Trek Checkpoint SL 5 AXS Gen 3 Bike

Checkpoint ALR 3 is the best value gravel bike in the lineup. Kitted out with a 300 Series Alpha Aluminum frame, Checkpoint ALR 3 is just as responsive on chunky gravel roads as it is smooth on the tarmac. Tubeless-ready wheels help fight punctures in the rough while a 2x9-speed Shimano groupset and mechanical disc brakes balance budget with reliability.

- 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, bikepacking trips, and more

- Road-smoothing IsoSpeed comfort tech soaks up vibration from rough surfaces to keep you feeling fresher longer

- A SRAM Apex XPLR AXS 12-speed drivetrain offers precise, fully wireless shifting that's made for the roughest roads

- Clearance for 50mm tires (as measured) means 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, fenders, and Adventure Bags that were designed to perfectly fit Checkpoint
