That's enough raw grunt for almost everyone and with all four power modes able to be fully customised, every rider can retune the system so that they can find their own perfect balance of range vs power. There's also tuneable and highly effective traction control and overrun now available allowing even more personalisation and the Bosch Gen 5 system is by some distance the most reliable E-Bike motor to date, meaning more time riding and less disruption. The lightweight 600W capacity internal battery can also be further boosted by Bosch's 250W Powermore range extender for truly long days in the saddle, creating a hugely flexible system. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/2769\/0849\/files\/SantaCruz-Bullit-Bosch-Powermore-GlossPurple-2027-TweedValleyBikes_1024x1024.jpg?v=1792844068\" alt=\"Bosch Powermore Range extender on the Bullit\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLengthened geo compared to the Vala gives the Bullit incredible calmness at speed and coupled to the 170mm of well executed travel, it results in a bike where the only limits are going to be defined by the skill and bravery of its rider. Bike park runs, big hits or super technical steep trails are the natural hunting grounds of the Bullit, though it's also happy pumping through rollers and looking for gaps on your local bike park flow trail. Some long travel bikes only really work when the trail is steep or fast, but the Bullit is not one of those and with a well supported suspension feel it's still very rideable on mellower terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/2769\/0849\/files\/SantaCruz-Bullit-riding-Waterworld-Golfie-TweedValleyBikes_1024x1024.jpg?v=1792849812\" alt=\"Classic Bullit terrain - Waterworld on the Golfie\" style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis build, the CC XO, uses Santa Cruz's highest grade carbon construction to minimise frame weight then adds a Fox Factory 38 and X2 suspension setup, SRAM XO drivetrain and Reserve carbon wheels to create a bike that's exceptionally light and snappy to ride for a long travel, full power bike.

If you ride a mix of bikepark, downhill, off-piste or big mountain terrain as the bulk of your days out then this could well be the bike for you. It will ride perfectly well on the UK trail centres and easier trails, but if that's mostly what you do, then you should probably check out the Vala as well before you decide, it's just a bit more peppy and nimble when the trails are flatter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy pick a Santa Cruz?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAsides from the fact the bikes ride really well, they've built their reputation on quality. Everything is easy to work on, built to last and well put together so their bikes are as easy to own and live with as any in the world. On top of that, their warranty and crash replacement schemes are exceptional, with a true lifetime cover on all Santa Cruz frames and Reserve rims, and they have a reputation for standing by their warranty when it is occasionally needed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy only a 600W battery?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a deliberate choice taken to improve the ride quality of the bike. Going from a 600W to 800W battery adds around a kilo of weight to a bike, and that extra weight is added at the top of the downtube, which is worst possible place to put it. By sticking with the smaller battery size, the bikes weight is kept more central, which helps when lifting the front wheel, cornering and riding steep terrain. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does a Bullit weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are light for a long travel full power bike. The CC XO build comes in under 22kg set up tubeless without pedals. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Range will I get on the battery?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn impossible question to answer unfortunately, as it depends on too many factors. Tire choice, ground conditions, rider weight, steepness of climb and gear selection all make quite a difference to range on any given day. If you're not sure a bike will have the capacity you are looking for then we would always recommend a days demo ride to work whether it's enough for you or not. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does a recharge take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the stock 4A charger, the bikes top up at around 30% per hour, with charge rate slowing somewhat in the final 10%. There's a super fast 12A charger coming soon, which will more than double that speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I charge my bike as soon as I get home?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeally not. All Lithium Ion batteries are best stored between 30% and 60% for long term health, so if you know you aren't going to ride again for a week or two (and are organised enough to remember) it would ideally be better to leave your bike only partially charged until the day before your next ride. It's not the end of the world, but your battery will keep its full capacity for long if it doesn't sit at 100% charge the whole time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the warranty on the Bosch electrical system?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's two years for all Bosch parts. Warranty rates on the latest Bosch E-bike motors are actually incredibly low and we've never seen an in warranty period fault refused. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo you take Cycle to Work Vouchers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe take vouchers from all the major UK schemes, with the only exception being Halfords. If your scheme is likely to be slow to issue your voucher, we can also take deposit payments to reserve a bike while you wait for the voucher to be issued so that you won't miss out on the bike of

years ago.

Light, nimble and easy to ride, yet also stout and stiff it has proved able to turn it's hand to an exceptionally wide range of riding and at 150mm rear travel (with a 160mm fork) it's as close to a  goldilocks E-Bike as can be made for many people. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the latest Gen 5 Bosch motor providing the drive, it's quiet while climbing, silent descending and powerful, with up to 120Nm of torque and 750 watts of sustained power on tap.

It's totally appropriate for everything from trail centres, cross country riding and natural singletrack to steep enduro trails and at 150mm rear travel the ceiling on how hard it can go before it starts to get overwhelmed is very high. It's a bike that prioritises responsiveness to rider input, so if you prefer to work your bike down the trail rather than charge through the bumps this is likely the one for you. On the other hand, if you mostly ride DH type trails, or just want to smash all the holes, then you'd likely be better to start with the Bullit. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy pick a Santa Cruz?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAsides from the fact the bikes ride really well, they've built their reputation on quality.

Light, nimble and easy to ride, yet also stout and stiff it has proved able to turn it's hand to an exceptionally wide range of riding and at 150mm rear travel (with a 160mm fork) it's as close to a  goldilocks E-Bike as can be made for many people. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the latest Gen 5 Bosch motor providing the drive, it's quiet while climbing, silent descending and powerful, with up to 120Nm of torque and 750 watts of sustained power on tap. That's enough raw grunt for almost everyone and with all four power modes able to be fully customised, every rider can retune the system so that they can find their own perfect balance of range vs power. There's also tuneable and highly effective traction control and overrun now available allowing even more personalisation and the Bosch Gen 5 system is by some distance the most reliable E-Bike motor to date, meaning more time riding and less disruption. The lightweight 600W capacity internal battery can also be further boosted by Bosch's 250W Powermore range extender for truly long days in the saddle, creating a hugely flexible system. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/2769\/0849\/files\/SantaCruz-Bullit-Bosch-Powermore-GlossPurple-2027-TweedValleyBikes_1024x1024.jpg?v=1792844068\" alt=\"Bosch Powermore Range extender on the Bullit\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA near perfectly balanced geometry set and supportive suspension design make the Vala one of those very rare bikes that's almost never out of place.

At under 22kg and with excellent weight balance thanks to the 600W internal battery the ride quality is closer to a regular mountain bike than just about any other E-Bike and for those who prefer a bike than can be ridden actively it is very hard to beat.

It's totally appropriate for everything from trail centres, cross country riding and natural singletrack to steep enduro trails and at 150mm rear travel the ceiling on how hard it can go before it starts to get overwhelmed is very high. It's a bike that prioritises responsiveness to rider input, so if you prefer to work your bike down the trail rather than charge through the bumps this is likely the one for you. On the other hand, if you mostly ride DH type trails, or just want to smash all the holes, then you'd likely be better to start with the Bullit. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy pick a Santa Cruz?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAsides from the fact the bikes ride really well, they've built their reputation on quality. Everything is easy to work on, built to last and well put together so their bikes are as easy to own and live with as any in the world. On top of that, their warranty and crash replacement schemes are exceptional, with a true lifetime cover on all Santa Cruz frames and Reserve rims, and they have a reputation for standing by their warranty when it is occasionally needed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy only a 600W battery?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a deliberate choice taken to improve the ride quality of the bike. Going from a 600W to 800W battery adds around a kilo of weight to a bike, and that extra weight is added at the top of the downtube, which is worst possible place to put it. By sticking with the smaller battery size, the bikes weight is kept more central, which helps when lifting the front wheel, cornering and riding steep terrain. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Range will I get from the battery on the Vala?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn impossible question to answer unfortunately, as it depends on too many factors. Tire choice, ground conditions, rider weight, steepness of climb and gear selection all make quite a difference to range on any given day. If you're not sure a bike will have the capacity you are looking for then we would always recommend a days demo ride to work whether it's enough for you or not. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does a recharge take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the stock 4A charger, the bikes top up at around 30% per hour, with charge rate slowing somewhat in the final 10%. There's a super fast 12A charger coming soon, which will more than double that speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I charge my bike as soon as I get home?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeally not. All Lithium Ion batteries are best stored between 30% and 60% for long term health, so if you know you aren't going to ride again for a week or two (and are organised enough to remember) it would ideally be better to leave your bike only partially charged until the day before your next ride.

There's also tuneable and highly effective traction control and overrun now available allowing even more personalisation and the Bosch Gen 5 system is by some distance the most reliable E-Bike motor to date, meaning more time riding and less disruption.

If you ride a mix of bikepark, downhill, off-piste or big mountain terrain as the bulk of your days out then this could well be the bike for you. It will ride perfectly well on the UK trail centres and easier trails, but if that's mostly what you do, then you should probably check out the Vala as well before you decide, it's just a bit more peppy and nimble when the trails are flatter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy pick a Santa Cruz?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAsides from the fact the bikes ride really well, they've built their reputation on quality. Everything is easy to work on, built to last and well put together so their bikes are as easy to own and live with as any in the world. On top of that, their warranty and crash replacement schemes are exceptional, with a true lifetime cover on all Santa Cruz frames and Reserve rims, and they have a reputation for standing by their warranty when it is occasionally needed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy only a 600W battery?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a deliberate choice taken to improve the ride quality of the bike. Going from a 600W to 800W battery adds around a kilo of weight to a bike, and that extra weight is added at the top of the downtube, which is worst possible place to put it. By sticking with the smaller battery size, the bikes weight is kept more central, which helps when lifting the front wheel, cornering and riding steep terrain. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Range will I get on the battery?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn impossible question to answer unfortunately, as it depends on too many factors. Tire choice, ground conditions, rider weight, steepness of climb and gear selection all make quite a difference to range on any given day. If you're not sure a bike will have the capacity you are looking for then we would always recommend a days demo ride to work whether it's enough for you or not. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does a recharge take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the stock 4A charger, the bikes top up at around 30% per hour, with charge rate slowing somewhat in the final 10%. There's a super fast 12A charger coming soon, which will more than double that speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I charge my bike as soon as I get home?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeally not. All Lithium Ion batteries are best stored between 30% and 60% for long term health, so if you know you aren't going to ride again for a week or two (and are organised enough to remember) it would ideally be better to leave your bike only partially charged until the day before your next ride. It's not the end of the world, but your battery will keep its full capacity for long if it doesn't sit at 100% charge the whole time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the warranty on the Bosch electrical system?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's two years for all Bosch parts.

Light, nimble and easy to ride, yet also stout and stiff it has proved able to turn it's hand to an exceptionally wide range of riding and at 150mm rear travel (with a 160mm fork) it's as close to a  goldilocks E-Bike as can be made for many people. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the latest Gen 5 Bosch motor providing the drive, it's quiet while climbing, silent descending and powerful, with up to 120Nm of torque and 750 watts of sustained power on tap. That's enough raw grunt for almost everyone and with all four power modes able to be fully customised, every rider can retune the system so that they can find their own perfect balance of range vs power. There's also tuneable and highly effective traction control and overrun now available allowing even more personalisation and the Bosch Gen 5 system is by some distance the most reliable E-Bike motor to date, meaning more time riding and less disruption. The lightweight 600W capacity internal battery can also be further boosted by Bosch's 250W Powermore range extender for truly long days in the saddle, creating a hugely flexible system. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/2769\/0849\/files\/SantaCruz-Bullit-Bosch-Powermore-GlossPurple-2027-TweedValleyBikes_1024x1024.jpg?v=1792844068\" alt=\"Bosch Powermore Range extender on the Bullit\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA near perfectly balanced geometry set and supportive suspension design make the Vala one of those very rare bikes that's almost never out of place.

At under 22kg in stock trim and with excellent weight balance thanks to the 600W internal battery the ride quality is closer to a regular mountain bike than just about any other E-Bike and for those who prefer a bike than can be ridden actively it is very hard to beat.

It's totally appropriate for everything from trail centres, cross country riding and natural singletrack to steep enduro trails and at 150mm rear travel the ceiling on how hard it can go before it starts to get overwhelmed is very high. It's a bike that prioritises responsiveness to rider input, so if you prefer to work your bike down the trail rather than charge through the bumps this is likely the one for you. On the other hand, if you mostly ride DH type trails, or just want to smash all the holes, then you'd likely be better to start with the Bullit. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy pick a Santa Cruz?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAsides from the fact the bikes ride really well, they've built their reputation on quality. Everything is easy to work on, built to last and well put together so their bikes are as easy to own and live with as any in the world. On top of that, their warranty and crash replacement schemes are exceptional, with a true lifetime cover on all Santa Cruz frames and Reserve rims, and they have a reputation for standing by their warranty when it is occasionally needed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy only a 600W battery?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a deliberate choice taken to improve the ride quality of the bike. Going from a 600W to 800W battery adds around a kilo of weight to a bike, and that extra weight is added at the top of the downtube, which is worst possible place to put it. By sticking with the smaller battery size, the bikes weight is kept more central, which helps when lifting the front wheel, cornering and riding steep terrain. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Range will I get from the battery on the Vala?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn impossible question to answer unfortunately, as it depends on too many factors. Tire choice, ground conditions, rider weight, steepness of climb and gear selection all make quite a difference to range on any given day. If you're not sure a bike will have the capacity you are looking for then we would always recommend a days demo ride to work whether it's enough for you or not. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does a recharge take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the stock 4A charger, the bikes top up at around 30% per hour, with charge rate slowing somewhat in the final 10%. There's a super fast 12A charger coming soon, which will more than double that speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I charge my bike as soon as I get home?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeally not. All Lithium Ion batteries are best stored between 30% and 60% for long term health, so if you know you aren't going to ride again for a week or two (and are organised enough to remember) it would ideally be better to leave your bike only partially charged until the day before your next ride. It's not the end of the world, but your battery will keep its full capacity for long if it doesn't sit at 100% charge the whole time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the warranty on the Bosch electrical system?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's two years for all Bosch parts.

That's enough raw grunt for almost everyone and with all four power modes able to be fully customised, every rider can retune the system so that they can find their own perfect balance of range vs power. There's also tuneable and highly effective traction control and overrun now available allowing even more personalisation and the Bosch Gen 5 system is by some distance the most reliable E-Bike motor to date, meaning more time riding and less disruption. The lightweight 600W capacity internal battery can also be further boosted by Bosch's 250W Powermore range extender for truly long days in the saddle, creating a hugely flexible system. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/2769\/0849\/files\/SantaCruz-Bullit-Bosch-Powermore-GlossPurple-2027-TweedValleyBikes_1024x1024.jpg?v=1792844068\" alt=\"Bosch Powermore Range extender on the Bullit\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLengthened geo compared to the Vala gives the Bullit incredible calmness at speed and coupled to the 170mm of well executed travel, it results in a bike where the only limits are going to be defined by the skill and bravery of its rider. Bike park runs, big hits or super technical steep trails are the natural hunting grounds of the Bullit, though it's also happy pumping through rollers and looking for gaps on your local bike park flow trail. Some long travel bikes only really work when the trail is steep or fast, but the Bullit is not one of those and with a well supported suspension feel it's still very rideable on mellower terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/2769\/0849\/files\/SantaCruz-Bullit-Riding-GlossBlack-Thornilee-TweedValleyBikes_1024x1024.jpg?v=1792844828\" alt=\"Riding the Santa Cruz Bullit in the Tweed Valley\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis build, the C GX AXS, combines Fox Performance Elite suspension, Maven brakes a SRAM GX AXS wireless drivetrain and Reserve Alloy wheels to create a super tough build kit with highly tuneable suspension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWant to demo some bikes before you commit to check sizes or compare models?

If you ride a mix of bikepark, downhill, off-piste or big mountain terrain as the bulk of your days out then this could well be the bike for you. It will ride perfectly well on the UK trail centres and easier trails, but if that's mostly what you do, then you should probably check out the Vala as well before you decide, it's just a bit more peppy and nimble when the trails are flatter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy pick a Santa Cruz?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAsides from the fact the bikes ride really well, they've built their reputation on quality. Everything is easy to work on, built to last and well put together so their bikes are as easy to own and live with as any in the world. On top of that, their warranty and crash replacement schemes are exceptional, with a true lifetime cover on all Santa Cruz frames and Reserve rims, and they have a reputation for standing by their warranty when it is occasionally needed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy only a 600W battery?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a deliberate choice taken to improve the ride quality of the bike. Going from a 600W to 800W battery adds around a kilo of weight to a bike, and that extra weight is added at the top of the downtube, which is worst possible place to put it. By sticking with the smaller battery size, the bikes weight is kept more central, which helps when lifting the front wheel, cornering and riding steep terrain. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does a Bullit weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are light for a long travel full power bike. The C builds come in at just over 22kg set up tubeless without pedals. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Range will I get on the battery?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn impossible question to answer unfortunately, as it depends on too many factors. Tire choice, ground conditions, rider weight, steepness of climb and gear selection all make quite a difference to range on any given day. If you're not sure a bike will have the capacity you are looking for then we would always recommend a days demo ride to work whether it's enough for you or not. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does a recharge take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the stock 4A charger, the bikes top up at around 30% per hour, with charge rate slowing somewhat in the final 10%. There's a super fast 12A charger coming soon, which will more than double that speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I charge my bike as soon as I get home?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeally not. All Lithium Ion batteries are best stored between 30% and 60% for long term health, so if you know you aren't going to ride again for a week or two (and are organised enough to remember) it would ideally be better to leave your bike only partially charged until the day before your next ride. It's not the end of the world, but your battery will keep its full capacity for long if it doesn't sit at 100% charge the whole time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the warranty on the Bosch electrical system?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's two years for all Bosch parts.

Light, nimble and easy to ride, yet also stout and stiff it has proved able to turn it's hand to an exceptionally wide range of riding and at 150mm rear travel (with a 160mm fork) it's as close to a  goldilocks E-Bike as can be made for many people. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the latest Gen 5 Bosch motor providing the drive, it's quiet while climbing, silent descending and powerful, with up to 120Nm of torque and 750 watts of sustained power on tap. That's enough raw grunt for almost everyone and with all four power modes able to be fully customised, every rider can retune the system so that they can find their own perfect balance of range vs power. There's also tuneable and highly effective traction control and overrun now available allowing even more personalisation and the Bosch Gen 5 system is by some distance the most reliable E-Bike motor to date, meaning more time riding and less disruption. The lightweight 600W capacity internal battery can also be further boosted by Bosch's 250W Powermore range extender for truly long days in the saddle, creating a hugely flexible system. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/2769\/0849\/files\/SantaCruz-Bullit-Bosch-Powermore-GlossPurple-2027-TweedValleyBikes_1024x1024.jpg?v=1792844068\" alt=\"Bosch Powermore Range extender on the Bullit\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA near perfectly balanced geometry set and supportive suspension design make the Vala one of those very rare bikes that's almost never out of place. It's quick feeling, responsive and lively when descending flatter or mellower trails and an easy bike for a beginner to ride, yet it's also brilliant when pushed into steep and technical ground with both some of our staff and customers choosing it as their bike of choice for riding and racing pure enduro terrain. At 21kg in stock trim and with excellent weight balance thanks to the 600W internal battery the ride quality is closer to a regular mountain bike than just about any other E-Bike and for those who prefer a bike than can be ridden actively it is very hard to beat.

For lighter riders, or for those who want an E-Bike that feels as much as  possible like a regular MTB on the descents this one is as close as it can get and it does it without even being more expensive than the heavier builds. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWant to demo some bikes before you commit to check sizes or compare models?

It's totally appropriate for everything from trail centres, cross country riding and natural singletrack to steep enduro trails and at 150mm rear travel the ceiling on how hard it can go before it starts to get overwhelmed is very high. It's a bike that prioritises responsiveness to rider input, so if you prefer to work your bike down the trail rather than charge through the bumps this is likely the one for you. On the other hand, if you mostly ride DH type trails, or just want to smash all the holes, then you'd likely be better to start with the Bullit. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy pick a Santa Cruz?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAsides from the fact the bikes ride really well, they've built their reputation on quality. Everything is easy to work on, built to last and well put together so their bikes are as easy to own and live with as any in the world. On top of that, their warranty and crash replacement schemes are exceptional, with a true lifetime cover on all Santa Cruz frames and Reserve rims, and they have a reputation for standing by their warranty when it is occasionally needed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy only a 600W battery?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a deliberate choice taken to improve the ride quality of the bike. Going from a 600W to 800W battery adds around a kilo of weight to a bike, and that extra weight is added at the top of the downtube, which is worst possible place to put it. By sticking with the smaller battery size, the bikes weight is kept more central, which helps when lifting the front wheel, cornering and riding steep terrain. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Range will I get from the battery on the Vala?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn impossible question to answer unfortunately, as it depends on too many factors. Tire choice, ground conditions, rider weight, steepness of climb and gear selection all make quite a difference to range on any given day. If you're not sure a bike will have the capacity you are looking for then we would always recommend a days demo ride to work whether it's enough for you or not. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does a recharge take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the stock 4A charger, the bikes top up at around 30% per hour, with charge rate slowing somewhat in the final 10%. There's a super fast 12A charger coming soon, which will more than double that speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I charge my bike as soon as I get home?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeally not. All Lithium Ion batteries are best stored between 30% and 60% for long term health, so if you know you aren't going to ride again for a week or two (and are organised enough to remember) it would ideally be better to leave your bike only partially charged until the day before your next ride. It's not the end of the world, but your battery will keep its full capacity for long if it doesn't sit at 100% charge the whole time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the warranty on the Bosch electrical system?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's two years for all Bosch parts.

the Vala\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first Santa Cruz E-Bike to be based around their new 4 bar platform, the Vala caused quite a fuss when it originally launched a couple of years ago. Any initial objections rapidly vanished \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tweedvalleybikes.mom\/blogs\/news\/first-ride-santa-cruz-vala\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eas soon as people started riding the bike\u003c\/a\u003e, with the Vala picking up rave reviews from shop staff, journalists and the public alike. Light, nimble and easy to ride, yet also stout and stiff it has proved able to turn it's hand to an exceptionally wide range of riding and at 150mm rear travel (with a 160mm fork) it's as close to a  goldilocks E-Bike as can be made for many people. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the latest Gen 5 Bosch motor providing the drive, it's quiet while climbing, silent descending and powerful, with up to 120Nm of torque and 750 watts of sustained power on tap. That's enough raw grunt for almost everyone and with all four power modes able to be fully customised, every rider can retune the system so that they can find their own perfect balance of range vs power. There's also tuneable and highly effective traction control and overrun now available allowing even more personalisation and the Bosch Gen 5 system is by some distance the most reliable E-Bike motor to date, meaning more time riding and less disruption. The lightweight 600W capacity internal battery can also be further boosted by Bosch's 250W Powermore range extender for truly long days in the saddle, creating a hugely flexible system. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/2769\/0849\/files\/SantaCruz-Bullit-Bosch-Powermore-GlossPurple-2027-TweedValleyBikes_1024x1024.jpg?v=1792844068\" alt=\"Bosch Powermore Range extender on the Bullit\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA near perfectly balanced geometry set and supportive suspension design make the Vala one of those very rare bikes that's almost never out of place. It's quick feeling, responsive and lively when descending flatter or mellower trails and an easy bike for a beginner to ride, yet it's also brilliant when pushed into steep and technical ground with both some of our staff and customers choosing it as their bike of choice for riding and racing pure enduro terrain. At under 22kg in stock trim and with excellent weight balance thanks to the 600W internal battery the ride quality is closer to a regular mountain bike than just about any other E-Bike and for those who prefer a bike than can be ridden actively it is very hard to beat. It may not be able to match the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tweedvalleybikes.mom\/products\/santa-cruz-bullit-c-90-kit-mx-2027\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBullit\u003c\/a\u003e for high speed stability when the going gets really rough, but it's a better rounded bike overall so if your riding takes in a bit of everything, then this could well the best bike for you. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/2769\/0849\/files\/SantaCruz-Vala-Enduro-Riding-Innerleithen-2026-TweedValleyBikes.jpg?v=1792850976\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bike, the CC XT Di2 Lite, takes the almost completely upgrade proof build of the CC XT Di2 and slightly tweaks it to make an even lighter bike. A top tier CC carbon frame is matched to full Fox Factory suspension with a 36 fork and Float X shock, Reserve carbon wheels and a wireless Shimano XT Di2 drivetrain, creating an incredibly clean, tuneable and high quality package. For a 150mm travel full power bike, it's also exceptionally light at 20.8kg in stock form. For a rider looking for a super light full suspension E-Bike without compromising on either power or quality it's hard to imagine anything better. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWant to demo some bikes before you commit to check sizes or compare models?

It's totally appropriate for everything from trail centres, cross country riding and natural singletrack to steep enduro trails and at 150mm rear travel the ceiling on how hard it can go before it starts to get overwhelmed is very high. It's a bike that prioritises responsiveness to rider input, so if you prefer to work your bike down the trail rather than charge through the bumps this is likely the one for you. On the other hand, if you mostly ride DH type trails, or just want to smash all the holes, then you'd likely be better to start with the Bullit. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy pick a Santa Cruz?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAsides from the fact the bikes ride really well, they've built their reputation on quality. Everything is easy to work on, built to last and well put together so their bikes are as easy to own and live with as any in the world. On top of that, their warranty and crash replacement schemes are exceptional, with a true lifetime cover on all Santa Cruz frames and Reserve rims, and they have a reputation for standing by their warranty when it is occasionally needed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy only a 600W battery?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a deliberate choice taken to improve the ride quality of the bike. Going from a 600W to 800W battery adds around a kilo of weight to a bike, and that extra weight is added at the top of the downtube, which is worst possible place to put it. By sticking with the smaller battery size, the bikes weight is kept more central, which helps when lifting the front wheel, cornering and riding steep terrain. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Range will I get from the battery on the Vala?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn impossible question to answer unfortunately, as it depends on too many factors. Tire choice, ground conditions, rider weight, steepness of climb and gear selection all make quite a difference to range on any given day. If you're not sure a bike will have the capacity you are looking for then we would always recommend a days demo ride to work whether it's enough for you or not. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does a recharge take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the stock 4A charger, the bikes top up at around 30% per hour, with charge rate slowing somewhat in the final 10%. There's a super fast 12A charger coming soon, which will more than double that speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I charge my bike as soon as I get home?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeally not. All Lithium Ion batteries are best stored between 30% and 60% for long term health, so if you know you aren't going to ride again for a week or two (and are organised enough to remember) it would ideally be better to leave your bike only partially charged until the day before your next ride. It's not the end of the world, but your battery will keep its full capacity for long if it doesn't sit at 100% charge the whole time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the warranty on the Bosch electrical system?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's two years for all Bosch parts. Warranty rates on the latest Bosch E-bike motors are actually incredibly low and we've never seen an in warranty period fault refused. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo you take Cycle to Work Vouchers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe take vouchers from all the major UK schemes, with the only exception being Halfords.
