THE NEW TREK CHECKPOINT + CHECKMATE
The world of gravel riding just got more interesting with the arrival of Trek’s latest marvels: Checkpoint and Checkmate. These bikes are not just machines; they’re statements, designed to tackle the wild terrain with style and precision.Are you ready to race or ready to roam?
CHECKPOINT SL GEN 3
THE ADVENTURER'S COMPANION
For those who measure rides in days rather than hours, the Checkpoint SL Gen 3 is your gravel nirvana. This isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a reimagining. The 500 Series OCLV Carbon frame is lighter and snappier, designed for the long haul with storage solutions that turn your bike into a self-contained expedition. The new Gravel Endurance Geometry ensures you remain comfortable and confident as the miles pile up, whether you’re rolling through chunky gravel or gliding over smoother stretches.
With clearance for up to 50mm tires, dropper post compatibility, and the option for a suspension fork, the Checkpoint SL is as versatile as your wanderlust demands. Plus, its new two-piece handlebars offer enhanced control, allowing you to navigate any terrain with ease.
CHECKMATE SLR
THE RACER'S EDGE
For the gravel racer, the Checkmate SLR is a revelation. This is Trek’s lightest and fastest gravel bike to date, designed to obliterate the competition. Built with 800 Series OCLV Carbon and featuring Full System Foil aero tube shapes, this bike slices through the air with the aggression of a predator. The Gravel Race Geometry pushes you into an efficient, attack-ready position—perfect for those whose heart rate spikes at the sound of a starting gun.
The one-piece bar/stem, borrowed from the iconic Madone Gen 8, offers a narrow, aero stance or a controlled, ergonomic grip when the terrain demands finesse. With room for up to 45mm tires, the Checkmate SLR is ready to take on the gnarliest of race courses. And because style matters, Trek’s Project One customization lets you tailor this steed to your exact preferences—right down to the earth-inspired hues of the ICON Raw Lithos scheme.
ARE YOU READY TO RACE OR READY TO ROAM?
Both the Checkmate and Checkpoint models come equipped with Trek’s IsoSpeed technology, ensuring that you can ride harder for longer without sacrificing comfort. And with compatibility for the new Adventure Bags, your gear is always within reach, tucked away in a wind-slicing profile that’s as functional as it is stylish.
The question now is simple: Are you ready to race or ready to roam? Either way, your ride just got a whole lot better.
