Trek Checkpoint SL 5 Carbon Gravel Bike 2020 - Gravel

Season:2020

Brand:Trek

Code:243872020Gravel

Beeline: Trek Checkpoint SL 5 is a great all round carbon gravel bike, capable on road and on some rough stuff, making it highly versatile with road bike performance.

The frame is made from Trek's OCLV 500 Series Carbon, making it lighter than the aluminium AL & ALR models with improved ride quality absorbing buzz and vibrations with a Checkpoint carbon fork. 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.

The SL 5 comes equipped with Shimano 105 11 Speed drivetrain for 22 gears, with a compact chainset and wide range 11-34 tooth cassette. The Shimano hydraulic disc brakes deliver powerful braking, in all conditions, whether wet or muddy.

The Bontrager wheels are tubeless ready and come equipped with Schwalbe G-One Allround gravel tyres in 35c width, the Checkpoint SL 5 will allow for 40c width tyres, with room for knobbles. Is great for blasting around local trails, roads or setting off an adventure.

Trek: The Checkpoint SL 5 is a carbon gravel bike made for epic all-road adventures. It's built with a full Shimano 105 drivetrain and hydraulic disc brakes, but the defining feature of this model is the lightweight OCLV Carbon frame with IsoSpeed, a decoupler at the top tube/seat tube junction that provides additional compliance over rough terrain so you can stay stronger for longer.

It's right for you if....Chamois or cut-off shorts, bikepacking trip or brutal day of gravel racing – you're going to ride far, go fast and have a great time. You'd rather spend your money on a lightweight carbon frame than a top-of-the-line drivetrain, but you still expect your workhorse gravel bike to perform. You want a bike that's both fast and comfortable, and you want endless carrying options for gravel races and everyday adventures.

The tech you get: A 500 Series OCLV Carbon frame with Rear IsoSpeed, powerful flat mount hydraulic disc brakes, a full 2x11 Shimano 105 groupset and 700x35 Schwalbe TL-EX G-One Tubeless Ready gravel tyres. Checkpoint SL 5 also has Control Freak internal cable routing, an alloy seatmast cap, Carbon Armour to protect your frame against debris, 12 mm thru axles and Stranglehold dropouts that make it easy to fine-tune your geometry or run singlespeed.

The final word: Light, fast, comfortable. The Checkpoint SL 5 is a carbon gravel bike that nails this trifecta. A quality groupset, massive tyre clearance, options for carrying gear, an OCLV Carbon frame with IsoSpeed and a ride quality that can't be matched.

Why you'll love it:

  • The IsoSpeed decoupler cuts down on fatiguing bumps in gravel so you can wander more, reach new places and stay stronger for longer
  • This bike is exceedingly versatile and suited to a wide variety of riding styles, including gravel rides, bikepacking and daily commutes
  • Extra mounts on the top tube, seat tube and both sides of the downtube make it easy to carry extra gear and water
