The Ex-Demo Santa Cruz Vala Aluminium Sale
The Vala AL 70 brings Santa Cruz’s latest mixed-wheel, Bosch-powered platform to an alloy frameset built to take years of real-world riding. With 150 mm of rear travel, a 160 mm Zeb fork, and the proven geometry shared with the carbon Vala, it’s a confident, capable trail eMTB designed for everything from steep technical loops to uplift days and big mountain routes.
About These Ex-Demo Bikes
These Vala AL 70s come from our in-house demo fleet and have seen only light, supervised use. All three are maintained to a higher standard than typical consumer bikes — cleaned, inspected, and serviced throughout their time in the fleet. They represent excellent value for anyone wanting a near-new eMTB with full chassis warranty support.
Warranty
Even as ex-demo models, **you’ll be the first registered owner of the frame and Reserve wheels**, giving you access to Santa Cruz’s full lifetime frame warranty and lifetime wheel warranty. Components may show minor signs of use appropriate for light demo mileage, therefore wear and tear items, and service intervals aren't the same as purchasing from new, but everything is checked and signed off before sale.
Spec Highlights
- Alloy MX chassis – 150 mm rear travel with a 4-Bar linkage for control and efficiency.
- RockShox Zeb Base – 160 mm of stiffness and steering accuracy for steep or technical terrain.
- RockShox Super Deluxe Base – 205×60 shock tuned for consistent support on rough trails.
- Bosch Performance Line CX – Responsive assistance with a 600 Wh in-frame battery.
- SRAM T-Type 12-speed drivetrain – Durable, accurate shifting designed for eMTB torque loads.
- SRAM DB8 brakes – Mineral oil, easy to service, with 220/200 mm rotors for reliable stopping power.
- Reserve 30|HD AL wheels – MX wheel setup (29” front, 27.5” rear) for traction and agility.
- Maxxis tyres – Assegai EXO+ front and Minion DHR II DoubleDown rear for maximum grip and support.
- Proven finishing kit – SDG Tellis dropper, OneUp chainguide and WTB Silverado saddle.
Why We Use the “70” Build for Demo
The Vala AL 70 is our demo choice because its components offer far greater robustness and performance than the lower Deore-level build. The combination of T-Type drivetrain, stronger wheels, bigger rotors and tougher tyres ensures reliability across all conditions — essential for a demo fleet where every rider should experience the bike at its best.
Why Buy an Ex-Demo Vala AL?
You’re getting a bike that’s been ridden very little, maintained exceptionally well, and still benefits from Santa Cruz’s unmatched frame and wheel warranty. It’s the same performance, handling, and Bosch power system as a brand-new Vala — at a significant saving, and with transparent condition reporting for each size.
Mileage as of 18th November:
- Vala M Stormbringer Purple - Bike #9 : 27km
- Vala XL Lunar Grey - Bike #8 : 50km

A 29-inch wheel up front provides traction and stability, while the 27.5-inch rear allows for late turning and lifting—a mix of both worlds.
