Vala C Eagle 70 E-Bike

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Vala 70 is the kind of e-bike that disappears underneath you—in the best way. It feels planted, playful, and incredibly responsive, with suspension that’s tuned to take a beating but still feel lively. With the Zeb fork, Float X shock, and Santa Cruz’s frame pedigree, it climbs clean and descends even better. I can ride longer, harder, and hit lines I usually save for my enduro rig."

Big terrain demands serious capability, and the Santa Cruz Vala 70 delivers in full-force. With 150mm of rear travel and a 160mm fork, this is a full-power e-MTB built for riders who want to climb longer, ride farther, and smash the descents just as hard. From after-work laps to all-day missions, the Vala keeps things responsive, composed, and downright fun.

The build centers around a Carbon C frame and Santa Cruz’s dialed suspension kinematics, brought to life by a FOX Float X Performance shock and a 160mm RockShox Zeb Base fork for big-hit capability. SRAM’s Eagle T-Type drivetrain offers rock-solid, wireless shifting, and DB8 brakes with oversized rotors bring all the stopping power you’ll ever need. A mixed wheel setup and Reserve aluminum wheels keep it agile without compromising rollover. Whether you’re chasing friends uphill or charging down tech, the Vala 70 brings the juice.

Heads up — We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning—and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you’ll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.
