How to Set Up Your Bike
Carefully open the box and remove the packaging. Install the front wheel and straighten the handlebar. You'll also need pedals unless you bought pedals with your bike.

This 2026 Santa Cruz Vala AL 70 in Gloss Stormbringer Purple is a brand new bike with very minor damage. That small blemish allows us to offer it at a big discount while still giving the next rider a full-power Santa Cruz eMTB with the standard lifetime frame warranty from Santa Cruz Bicycles. The Vala AL 70 is made for riders who want strong Bosch support, confident suspension, and durable aluminum construction in a bike that feels ready for real mountain trails from the first ride.
Condition Notes:
- Scratches on right side of top tube just in front of Vala logo
The Vala is Santa Cruz’s full-power electric mountain bike platform, and this aluminum 70 build brings the same focused handling and trail-first attitude in a tough, high-value package. 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.
Power 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.
The 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.
This 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.
