The 2024 Trek Checkpoint SL 5 is a carbon gravel bike made for epic adventures. It's built with lightweight OCLV Carbon and terrain-smoothing damped IsoSpeed. It's capable of crushing the longest, roughest rides and the most ambitious bikepacking trips.

The Checkpoint SL is built around a 500 Series OCLV Carbon fibre frame with damped rear IsoSpeed. The Isospeed decoupler allows a small amount of controlled movement in the frame to soak up bumps and let you stay in the saddle, and on the power, for longer. The Checkpoint has progressive geometry that's stable at speed and efficient when you're grinding up a climb. It also comes with internal frame storage, hidden cables that won't interfere with bags and integrated frame, fork, rack and mudguard mounts.

The Checkpoint SL 5 comes with a 2x12 Shimano GRX drivetrain. GRX is specifically designed for gravel use and comes with lower gears for grinding up hills or through rough gravel. Tubeless ready Paradigm SL wheels and the ability to run a dropper post make it easy to upgrade and customise your bike.
