Beeline: Trek Checkpoint AL 3 is a great all round road gravel bike, capable on road and on some rough stuff, making it highly versatile with road bike performance. 

Designed by Trek as a Gravel Bike we have found the Checkpoint AL 3 to be popular with riders looking for a do-it-all bike, capable for commuting, road riding, but can be taken off the beaten path, and equipped with mudguards and a rack. With wide tyres that can be changed for even wider knobbly tyres, the Checkpoint delivers a stable and confident ride. 

The frame is made from Trek's Alpha 200 Series Aluminium with a carbon fork to increase ride quality and reducing weight. Based along the lines of a cyclo cross bike, the Checkpoint gravel bike has a comfortable riding position similar to endurance road bikes with plenty of room on the fork and stays to run wide knobbly tyres should you desire, for off road grip.

This AL 3 is equipped with Shimano Sora 9 Speed gears and Tektro Spyre mechanical disc brakes. The frame can be equipped with mudguards and rack helping give it versatility as a commuter or touring bike. In total the Checkpoint AL 3 has 18 gears, using a compact chainset and a wide ratio 11-32 cassette for a wide range of gears. The Bontrager wheels are tubeless ready and come equipped with Bontrager R1 Hardcase 32mm tyres, but can run up to 38mm tyres.

The Checkpoint AL 3 is a versatile bike that can be used as a commuter, adventure or touring bike, suitable for light off road riding and on the road, and looks good too!
