Style | The Checkpoint SL 6 AXS Gen 3 is a carbon gravel bike ready for far-out adventures. Its lightweight carbon frame is designed with comfort-focused Gravel Endurance geometry, clearance for beefy 50mm tyres (as measured), and plenty of frame and fork mounts. Plus, IsoSpeed frame technology helps to soak up jarring road vibrations, helping you float over chatter and potholes. It's ready to cut loose with a SRAM Rival AXS wireless 12-speed group set. Highlights: - The Checkpoint's Gravel Endurance geometry lets you sit higher up and features a shorter reach to keep you comfortable on all-day gravel adventures, light singletrack, bike-packing trips and more - Road-smoothing IsoSpeed comfort tech soaks up vibration from rough surfaces to keep you feeling fresher for longer - You get crisp and clean shifts from the upgraded SRAM Rival AXS wireless electronic 12-speed drivetrain - Clearance for 50mm tyres (as measured) means that you can add extra traction and cushion for rowdy gravel roads - You can haul it all with large internal frame storage and mounts galore on the frame and fork for hydration, front and rear racks, mudguards and Adventure Bags that were designed to perfectly fit the Checkpoint - Dropper post and suspension fork compatible (except size XS) It's right for you if... You're itching for adventure and want a bike that's up for taking the road less travelled. You want IsoSpeed comfort tech to help you stay comfortable on the hardest miles, an upgraded drivetrain that can hang tough when the gravel gets deep and plenty of mounts to carry your gear and hydration packs. The tech you get: A 500 Series OCLV Carbon frame with a carbon fork, internal downtube storage, frame and fork mounts, and clearance for 50mm tyres (as measured). A 12-speed 1x SRAM Rival AXS fully wireless drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes, carbon seat post and Tubeless Ready Bontrager Paradigm Comp wheels with 42 mm tyres. Upgrades from Checkpoint SL 5 AXS GEN 3: - SRAM Rival drivetrain - SRAM Rival brakes - Bontrager Paradigm Comp 25 wheelset - Bontrager Pro stem Details: - IsoSpeed: The revolutionary IsoSpeed rear decoupler gives professional athletes and riders the world over an immediate advantage over rough roads and gravel thanks to double the compliance of a traditional road bike while still putting all the rider's power to the road. Trek's engineers designed a decoupler that allows the seat tube to rotate independently from the top tube-to-seatstay junction, increasing vertical compliance to twice that of the nearest rival system, without compromising pedalling efficiency. Result: you can ride harder, longer. - 500 Series OCLV Carbon: OCLV is Trek's patented carbon production process. Over two decades ago, Trek engineers developed the Optimum Compaction, Low Void carbon manufacturing process, enabling them to produce carbon bikes with consistency and quality previously thought impossible. It was an industry breakthrough and to this day, Trek OCLV carbon frames are the best, most consistent you can buy. Optimum Compaction means the carbon material is densely compressed, achieving the optimal fibre-to-resin ratio to maximise strength and minimise weight. Low Void (LV) means the carbon has almost no microscopic gaps between carbon layers, achieving a strength that exceeds even aerospace standards. 500 Series achieves a superb balance and light weight, strength and stiffness that's perfectly suited to the sophisticated frame technologies that distinguish Trek frames. - Tapered headtube: The fork tapers from a 1.5" lower bearing to a 1 1/8" upper bearing. The larger-diameter lower bearing keeps the fork stiffer under cornering loads and distributes forces more evenly, increasing the life of the bearings. Result: a more confident and durable ride. - Flat Mount Brakes: more elegant, lighter and smaller than standard disc brakes, providing superior performance for gravel bikes. - 3S integrated chain keeper is integrated directly into the bike frame. It's an elegant solution that provides flawless gear shifting even on rough roads and under heavy loads. No more standing on the side of the road, covered in grease, unwedging your dropped chain as competitors race by. - Blendr Integration: Blendr seamlessly mounts Bontrager Trip computers, Bontrager Ion lights and Garmin computers directly to the handlebars, keeping everything zip tie-free and in its place. - Mudguard and pannier rack compatible: Mudguard mounts allow for full-coverage mudguards so you can ride comfortably in less-than-ideal conditions. Rack mounts enable Checkpoint SL to become your favourite commuter or touring bike. |
