The Trek Domane+ has been a feature of the company’s line for a few years, but the launch of the new Checkpoint+, marks the company’s first-ever dedicated electric gravel bike.
The all-new Checkpoint+ SL combines everything riders love about the original Checkpoint with a quiet, light, and natural-feeling TQ HPR60 motor that gives them the boost they need to explore even more.
Whisper-quiet TQ HRP60 Motor
“A new TQ HPR60 motor is even lighter and quieter than the last model, with a discreet assist up to 28mph that provides the perfect boost to conquer hills and headwinds.”
Range to take the Scenic Route
“A 360Wh battery, up to 50 miles of range*, and the option to add a Range Extender for even more miles lets more riders take the long way home.” *In eco mode. Actual range varies by rider, route, and terrain.
Ultimate Gravel Capability
“Checkpoint+ SL was built to roll over the rough with 50mm tire clearance and suspension fork (on all sizes except XS) and dropper post compatibility.”
Epic All-Day Comfort
“IsoSpeed tech smooths rough gravel roads, a 500 Series OCLV Carbon frame keeps things light, and Gravel Endurance geometry puts riders in a more comfortable all-day riding position.”
Mounts to Haul It All
“Riders can easily add an Adventure Triangle Bag, Adventure Frame Bag, and rack for bikepacking adventures and daily commutes.”
Extra Squish on the Front or Fully Rigid
“Riders who want to get rowdy or enjoy a little extra comfort can opt for Checkpoint+ SL 7 AXS, which comes with a 40mm RockShox Rudy suspension fork. Riders who prefer lightweight rigid efficiency can choose the rigid fork of Checkpoint+ SL 5 or 6 AXS.”
