Learn More About the 2026 Santa Cruz Vala C 70
The 2026 Santa Cruz Vala C 70 blends high-performance all-mountain capability and e-MTB power. With Bosch's top-tier drive system, a dialed mullet wheel setup, and a stiff carbon frame, this bike rides like a proper trail machine, just with more juice when you want it.
Frame
The carbon C frame keeps things light and strong, with a mixed-wheel layout that pairs a 29" front wheel for rollover stability with a 27.5" rear for quicker handling. Internal cable routing and a low center of gravity make the Vala a capable climber and descender on chunky, technical terrain.
Bosch Power
The Bosch Performance Line CX motor cranks out up to 85Nm of torque and offers responsive support when you're climbing, cruising, or getting out of a corner. It's paired with a 600Wh Bosch PowerTube battery tucked into the downtube for solid range on long days out.

- Fork: RockShox Zeb Base, 160mm — stiff and composed for hard-charging trail work
- Shock: FOX Float X Performance, 205x60mm — plush, piggyback-equipped for consistent damping
Wireless Drivetrain
- Cassette: XS 1270, 10–52t
- Chain: GX Eagle T-Type Flattop
