Details
Checkpoint SLR 7 is a carbon gravel bike that's built for crushing the world's greatest gravel races.
If you have big dreams for the likes of The Mid South, Belgian Waffle Rides, and Unbound Gravel, and know you'll need the most dialed gravel bike for these epic adventures. You want our most advanced Checkpoint frame, one that's made specifically for gravel racing.
The lightweight 700 Series OCLV Carbon frame has gravel-smoothing rear IsoSpeed to smooth out bumps in the road and reduce fatigue. Integrated mounts let you cleanly bolt on a bags to carry gear and water for all day adventures. The integrated BITS storage lets you stow your tools and gear (or your favourite mid-ride snacks) in the downtube. You can even run a dropper post to get low on long descents.
The 2x11 speed Shimano GRX 800 series drivetrain shifts smoothly even in the gnarliest gravel. Extra mounts allows you to carry lots of extra gear and accessories. This bike a true gravel-grinding powerhouse.
Bontrager Aeolus Pro 3V OCLV carbon wheels with wide 700x40c gravel tires is the ultimate upgrade providing extra traction and stability when run tubeless.
All Checkpoint SL and SLR come set up with tubeless 700x40c tires. Valves, sealant, and rim strip included.
Due to supply-chain issues, Specs are subject to change without notice.
SHIMANO GRX, with its gravel specific ergonomics, optimized gearing options, rugged reliability, and quiet and stable drivetrain, sets itself apart from the rest of the component world. It isn’t a reworked set of road components. It represents a ground up look at how cyclists want to explore their world. SHIMANO GRX helps you eliminate excuses, instead urging you to try that rough sidetrack or ride that little bit longer.
IsoSpeed works by absorbing bumps in the road and trail, so you can ride stronger and more comfortably without sacrificing the feel and efficiency of a traditional bike.
It challenges other vibration-damping tech by maintaining the same diamond-shape frame as traditional bikes but decoupling the seat tube from the frame. This allows the bike to respond and maneuver just like a standard race bike, while the decoupled seat tube enables enough vertical flex to elevate comfort for every rider.
This simplified and smart design soaks up vibration for a smooth ride without bogging you down with energy-gobbling suspension.
Aeolus Pro 3V is the ultimate road disc upgrade. It has a wider 25mm internal rim so you can run lower pressure for better tire support, added traction, better cornering, and a faster, more comfortable ride.
Plus, Rapid Drive 108 road hubs add snappy engagement for an all-around better ride.
These Tubeless Ready (TLR) rims allow for quick transition to tubeless system.
OCLV Pro Carbon offers an optimized blend of weight, strength, and durability.
All Trek Checkpoint SL and SLR models come tubeless out of the box. Sealant, valves, and rim stips included.
Ditching the tubes and going tubeless will help you get the most performance out of your tires. There are no tubes to pinch, so you can run lower pressures for better traction, and you get more control and a smoother, faster ride. As an added bonus, a tubeless setup can help seal punctures before they become flats.
