Learn More About the 2027 Santa Cruz Vala CC XT Di2 Lite RSV
What if a full-power eMTB could feel playful? That is the idea behind the 2027 Santa Cruz Vala CC XT Di2 Lite RSV. It is a weight-focused build that keeps everything good about the Vala, including the stable chassis, refined suspension and Bosch's strongest motor, while trimming the parts spec to make the bike quicker to lift, flick and steer.
The foundation is Santa Cruz's Carbon CC frame. It is the brand's lightest and most refined carbon layup, and it brings the same strength as the C frame at lower weight. Rear travel is 150mm through a four-bar suspension system and a FOX Float X Factory shock. Up front, a FOX 36 Float Factory fork with the Grip X2 damper gives 160mm of travel. It is a lighter, more lively choice than the 38, and it is plenty capable for aggressive trail riding.
- Lightweight Carbon CC frame, 150mm rear and 160mm front travel
- Shimano Deore XT Di2 drivetrain that runs off the main battery
- Shimano XT M8220 four-piston brakes with 200mm rotors
- Reserve 30|HD Carbon wheels on DT Swiss 350 hubs
- OneUp carbon handlebar and OneUp dropper post
Shifting is handled by Shimano's XT Di2 M8260 derailleur, which takes power from the Bosch battery. There are no derailleur batteries to remember and no cables to adjust. Shimano's shift switch triggers clean, consistent changes across the 10-51t XT cassette, even while the motor is working hard. It is a drivetrain designed specifically for eMTBs, and it shows on steep, punchy climbs.
Brakes are Shimano's XT M8220 four-piston calipers with RT750 rotors measuring 200mm at both ends. They offer a familiar Shimano lever feel and strong, predictable power. Together with the Reserve 30|HD Carbon rims and DT Swiss 350 hubs, they create a wheel and brake package that is both light and durable. The rear hub uses DT's DEG DF freehub to cut pedal kickback.
The cockpit is clean and simple: a OneUp carbon bar, a Santa Cruz CNC stem and Santa Cruz house grips. Small riders get a 760mm bar with 20mm rise, and medium through XXL riders get 800mm with 35mm rise. The OneUp dropper ranges from 120mm on the small to 240mm on XL and XXL. Tires are a Maxxis Assegai up front and a Minion DHRII in the back, both in EXO+ casings to save weight compared to heavier casings.
Power and range come from the Bosch Performance Line CX drive unit and a 600Wh PowerTube battery. The motor sits low in the frame to keep the center of gravity down. When you need to go further, add a Bosch PowerMore 250Wh range extender.
Choose from Matte Carbon Sparkle or Gloss Slate Blue, in sizes S through XXL. The frame is backed by Santa Cruz's lifetime warranty and free lifetime pivot bearing replacements for the original owner.
If you are torn between this bike and the XT Di2 RSV, the difference is simple. The Lite trades the heavier FOX 38 and DoubleDown rear tire for a lighter FOX 36 and EXO+ casing. It also uses Shimano XT brakes. Come talk to us at Airpark Bike Co and we will help you decide which Vala suits the way you ride.
