Handmade in Santa Cruz since 1993
Why we carry them
Santa Cruz pioneered VPP suspension and they have never stopped refining it. We keep two on the rental fleet: the Vala, a full-power Bosch e-MTB on mixed wheels, and the Tallboy, the short-travel bike most riders should try first. Ride either on Big Creek before you decide anything.
On the rental fleet
Ride these on Big Creek before you order. Up to 2 days of rental fees come off the bike.
Full-power Bosch e-MTB on mixed wheels. The one to take up Big Creek twice in an afternoon.
Rental sizes: S, M, L, XL — one bike per size
Short travel, long legs. The most versatile bike in the fleet and the one most people should demo first.

Land speed records every day. Urban e-bike built for commuters who want Santa Cruz quality on the road. Fast, practical, and unmistakably Santa Cruz.
We don't keep Santa Cruz bikes on a showroom floor. Ride one from the rental fleet on real trails, and when you know it's the bike, we order it in the size and build you want — with up to 2 days of rental fees credited toward it.
