Designed for gravel. Ready for anything.
Our Checkpoint SL carbon gravel bike boasts a comfortable geometry, ultra-capable tyre clearance, and plenty of gear storage to take you off the beaten track for solo sightseeing excursions, epic all-day adventures, spontaneous overnighters and everything in-between.
The Checkpoint SL 7 AXS Gen 3 is a carbon gravel bike built to explore the beyond. Its lightweight carbon frame is designed with a Gravel Endurance geometry, tons of mounts and clearance for up to 50 mm tyres (as measured). Plus, IsoSpeed comfort tech helps soak up jarring vibrations so you can float over chatter and potholes. It's decked out with upgrades where you want them most, like carbon wheels and seat post, and a wireless SRAM Force AXS XPLR E1 drivetrain.
IsoSpeed comfort tech
IsoSpeed comfort tech smooths pot holes and fatiguing bumps in the road so you can ride stronger for longer.
New Gravel Endurance geometry
A new confident and comfortable Gravel Endurance geometry puts you in a more relaxed upright riding position so you can stay comfortable on even your most epic adventures.
Big ’ol tyre clearance
Roll over the rough stuff with room to fit gravel tyres up to 50 mm wide (as measured).
Bigger in-frame storage
More internal frame storage and a bigger storage door lets you fit all your flat tools inside your bike so you're always ready for whatever the gravel road throws at you.
Mounts galore
The new Checkpoint SL is equipped to carry everything you need with mounts on the frame and fork for front and rear racks, mudguards and Adventure Top Tube, Frame and Triangle Bags. Plus, the new frame has been optimised to fit extra hydration in addition to all your bags.
Suspension fork and dropper post compatible
The Checkpoint SL is now compatible with dropper posts and suspension forks with up to 40 mm of travel so you can send it on chunkier gravel and steeper descents.
