TREK Checkpoint SL 5 AXS Gen 3 Gravel Bike in Trek Black and Matte Carbon Smoke

Season:2025

Brand:Trek

Code:47071BLK

The Trek Checkpoint SL 5 AXS Gen 3 is an ideal gravel bike designed for long-distance adventures, bikepacking, and tackling rough terrains. Built with comfort in mind, this bike is packed with features to ensure that you can ride further and explore new horizons with confidence.

Key Features:

  1. 500 Series OCLV Carbon Frame:

    • Lightweight and durable, the 500 Series OCLV Carbon frame is engineered to keep your ride smooth and efficient, reducing the fatigue that can come from riding on rough gravel roads.
  2. IsoSpeed Comfort Technology:

    • IsoSpeed decoupler technology is integrated into the frame to soak up road vibrations and bumps, allowing you to stay fresher for longer rides. This comfort feature is especially beneficial on rougher surfaces and long bike-packing journeys.
  3. Gravel Endurance Geometry:

    • The Gravel Endurance geometry offers a higher, more upright position with a shorter reach, making long rides more comfortable. This geometry is tailored for all-day adventures, light singletrack, and long gravel tours.
  4. SRAM Apex XPLR AXS 12-Speed Drivetrain:

    • The bike is equipped with a 12-speed 1x SRAM Apex XPLR AXS drivetrain, offering wireless electronic shifting that is precise and reliable on rough roads. This drivetrain is designed specifically for gravel riding, giving you plenty of gearing options for varied terrain.
  5. Wide Tyre Clearance:

    • The frame allows for 50 mm tyre clearance (as measured), giving you the flexibility to fit wider tires for extra traction and cushioning on rough roads.
  6. Bontrager Paradigm SL Wheels:

    • The Tubeless Ready Bontrager Paradigm SL wheels come with 42 mm tires that balance grip and speed, and they are ready to convert to tubeless for reduced risk of flats and better performance on rough terrain.
  7. Internal Downtube Storage:

    • The bike features internal downtube storage, allowing you to store tools or other essentials within the frame itself, keeping your gear secure and out of the way.
  8. Mounts for Gear:

    • With plenty of mounts on the frame and fork, you can carry all the gear you need for long adventures. These mounts accommodate hydration, front and rear racks, mudguards, and Adventure Bags designed to fit the Checkpoint perfectly.
  9. Dropper Post and Suspension Fork Compatibility:

    • The bike is also dropper post and suspension fork compatible (except for size XS), adding even more versatility for riders who want to handle more technical terrain.

The Trek Checkpoint SL 5 AXS Gen 3 is built for gravel enthusiasts who crave adventure and exploration. Its carbon frame, IsoSpeed technology, and endurance-focused geometry provide a comfortable and smooth ride, even on the roughest surfaces. With a reliable SRAM wireless drivetrain, wide tire clearance, and multiple gear-mounting options, this bike is ready for bikepacking, long gravel races, or simply exploring the road less traveled.
