Challenge the Status Quo!

Status Quo once sang " I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it, I la la la like it, la la la like it, say ooooooo VPP for E-Bikes is good"

But Santa Cruz dont like Status Quo.

Thats why their new Bosch CX powered E-Bike is a 4 bar suspension system not a VPP because sometimes you need to challenge the Status Quo.

Introducing the Santa Cruz Vala. Equipped with the latest Bosch CX motor kicking out 100nm of torque, 750w peak power with a 600WH battery and the controversial 4 bar suspension system!

So why no VPP?

Put simply, the VPP system needs the lower link to be exactly that. Low. And you cant do that if theres a great big motor in the way.

So the Santa Cruz engineers looked at the numbers and started muttering "4 bar" and "horst link" and "Status Quo" under their breath until eventually the Vala was born!

    Bosch Performance CX BDU38

    Battery

    Bosch PowerTube Battery 600Wh

Range Extender

A 600 Wh battery is optimal for most rides, and its low mass enhances handling characteristics. The 250 Wh PowerMore extender adds range when needed.

BOSCH Flow App

Connect your bike experience. Customize modes, upload routes, track rides, and let the Range Control select modes for you.

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.

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.

Independently Adjustable

The geo chip raises or lowers the BB 4mm, and adjusts the headtube angle 0.3-degrees. The progression chip changes the progression from 26-29%.

Bosch Motor

The Performance Line CX combines power, dynamics, efficiency and altitude. 100nm and 750w peak power.

These values represent the ideal balance between performance and riding fun in relation to wear and range.
