    Pivot Amp’d Avinox

    It's really difficult to explain, but this bike is fun and nimble, which very often does mean the bike would not be at it's ease when speed is increasing, but this one does (or at least easy enough). Playful and fast, deliver a big smile at every ride, can handle pretty difficult terrain. The...

    Santa Cruz Vala

    I have made 3 changes on my Vala last week after having seen the reviews of the new Bullit and the comparaison between Bullit Vs Vala. 1) I have increased the travel of my 38 to 170mm to slightly change the geometry and improve stability. Honestly it is very muddy where I'm riding so cannot...

    Santa Cruz Vala

    Ce sont deux vélos totalement différents pour moi. Le Vala est beaucoup plus vif, léger, nettement plus performant que le Heckler. En terme d'autonomie, malgré sa "petite" batterie de 600W, il a une meilleure autonomie, et surtout, on peut y joindre le Powermore de 250W supplémentaire qui lui...

    For those who have swapped their rear shocks with a new Fox X2 or a Push SV8, can you please let us know honestly how it compare from the original Fox Float X ? and for those who changes the size of the shock to 205/65 if they really feel a difference ? Thanks !

    Really thinking about increasing the Fox 38 travel to 170mm and replace the rear shock by the new Fox X2 with Bullit size and valving (if I can get this information…) When checking goe’s between Vala and new Bullit, with those mods it should be really close…

    Thank you for all your advises, but my decision is taken. I’m replacing those Maven by the Tech4 V4. The Hope upgraded with Trickstuff Power+ pads are in another league in terms of braking

    Santa Cruz Vala

    I do have a more important problem on mine. Despite what I mentioned the shop did to solve the problem, my rear brake, in pretty steep downhill with strong braking, after4-5 seconds the lever is going nearly to touch the bar. Absolutely no consistency. Even when the were working "fine", you're...

    Santa Cruz Vala

    The only thing I don't like on my Vala are the Sram Maven brakes. They did a pretty decent job at the beginning, but since few weeks they do not work properly. Even after a maintenance stop by my dealer (piston's massage + purge of the systems), my rear brake is worse at every ride. I'm gonna...

    Santa Cruz Vala

    Went for the 1st service on my Vala on Tuesday. So I had the opportunity to have my bike weigthed by the shop for the first time. It's the X0 AXS version in size Large. Result is 22.18kg in riding configuration (including tires liquid, pedals HT T2, Topeak Ninja mini tool, etc.). Even taking off...

    2022 Santa Cruz Heckler

    I'm quite disappointed with the range capacity of the Heckler. The bike is a fantastic ride, but one of the reason I bought the Heckler was the range capacity with a 720W battery. Since the beginning (got the bike in June, during nice and warm days) I was surprised that the range was not really...

    2023 Heckler s wheel upgrade

    I'm riding the Reserve 30 for 14 months now, and they are just great. No issues at all. And if something happen, no question ask replacement
