The fork is paired with a Fox Float X Performance Elite 205 x 60 mm rear shock controlling 150 mm of rear travel.Together, the 160 mm front and 150 mm rear suspension platform gives the Vala the travel needed for rough trails, technical features and fast descents while maintaining support and control across varied terrain.Bosch Performance Line CX MotorThe Bosch Performance Line CX motor provides smooth pedal assistance for technical climbs, long ascents and demanding trail riding.

Motor characteristics can also be customised through the Bosch eBike Flow app to suit different terrain and riding preferences.600 Wh Integrated BatteryA Bosch PowerTube 600 Wh battery is integrated into the frame, providing the energy required for longer trail rides and extended climbing. The Bosch user interface and remote provide convenient access to assistance modes and ride information while on the bike.SRAM GX Eagle AXS TransmissionSRAM GX Eagle AXS T-Type provides a 12 speed wireless electronic drivetrain designed for precise shifting on demanding mountain bike terrain.
