Product Details
Trek Checkpoint SL 6 Rival XPLR AXS Gen 3 Gravel Bike
The Trek Checkpoint SL 6 Rival XPLR AXS Gen 3 Gravel Bike is a carbon gravel bike built for big adventures and long days in the saddle. Its lightweight OCLV Carbon frame features comfort-oriented Gravel Endurance geometry for stable handling on rough terrain, while IsoSpeed technology helps absorb road chatter and vibrations for a smoother ride.
With clearance for up to 50 mm tyres, it offers confident grip and control across varied surfaces. The SRAM Rival AXS E1 wireless 13-speed groupset delivers precise, cable-free shifting, and a full suite of frame and fork mounts gives you plenty of room for gear and accessories. Ideal for everything from fast gravel rides to multi-day bikepacking trips.

About Trek
The best bike, ridden everywhere.
Founded in a Wisconsin barn in 1976, Trek has grown into one of the world's most recognised bicycle brands without losing the obsession that started it all: build the best bike, ride it further, share it with everyone.
Trek believes the bicycle is a simple solution to many of the world's most complicated problems. Every bike Trek builds — from the Madone race weapon to the Marlin trail bike — is made with that conviction. More riders, more often, on better bikes.
