2026 Santa Cruz Vala AL 70 (Blemish | SCB251211)

This 2026 Santa Cruz Vala AL 70 in Gloss Stormbringer Purple is a brand new electric mountain bike with very minor cosmetic damage. Because of the small blemish, Airpark Bike Co can offer it at a big discount while still giving you the full new-bike experience. It includes the standard lifetime frame warranty from Santa Cruz Bicycles, and it is built for riders who want confident full-power assistance, modern mixed-wheel handling, and dependable all-mountain capability.Condition Notes: Small chip on left side of frame just in front of the motor.The Vala AL 70 brings Santa Cruz ride quality into a tough aluminum eMTB platform. It is made for big days, technical climbs, chunky descents, and fast trail rides where extra support lets you go farther without giving up a natural mountain bike feel. The Bosch Performance Line CX drive unit gives the bike strong, predictable power with 85 Nm of torque and 600 watts of peak output. Paired with a 600Wh integrated Bosch PowerTube battery, it has the range and punch to handle long loops, steep routes, and repeated climbs.Suspension travel is right in the sweet spot for aggressive trail and all-mountain riding. The RockShox ZEB Base fork provides 160mm of travel up front, while the RockShox Super Deluxe Base rear shock controls 150mm of rear travel through Santa Cruz's suspension layout. That combination gives the Vala enough support for rough terrain while keeping it efficient and composed when the trail points back uphill. It is the kind of eMTB that feels planted when speeds rise, yet still manageable when the route gets tight or technical.The mixed-wheel setup gives the bike a confident, playful ride. The 29-inch front wheel helps it roll over ledges, roots, and braking bumps, while the 27.5-inch rear wheel keeps the back end easier to move around through corners. Maxxis tires add proven grip, with an Assegai up front and Minion DHR II in the rear. Reserve 30 HD AL rims give the wheelset a strong trail-ready foundation for riders who plan to use the bike as intended.The SRAM Eagle 70 Transmission drivetrain keeps the build durable and practical, with a wide 10-52T cassette for steep climbs and fast transfers. SRAM DB8 four-piston brakes with large rotors provide dependable stopping power for the extra speed and weight of an eMTB. The bike also includes a OneUp stem, Santa Cruz aluminum handlebar, SDG Tellis dropper post, and WTB Silverado saddle, giving the cockpit and contact points a familiar, trail-focused feel.This blemished Vala AL 70 is a strong opportunity for someone who wants a new Santa Cruz eMTB at a discounted price. The small chip near the motor area is cosmetic, and the bike still delivers the same powerful motor system, capable suspension, lifetime frame support, and new-bike value that make the Vala such a compelling ride.
