work be carried out by a specialist dealer.

14. Seat clamp bolts: Failure to tighten the seat clamp bolt in accordance with the recommendations of the seatpost manufacturer may damage the seat tube and cause an accident.

15. Seat adjustment: A saddle that is not correctly adjusted or does not fit properly can lead to injuries to soft tissues, nerves and blood vessels. Symptoms include pain, tingling, numbness or soreness.

16. Air hoses at petrol stations: Do not use air hoses at petrol stations to inflate your tyres. These air hoses may give inaccurate pressure readings and inflate the tyres too quickly, which can lead to damage or tyre blowouts.

17. Tyre clearance: For front forks, there must be at least 6 mm of tyre clearance when the fork is completely deflated and fully compressed. Measure around the edges of the inflated tyre and the fork crown, the fork legs and the head tube.

18. Luggage racks and trailers: The use of luggage racks or trailers can affect steering, suspension performance and other components, and increase braking distances. Do not overload the bicycle and ensure that luggage and rack components do not cover the lights or reflectors or come into contact with moving parts.

19. Maintenance intervals: Observe the maintenance intervals. These serve as a guideline for normal operation and may vary depending on conditions. Ensure that the bicycle is serviced in accordance with our specifications and that all maintenance work is documented. Components may fail if wear and damage are not identified in good time. In the event of an impact or accident, consult your specialist dealer immediately for an inspection. Ensure regular maintenance, frequent inspections and the replacement of parts as required.
