What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"The Vala Lite gets out of its own way on the trail. The motor handles the climb, and the four-bar suspension handles the descent, but the bike itself feels light enough that I'm making decisions rather than managing weight."Santa Cruz kept the motor, battery, and suspension platform intact and made targeted spec choices to bring the bike's overall weight closer to a non-motorized trail bike. The Fox 36 and lighter EXO+ tire casings take weight off the contact points where agility is felt most, without changing what makes the Vala platform work on technical terrain.
