DESCRIPTION
The Trek Checkpoint SL 7 AXS Gen 3 is a carbon gravel bike built to explore the beyond. Its lightweight 500 Series OCLV Carbon frame uses Gravel Endurance geometry and IsoSpeed to soak up vibration over chatter and potholes, with clearance for up to 50 mm tyres and internal downtube storage for spares. It is loaded with the upgrades that matter: a 13-speed wireless SRAM Force XPLR AXS drivetrain, a carbon seatpost and tubeless-ready Bontrager Aeolus Elite 35V carbon wheels. For long gravel adventures and bikepacking trips, it is hard to beat.
