Product details

IN STORE PICKUP OR LOCAL DELIVERY ONLY

Checkpoint SL 5 AXS Gen 3 is an adventure-ready carbon gravel bike built to roll into the distant horizon. Its lightweight carbon frame is designed with comfort-focused geometry, room for beefy 50mm tires (as measured), and plenty of frame and fork mounts. Plus, IsoSpeed comfort technology helps soak up jarring road vibrations, helping you float over chatter and potholes. It comes equipped with a wireless 12-speed SRAM Apex XPLR AXS drivetrain to deliver plenty of gears for exploring the dusty road.

 

 

IT'S RIGHT FOR YOU IF

You're itching for adventure and want a bike that's up for taking the road less traveled. You want IsoSpeed comfort tech to help you stay comfortable on the hardest miles, an upgraded drivetrain that can hang tough when the gravel gets deep, and plenty of mounts to carry your gear and hydration.

THE TECH YOU GET

A 500 Series OCLV Carbon frame with a carbon fork, internal downtube storage, frame and fork mounts, and clearance for 50mm tires (as measured). A 12-speed 1x SRAM Apex XPLR AXS fully wireless drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes, carbon seatpost, and Tubeless Ready Bontrager Paradigm SL wheels with 42mm tires.

THE FINAL WORD

Checkpoint SL 5 AXS Gen 3 is made to explore, with the chatter-smoothing benefit of IsoSpeed, a lightweight carbon frame, and upgraded components where they matter most, like the SRAM Rival AXS wireless shifting.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT

Checkpoint's Gravel Endurance geometry lets you sit higher up and features a shorter reach to keep you comfortable on all-day gravel adventures, light singletrack, bikepacking trips, and more

Road-smoothing IsoSpeed comfort tech soaks up vibration from rough surfaces to keep you feeling fresher longer

A SRAM Apex XPLR AXS 12-speed drivetrain offers precise, fully wireless shifting that's made for the roughest roads

Clearance for 50mm tires (as measured) means you can add extra traction and cushion for rowdy gravel roads

You can haul it all with large internal frame storage and mounts galore on the frame and fork for hydration, front and rear racks, fenders, and Adventure Bags that were designed to perfectly fit Checkpoint
