4 天之前 · What is the Vala? If this is the first you've heard of this bike, and you missed my first impressions review, the Vala is a new eMTB platform for Santa Cruz.You could call it a replacement for the 2023 Heckler(not to be confused with the Heckler SL) and it has a similar use case, geometry numbers and travel (160 front and 150 rear).So why did Santa Cruz break …

2024年11月12日 · The worst element of the rapid changes we've seen in mountain bikes over the last ten years is the increase in obsolescence.

2025年1月2日 · The team is set to make waves in the new season, with downhill legends and fresh talent ready to dominate the world cup stage. After building a lot of momentum in 2024, Norco Race Division is rolling into 2025 with a stacked team …
