Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

Santa Cruz Vala AL 70 - Gloss Stormbringer Purple

Season:2026

Brand:Santa Cruz

Code:26SCVAL70P

The Vala Aluminium delivers on all of the benefits of the Vala - poised suspension, high quality parts, and legendary Santa Cruz reliability and warranty support - but in a package within reach of more riders.

The four-bar suspension is predictable and confidence inspiring and the Bosch Performance CX Line motor (the same as it is in the carbon Vala) delivers power and torque in a manner that augments your riding style, rather than overpowering it. We removed the flip-chips to eliminate tinkering and get you riding in the best all-around setup out of the box

CLASS-LEADING POWER MEETS SANTA CRUZ RIDE DYNAMICS: All the legendary ride qualities of a Santa Cruz – supreme handling, great suspension, and longevity – paired with the class-leading Bosch Performance Line CX motor and a versatile battery solution. The Vala is built for real trails and not tribulations.

WHY FOUR-BAR? WHY NOT VPPTM?: It is a challenge to package large motor where optimum VPPTM pivots would be. We wanted to apply the advances in suspension design that we’ve made on recent pedal bikes (VPPTM) to the Vala. This meant utilizing a new design, but one that gave us the freedom to make all the right spec and kinematic choices. The result is our best handling ebike.

MIXED WHEELS RIGHT FOR EBIKES: Better handling for ebikes - counteracts the extra weight of battery by providing rearward bias for best handling. Provides more freedom in chainstay length - size specific chainstay lengths, especially good for shorter riders.

BOSCH PERFORMANCE LINE CX: The NEW Bosch drive unit is powerful, reliable and quiet. The power on tap and how it delivers it makes going up trails feel like descending.
