2025 Trek Checkpoint SL 5 AXS Gen 3

If your ideal ride doesn't end when the pavement does, the Checkpoint SL 5 AXS is ready to take you further. This is your adventure machine—crafted from lightweight OCLV Carbon, tuned for comfort, and built to explore the unbeaten path.

Whether you're setting off on a multi-day bikepacking trip, chasing gravel horizons, or just want a smoother ride on your everyday routes, this bike is your trusted companion.

Smooth, Fast, and Seriously Capable
Its refined gravel geometry delivers a stable, confidence-inspiring ride—whether you're cruising over washboard gravel, tackling steep fire roads, or descending loose terrain. Paired with IsoSpeed technology, the frame absorbs harsh vibrations so your body doesn’t have to, letting you ride longer, farther, and more comfortably.

Tons of Tire Clearance & Mounts for Everything
Run up to 50 mm tires (actual measured clearance) for added grip and cushion on chunky gravel or light trails. Multiple mounts on the frame and fork let you gear up for anything—bags, bottles, racks, you name it—so you're always prepared, whether you're commuting, adventuring, or bikepacking into the unknown.

Go Wireless. Ride Clean. Shift Instantly.
Equipped with the smooth and responsive SRAM Apex XPLR AXS 12-speed electronic drivetrain, the Checkpoint SL 5 AXS gives you effortless, cable-free shifting and a wide gear range to tackle steep climbs or fly across flats. It's reliable, low-maintenance, and just plain fun to use.

This is more than a gravel bike. It's your ticket to adventure.
From sunrise rides on remote dirt roads to after-work spins on the edge of town, the Checkpoint SL 5 AXS is built for riders who crave freedom, exploration, and the thrill of what’s just around the next bend.
