Gravel bike Trek Checkpoint SL 7 AXS 3rd Gen Dark Red/Carbon Red Smoke Splatter 2026

Designed for cyclists who refuse to choose between speed and comfort, the Trek Checkpoint SL 7 AXS Gen 3 features Gravel Endurance geometry for long cycling adventures. The 500 Series OCLV Carbon frame incorporates the IsoSpeed system at the rear to absorb vibrations on rough roads while retaining excellent responsiveness. This 3rd generation adds even more versatility, with wider tyre clearance (up to 50 mm), numerous attachment points (racks, mudguards, frame bags, triple luggage rack on the fork) and a storage compartment in the down tube.

Ready for adventure, whether for gravel racing or bikepacking trips, this Trek Checkpoint SL 7 is fitted with a SRAM Force XPLR AXS groupset, featuring ultra-reliable, smooth wireless electronic transmission and high-performance disc brakes. Also equipped with Bontrager Aeolus Elite 35V carbon wheels and Bontrager Girona Pro 42 mm tyres, this bike offers excellent weight/performance ratio. The stylish Dark Red/Carbon Red Smoke Splatter design adds a premium, modern touch.
