ABOUT THE BULLIT

Launches to massive praise from riders and journalists alike, the carbon Vala has been a huge hit over this past year. Santa Cruz have now followed up with this new aluminium version to make their brilliantly riding e-bike that bit more affordable. A super capable full power E-MTB, the Santa Cruz Vala AL combines a 160mm RockShox Zeb with 150mm of four-bar rear travel and an MX wheel setup to create a real riders bike that handles well without the compromises to power and range. Powered by the brand new Bosch CX system, the Vala uses a 600W integrated battery to keep the centre of gravity of low and central for incredible handling in technical terrain, but can also be fitted with a 250W range extender, taking the bike to a massive 850W capacity for the truly epic days out. A first for Santa Cruz, the four bar linkage delivers low anti squat for amazing climbing traction and neutral manners under braking and a modern geometry set ensures perfect handling across the sizes. Ride far, fast or hard, the Vala can take it all on. Sound like it could be for you?
