trek checkpoint slr review 2021

“Trek introduced an expansive all-new Checkpoint line-up, ensuring that there’s an incredible adventure gravel bike for everyone from dedicated racers to weekend warriors.” – Trek Bikes

“Thoughtfully built for better off-road excursions, all-new Checkpoint is now available in three model levels: SLR, SL and ALR. Though every model level’s features are tailored to a different type of rider, each Checkpoint is built with room for 45c tyres and an all-new progressive geometry that’s quick and nimble yet keeps riders stable and in control on fast, choppy descents.”

Checkpoint SLR – Made to Race

“Checkpoint SLR is Trek’s lightest, fastest gravel bike ever. It features a 700 Series OCLV Carbon frame with Émonda-inspired aero tube shapes, internal tool storage, terrain-smoothing Top Tube IsoSpeed and the perfect number of gear mounts for riders who primarily plan to race.”

Checkpoint SL – Made to Roam

“Checkpoint SL is built for serious adventure. It has a 500 Series OCLV Carbon frame, internal tool storage, terrain-smoothing Seat Tube IsoSpeed and features loads of mounts for hauling bikepacking gear and supplies. It’s also compatible with a dropper post for riders who love bombing singletrack.”

Checkpoint ALR – Made To Do It All

“Checkpoint ALR is the utility-focused bike in the line-up. It has a sturdy 300 Series Alpha Aluminium frame with tons of mounts for mudguards, bags, bottles, and front and rear racks. It’s more than capable of adventure riding, daily commutes, and even a race or two.”

    That SLR looks pretty racy, especially with the slammed 120mm stem.
