“The best bike I’ve ever tested.”
“And there, already, we say to ourselves that it's won...I'd even go so far as to say that, at first glance and thanks to its versatility, the Vala strikes me as the most successful model since the brand's arrival on the electric market.”
“For my money, it’s right up there in terms of the best mid-travel e-MTBs and could well be the bike that others aspire to beat.”
“Its agile, playful character makes it particularly attractive for riders looking for maximum trail fun. Santa Cruz fans who already own their playful analogue trail ripper, the Nomad, and are looking for its electric counterpart, will find what they’re looking for in the Vala.”
