Trek Checkpoint Force eTap AXS SL 7 Gravel Bike 2023
The Trek Checkpoint SL 7 is a lightweight carbon gravel bike, specced out with Force eTap AXS components. For riders who are looking for speed over tough gravel terrain on long rides and races, the Checkpoint delivers, with nimble yet stable handling and the efficiency that comes from a full carbon frame and fork. Rear IsoSpeed takes the sting out of rough trails for a smoother ride and more comfort, without compromising the bike's stiffness.
A SRAM Force eTap AXS wireless electronic 12-speed drivetrain provides smooth, incredibly quiet and reliable shifting and a wide gear range, while hydraulic discs bring all-weather stopping power. The carbon wheels keep weight to a minimum and are fitted with shock-absorbing, puncture-resistant 40mm wide Bontrager GR1 Team Issue tubeless-ready tyres. There's room to go wider still if required.
Built for adventure, there's internal storage in addition to mounts for a frame bag, mudguards and rack, making the highly versatile Checkpoint perfect for gravel races and bikepacking alike.
