Tallboy 6 is now out! Big changes to the new Tallboy going with the same “4-bar suspension” as the Vala. Also longer travel 140mm front suspension and 130mm or rear suspension. The bike also went on a diet even with extending the travel. The ultimate light weight trail bike!

Meet the all-new Santa Cruz Vala Lite ⚡️

Light, fast, and incredibly capable, the Vala Lite blends that classic Santa Cruz ride feel with a more efficient, pedal-friendly platform. It climbs with ease, descends with confidence, and feels right at home on everything from big trail days to after-work laps.

This is the bike for riders who want maximum performance without the extra weight—responsive, playful, and ready to cover serious ground without beating you up.

If you’ve been looking for that perfect balance between speed and capability…this might be it.

Gorge Gravel is this weekend. Make sure you have the right tires for the race. Is bigger better? The great gravel tire debate continues

A bigger gravel tire (think ~40–50mm) can completely change how your bike feels out on rough roads—and for most riders, it’s a big upgrade in both comfort and confidence.

More comfort = less fatigue
A larger tire holds more air volume, which lets you run lower pressure. That means it absorbs chatter, washboard, and small bumps instead of transferring them to your body—saving energy over long rides.

Better traction and control
With more rubber on the ground, bigger tires give you improved grip on loose gravel, sand, and corners. You’ll feel more planted, especially when descending or riding technical sections.

Fewer flats (especially tubeless)
Lower pressures + higher volume = less chance of pinch flats and better resistance to sharp impacts. Tubeless setups with bigger tires are especially reliable on chunky terrain.

More confidence at speed
When the road gets rough or unpredictable, a bigger tire smooths things out and gives you a more stable ride—so you can stay relaxed and keep your momentum.

The trade-off?
Slightly more rolling resistance on smooth pavement—but modern gravel tires are surprisingly fast, and for most Gorge-style riding, the added comfort and control far outweigh any minor speed loss.

Bottom line: Bigger tires let you ride longer, smoother, and with more confidence—especially on the kind of mixed, rough terrain we see around here.
