It uses 150mm of rear travel paired with a 160mm RockShox ZEB Base fork, giving it the support and control needed for rough descents, embedded rocks, steep trail sections, and repeated hard hits. The mixed-wheel MX layout combines a 29 inch front wheel for stability and rollover with a 27.5 inch rear wheel for maneuverability, clearance, and a playful feel when the trail gets tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower comes from the Bosch Performance Line CX drive unit. This motor is known for strong climbing assistance, smooth engagement, and a natural feel that helps the rider stay in control instead of feeling disconnected from the trail. The 600Wh Bosch PowerTube battery gives the Vala the range needed for big rides, repeated climbs, and extended trail sessions. The Bosch Smart System controller and top tube display keep ride modes easy to manage without cluttering the cockpit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AL 70 build uses a SRAM Eagle 70 Transmission drivetrain with a wide 10-52 tooth cassette. It is a durable, modern 12-speed drivetrain designed for the torque and demands of eMTB use. SRAM DB8 four-piston brakes with large 220mm front and 200mm rear rotors provide the braking power needed for a full-power electric mountain bike. Reserve 30 HD AL rims, Maxxis tires, a OneUp Enduro stem, Santa Cruz aluminum handlebar, SDG dropper post, and RockShox Super Deluxe Base shock round out a practical and trail-ready parts package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bike is a strong choice for riders who want Santa Cruz handling, Bosch power, and a dependable aluminum frame without paying full retail. The cosmetic scratches on the top tube do not affect the ride, frame performance, or trail capability. For the rider looking for a new Vala AL 70 at a much better price, this blemished bike offers serious value with only minor cosmetic damage noted.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Santa Cruz","offers":[{"title":"Gloss Stormbringer Purple \/ M \/ Free Bosch PowerMore Range Extender","offer_id":49060378902756,"sku":"SCB251233","price":5199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5456\/7396\/files\/2026-santa-cruz-vala-al-70-gloss-stormbringer-purple-scb251233-side.jpg?v=1780338758","url":"https:\/\/www.airparkbikeco.com\/products\/2026-santa-cruz-vala-al-70-blemish-scb251233","provider":"Airpark Bike Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
