Checkpoint SL 5 AXS Gen 3 Gravel Bike - Black
Explore roads and paths less travelled with the Checkpoint SL 5 AXS Gen 3 Gravel Bike from Trek. Engineered with a lightweight 500 Series OCLV carbon frame and fork and new Gravel Endurance geometry, this bike offers a lightweight, responsive ride with a confident and comfortable geometry that gives a more relaxed, upright riding position with a shorter reach. The wider gravel-specific tyres ensure better traction and stability over rougher terrain and there’s tyre clearance to upgrade to beefier 50mm tyres when things get hairy.
IsoSpeed comfort tech has been implemented to smooth the gravel ahead of you, soaking up vibrations from loose gravel trails and potholes on the roads. Equipped with an electronic SRAM Apex XPLR AXS 1x12 drivetrain, the Checkpoint SL 5 offers fully-wireless shifting that is precise and offers plenty of gears for tough trails and steep ascents, and flat mount hydraulic disc brakes provide a cleaner look and lighter feel, excelling even in harsh conditions. The Checkpoint SL 5 has also been developed to accept compatible suspension forks (up to 40mm of travel) and dropper posts, so you can upgrade and elevate your bike’s performance when taking things uphill or over more technical terrain.
Load up on everything you need for bikepacking or touring with numerous mounting points across the frame and fork, from front and rear rack mounts to mudguards and extra hydration, as well as bigger in-frame storage that offers a convenient place to stash your flat tools in the event of some maintenance whilst on the go. A gravel powerhouse that suits both performance and price point, the Checkpoint SL 5 AXS Gravel Bike will see you through numerous bikepacking and touring adventures.
