DESCRIPTION
The Trek Checkpoint ALR 5 is an aluminium gravel bike built for venturing well beyond the tarmac. It matches modern endurance geometry with a full carbon fork for road-smoothing comfort, and clearance for up to 50 mm tyres gives you room for serious grip. A 1x SRAM Apex XPLR 12-speed drivetrain keeps shifting simple and durable, while tubeless-ready Bontrager Paradigm wheels and loads of frame and fork mounts make it ready for bikepacking, commuting and long gravel days. It carries the same updated geometry as its carbon sibling at an alloy price.
