Santa Cruz Bicycles Vala XT Di2 Lite RSV 2027 (S, Matte Carbon Sparkle)

The Santa Cruz Vala XT Di2 Lite RSV (2027) is a flagship full-power carbon e-MTB built on a Carbon CC frame with 150mm of rear travel (FOX Float X Factory shock) and a 160mm FOX 36 Float Factory fork. It runs a Bosch Performance Line CX Gen 5 (BDU38) mid-drive with an internal Bosch PowerTube battery (optional PowerMore range extender), a Shimano Deore XT Di2 M8260 12-speed electronic drivetrain, Shimano XT hydraulic brakes with 200mm rotors, Reserve 30|HD carbon wheels on DT Swiss 350 hubs in a mixed-wheel (29" front / 27.5" rear) "MX" setup, and Maxxis tires. This is the S-frame Matte Carbon Sparkle build. The "Lite" build is lighter than the standard Vala, using a FOX 36 fork. It shares the Vala chassis and Bosch drive system with the XX AXS Lite RSV but uses a Shimano XT Di2 groupset and brakes instead of SRAM, at a lower price.
