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.
