Vala CC XX AXS Lite Reserve

Built for riders who want a lighter, more natural ride feel, the Vala Lite delivers a more responsive ride on the trail, ideal for longer days and less aggressive terrain.

It's everything you love about the Vala, just a bit lighter. Same full-power Bosch motor, same dialed suspension. Santa Cruz swapped in a Fox 36 instead of a 38, put on lighter tires and wheels, and pored over the spec sheet to save grams throughout the build. The result? A bike that weighs up to a pound and a half less than the standard Vala. And because a lot of the savings come from the fork and wheels, you'll feel the difference every time you lift the front end to clear obstacles, every time you accelerate out of a turn, and every time you push a little bit harder through the techy bits of trail. It's not a new bike, it's a new way to ride a full-power ebike.

FEATURES:

• Bosch Performance Line CX Motor: With 85 Nm torque and 600 watts peak power (Now user upgradeable to 120 Nm torque & 750 watts peak power), this system delivers a smooth, powerful ride with quiet, responsive performance, smart display, wireless controls, seamless Bosch Flow App integration, and proven reliability.
• Optimized Battery: A 600Wh fixed battery optimizes weight (2.2lbs lighter) and performance, with an optional 250Wh PowerMore Range Extender for longer trips, offering better range in a compact size.
• Familiar Handling: 150mm rear travel, 160mm fork travel, and an improved 4-bar suspension design for superior ride comfort, reduced anti-squat, and significant gains in anti-rise (braking) performance.
• Decoupled Flip-Chips: The geo chip raises or lowers the BB 4mm, and adjust the headtube angle 0.3-degrees. The progression chip changes the progression from 26-29%.
• MX Wheels: The 29" front wheel maintains momentum and clears obstacles, while the compact rear ensures quick transitions and smooth technical lines.
• Details Matter: Chainstays are longer. But is also matched to frame size to ensure that every rider, regardless of bike size, gets a consistent, responsive feel. Additionally, each bike is Spec'd with a longer dropper post (180mm on med, 210mm on large).   
• Lifetime Warranty: The legendary Santa Cruz fit, finish and quality construction put this into a league of its own. The frame, bearings and optional Reserve wheels come with a lifetime warranty and any service is easy to do with their Rider Support pledge.
