Details of the Santa Cruz VALA 1 C - GX AXS

Sturdy Carbon Frame

Santa Cruz frames aren’t disposable products. With regular maintenance, they’ll easily last a biker’s entire cycling life. At Santa Cruz, carbon isn’t primarily about lightweight design—it’s about durability, which is reinforced by the warranty promise and the crash replacement policy.

Low Center of Gravity

The integrated 600Wh rechargeable battery enables a lightweight design and delivers agility and riding fun. The optional 250Wh PowerMore Range Extender gives you the flexibility to increase your range when needed.

4 Assistance Levels

With the sleek, wireless remote on the handlebars, you can switch between four assistance levels as standard—Eco, Tour, eMTB, and Turbo. You can also customize the different modes individually in the Bosch Flow app.

A blend of worlds

The MX wheelset offers stability and control with its 29" front wheel, while the 27.5" rear wheel ensures agility and a playful ride.

Independently Adjustable Geometry and Progression

The Geo FlipChip raises or lowers the bottom bracket by 4 mm and adjusts the head angle by 0.3 degrees. The Progression FlipChip changes the progression from 26% to 29%.
