The Vala Aluminum delivers on all of the benefits of the Valapoised suspension, high-quality parts, and legendary Santa Cruz reliability and warranty supportbut in a package within reach of more riders.

The four-bar suspension is predictable and confidence-inspiring, and the Bosch Performance CX Line motor (the same as in the carbon Vala) delivers power and torque in a manner that augments your riding style, rather than overpowering it. Santa Cruz removed the flip chips found on the carbon Vala to eliminate tinkering and get you riding in the best all-around setup out of the box.
