The Ex-Demo Santa Cruz Vala Aluminium Sale
The Vala Aluminium, or AL for short, brings Santa Cruz’s latest mixed-wheel, Bosch-powered platform to an alloy frameset built to take years of real-world riding. With 150mm of rear travel, a 160mm 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
Our Santa Cruz Vala Aluminium bikes come from our official Santa Cruz Demo Centre fleet and have seen only light, supervised use. All 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.
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.

Hard-wearing Hardware
Like all Santa Cruz bikes, the pivots and links are tough, reliable, and easy to maintain. Plus, owners get lifetime replacement bearings.
MX Wheels
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.
