Trek Checkpoint SL 6 - Lichen Green: The Ultimate Gravel Riding Companion
Introducing the Checkpoint SL 6 AXS in vibrant Lichen Green, a sophisticated carbon gravel bike crafted to expand your exploration boundaries far beyond the capabilities of any standard road bike. With its lightweight OCLV Carbon frame incorporating the gravel-taming IsoSpeed technology, and the precise, latency-free SRAM Rival XPLR AXS wireless electronic drivetrain, this bike stands as a monument to gravel engineering. It boasts agile, yet stable, progressive geometry, extensive internal storage, and comprehensive mounts for bikepacking, heralding a new era for riders embarking on gravel, dirt, or all-road adventures.
Designed For: Adventurers with grand gravel aspirations, in need of a supremely capable bike that can endure epic journeys. The Checkpoint SL 6 is the epitome of performance, offering the unparalleled speed, accuracy, and sleek aesthetics of the latest SRAM wireless drivetrain technology.
Technological Excellence:
- Crafted with a 500 Series OCLV Carbon frame featuring the IsoSpeed damped rear decoupler and protective carbon armour.
- Engineered with progressive geometry for stability at high speeds and efficient climbing, coupled with internal storage for essential gear.
- Hidden cable routing enhances compatibility with bags, complemented by integrated frame bag mounts, and versatile rack and mudguard options.
- Equipped with a carbon fork, a 1x12 SRAM Rival XPLR AXS wireless electronic drivetrain for wide-ranging capabilities, and Paradigm Comp 25 wheels suitable for the toughest terrains.
- Compatible with dropper posts for dynamic riding on descents and accommodating up to 45c tires for unparalleled traction and stability.
The Verdict: A masterclass in gravel biking design, the Checkpoint SL 6 is built to conquer the most challenging days, the roughest roads, and the grandest adventures. Light, swift, and comfortable, it comes provisioned with high-end components that maintain peak performance in even the most demanding conditions.
Why It Stands Out:
- Experience the cost-effective performance of the SRAM Rival XPLR AXS wireless drivetrain, with customizable shift patterns via the AXS app.
- The IsoSpeed decoupler absorbs shocks effectively, ensuring a smooth ride without compromising stability.
- Enjoy the freedom to navigate any terrain with massive tyre clearance accommodating up to 45c tyres.
- Utilize the sleek internal storage for easy access to tools and equipment on the go.
- Embrace the adventure with ample fork, frame, and rack mounts, ensuring you're fully equipped for day-long escapades or extensive bikepacking voyages.
