What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"The Vala climbs with enough efficiency that I stop wondering whether a trail is worth the effort. On the descent, 150mm of four-bar suspension and a 160mm fork keep everything planted and controlled without feeling like the bike is doing all the work for me."Santa Cruz built the Vala around a four-bar suspension platform rather than VPP specifically to accommodate the Bosch motor without compromising pivot placement or suspension performance. The result is a frame that pedals cleanly, stays active under braking, and handles the kind of rough trail feedback that exposes lesser suspension designs on long descents.
