Not ridden 500km. Never seen a bike park.
The STEVENS engineers have trimmed the Whaka down to the last detail for trail and touring suitability: The aluminum four-bar linkage impresses with short chainstays (for agile handling), low standover height and smart component integration. Added to this is the Fox Float Performance 150 mm suspension and the functional equipment - from the Shimano Deore XT Shadow Plus rear derailleur and wide-supported DT Swiss wheels to the Spank cockpit and KindShock Vario seatpost.
