Trek Checkpoint SL 6 AXS Gen 3 2026 - Gravel Bike
The Trek Checkpoint SL 6 AXS Gen 3 is made for riders who like to explore further. From local bridleways to remote gravel routes, it offers the perfect blend of comfort, capability, and cutting-edge tech. At its core is a lightweight 500 Series OCLV Carbon frame, shaped with Trek’s Gravel Endurance geometry to give you a stable yet agile ride feel, ideal for long days and rougher terrain.
Key Features:
- 500 Series OCLV Carbon frame with IsoSpeed, Endurance geometry, and 50 mm tyre clearance
- Full carbon fork with internal cable routing and multiple mount points
- SRAM Rival XPLR AXS 13-speed wireless electronic drivetrain
- SRAM Rival hydraulic disc brakes for reliable stopping power
- Bontrager Paradigm Comp 25 alloy wheels, Tubeless Ready
- Bontrager Girona Pro 700x42 mm gravel tyres with GR tread
- Internal downtube storage and extensive frame & fork mounts
- Available with 0% APR finance
Trek’s IsoSpeed decoupler at the seat tube helps reduce fatigue by absorbing road buzz and trail chatter. Add to that clearance for up to 50 mm tyres (measured), and you’ve got a ride that floats over rough gravel and eats up miles with ease.
The drivetrain is fully wireless thanks to SRAM Rival XPLR AXS, a 1x13 setup that offers a wide range for tackling climbs, with clean, cable-free shifting. The matching SRAM Rival hydraulic disc brakes give you consistent control in any weather, from loose gravel descents to wet winter roads.
The Bontrager Paradigm Comp 25 wheels are tubeless-ready, pairing well with the Bontrager Girona Pro 700x42 mm tyres, which come with a gravel-specific tread and puncture protection for added peace of mind. A carbon seat post and a Verse Short saddle complete a comfort-focused build.
With practical features like internal downtube storage, mudguard mounts, rack and bag mounts on both frame and fork, and an integrated chain keeper, this bike is ready for everything from bikepacking to daily gravel loops.
