The Santa Cruz Vala 1 AL MX is a full-power aluminum electric mountain bike built around the Bosch Performance Line CX motor and a 600 Wh battery. Its four-bar suspension uses a stiff one-piece bridged link and Santa Cruz's collet-axle pivot system, which the brand says keeps the chassis precise under load. It suits riders who want a planted, powerful trail bike and would rather have aluminum durability than a carbon frame. Against carbon eMTBs it gives up some weight, but the smaller battery mass and refined suspension are aimed at sharper handling than bulky full-power rivals.

The Vala 1 AL MX 70 is a full-power electric mountain bike built for focused performance on trails. It has an aluminum frame, a four-bar suspension design and 150mm of rear travel. A RockShox Zeb Base fork provides 160mm of travel up front.
A Bosch Performance Line CX drive unit powers the bike and is quiet. A 600Wh Bosch PowerTube battery keeps battery mass low, which helps handling. A 250Wh PowerMore extender battery can add range when needed.
A stiff one-piece bridged link adds chassis stiffness and protects the shock from side loads. The main pivots use a preloading collet axle and expanding wedge system, and the axles are keyed for removal. The chainstay pivots use four oversized bearings and an axle that holds everything captive, so no blind puller tool is needed to remove the bearings. The threads at the chainstay pivots, seatstay pivots and shock mount are replaceable.
