Trek Checkpoint ALR 5 105 Gravel Bike 2020 British Racing Green
The 2020 Trek Checkpoint ALR 5 is the best value gravel bike in the line-up. It's a high-quality build that will that hold up for long, rugged miles on the road, dirt and even the most treacherous gravel tracks. But what sets this model apart is the performance parts and the wealth of features like adjustable Stranglehold dropouts, massive tyre clearance and extra mounts that make it easy to customise for your kind of adventure. Geometry for the Checkpoint is comfortable for the long haul and rough roads, but aggressive enough to provide the speed and ride-feel gravel riders are looking for. With a slightly taller stack and lower bottom bracket when compared to a CX bike, the Trek Checkpoint delivers improved stability while maintaining fast and manoeuverable characteristics. Control Freak internal cable routing allows for easy conversion to 1x or electronic shifting and keeps everything protected from the inevitable mud-and-dirt. Stranglehold dropouts allow the rider to adjust the bike's geometry and gearing based on the requirements of the ride ahead. The longest setting makes the bike more stable for longer rides and bikepacking. The dropouts also allow for quick & easy conversion to singlespeed. Stock 35mm tyres hit the sweet-spot for a wide range of terrain, but the Checkpoint can accept up to 45mm, allowing you to tackle rut-ridden roads with confidence. Alternatively a move down to 28mm slicks transforms the ride to a firm, fast-rolling ride for gravel to tarmac routes. The Trek Checkpoint is covered in mounts, on the seat-tube and down-tube allow riders to fit three bottles in the main triangle, or position two bottles low while leaving room for a frame bag. There's also room for one more bottle under the down-tube. Lowrider fork mounts will take a rack & bags. Rear rack mounts give more room for cargo, and hidden fender mounts keep the ride clean in even the worst weather.
