| Style | The Checkmate SLR 8 AXS is a carbon gravel race bike built to toe the line and kick up dust on the long and rough road. To deliver the performance that you crave on race day, the Checkmate combines a lightweight aero design with IsoSpeed and new Gravel Race geometry that keeps you poised for the attack without eating up your energy. It's topped off with a 1x12 previous-generation SRAM RED XPLR AXS wireless drivetrain, carbon wheels and Trek Aero RSL bar/stem for a lightweight build. The all-new Checkmate SLR is Trek's first-ever dedicated gravel race bike and their lightest and fastest gravel bike ever, perfect for crushing the category’s most epic events. Highlights: - Checkmate is a gravel bike that's made to soar straight off the starting line - Premium ultra-light 800 Series OCLV Carbon with new lightweight tube shape technology - Aero-optimised: Checkmate is fast, with the same new Full System Foil aero tube shapes and aero one-piece bar/stem as Madone Gen 8 - Checkmate features the same ultra-light and aero one-piece carbon bar/stem as Madone Gen 8, with hoods that are 3cm narrower than the drops so riders can choose between a more aero or more controlled position and enjoy more ergonomic comfort on the tops - Comfort isn't kicked to the side, thanks to the ride-tuned OCLV Carbon frame, road-smoothing IsoSpeed tech and clearance room for tyres up to 45mm wide (as measured) - New Gravel Race geometry keeps you tucked out of the wind and poised for the attack without compromising the fit you need for comfort through long miles - It comes equipped with plenty of mounts to add Adventure Bags and carry all your race-day essentials It's right for you if... You want to test your mettle at gravel racing's most epic events. You need a bike that delivers aerodynamics and light weight, but not at the cost of your comfort. Performance matters to you, and you want performance components to elevate your ride, like a previous-generation SRAM RED XPLR AXS wireless electronic drivetrain. The tech you get: A lightweight and aerodynamic 800 Series OCLV Carbon frame with IsoSpeed comfort technology and plenty of mounts to carry race-day essentials. Bontrager Aeolus Pro 3V carbon wheels and a Trek Aero RSL carbon bar/stem that keep your ride light and nimble. Plus, a previous-generation 1x12 SRAM RED XPLR AXS drivetrain with wireless shifting that's built for rougher roads. |
