- SRAM Force XPLR AXS E1 13-speed wireless drivetrain
- SRAM Force hydraulic disc brakes for precise stopping

The 800 Series OCLV Carbon frame is the heart of the Checkmate SLR 7 AXS, designed to balance stiffness, aerodynamics and compliance. Trek’s IsoSpeed system adds comfort without sacrificing efficiency, allowing you to stay fresher over longer rides. Its Gravel Race geometry keeps the bike quick and aggressive while offering extra stability for rougher terrain.
Up front, the Checkmate full carbon fork and integrated cable routing complete a sleek, aerodynamic profile, while hidden mudguard and bag mounts add practical versatility for training or long-distance events.
Shifting is handled by the SRAM Force XPLR AXS 13-speed drivetrain, offering smooth, wireless gear changes with a wide cassette range to tackle steep climbs and fast descents. The inclusion of an AXS Power Meter crankset gives performance-focused riders accurate data to track and improve their efforts.
For braking, the SRAM Force hydraulic disc system provides powerful and predictable control in all weather. The bike rolls on Bontrager Aeolus Pro 3V OCLV Carbon wheels, paired with Bontrager Girona RSL 700x42mm tubeless tyres for fast rolling and reliable grip across mixed surfaces.
Finished with a Trek Aero RSL integrated bar/stem and Bontrager Aeolus Pro saddle, the Checkmate SLR 7 AXS is a premium build that’s race-ready but versatile enough to explore beyond the tarmac.
