What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: “With a 150 mm rear and 160 mm front suspension setup, Bosch Performance CX assist, and SRAM GX Eagle AXS drivetrain, the Vala GX AXS blends precision, climbing power, and enduro-worthy performance in a refined carbon chassis.”We ride the Santa Cruz Vala GX AXS when the trails demand both grunt and grace. Its Carbon C frame houses a 150 mm Horst-link rear suspension paired with a 160 mm Fox 38 Performance Elite front fork—built for charging steep descents and flowing climbs alike. The Bosch Performance CX BDU38 motor, paired with a 600 Wh PowerTube battery, delivers clean, robust power inside a sleek, integrated layout. The wireless SRAM GX Eagle AXS 1×12 drivetrain ensures crisp, precise shifting in all conditions. A mixed-wheel configuration enhances both traction and agility. From technical ascents to fast, loose descents, the Vala GX AXS is engineered to deliver trail dominance with electrified confidence. Heads up - We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning—and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.
