Vala Lite

QUALITY RIDE, LIGHTER BUILD

It's everything you love about the Vala, just a bit lighter. Same full-power Bosch motor, same dialed suspension. We swapped in a Fox 36 instead of a 38, put on lighter tires and wheels, and pored over the spec sheet to save grams throughout the build. The result? A bike that weighs up to a pound and a half less than the standard Vala. And because a lot of the savings come from the fork and wheels, you'll feel the difference every time you lift the front end to clear obstacles, every time you accelerate out of a turn, and every time you push a little bit harder through the techy bits of trail. It's not a new bike, it's a new way to ride a full-power ebike.

FLOAT LIKE A BUTTERFLY

FULL FAT POWER BUT LOW-FAT SPEC

THE SPEED DIET

BUILT FOR THE UP/DOWN/ALL AROUND

We love the way ebikes turn a free hour into a great ride, the way they encourage a second lap, and the way they make climbing an enjoyable, technical part of the ride. The Vala Lite pairs Bosch's full-power motor with a build kit that saves significant weight, delivering a ride that feels sporty and fun.

RACECAR DREAMS

FULL POWER, FULL PERFORMANCE

By focusing on the build kit, Vala Lite gives you the best of both worlds—the torque and range of a full-power ebike, but with the weight and feel of an SL-class bike. Sort of like putting a big engine in a lightweight car—you retain the agility and handling, but get on the power coming out of a turn and you'll be up to speed. Fast.

RIDE QUALITY

Every Bit A Santa Cruz

Santa Cruz ebikes are more than just a mountain bike with a motor. We design the suspension kinematics, tune the shock, and spec the bike for the specific forces and experience of riding an ebike. The result is a high-quality ebike that delivers the confident handling and poise riders expect from a Santa Cruz.
