Our team can dial in your contact points — saddle height, reach, and cleat alignment if you're running clipless pedals — and set tyre pressure appropriate for the mix of pavement and gravel you're riding, whether that's the KVR or the Rail Trail. We can also help fit racks, fenders, or frame bags using the integrated mounts if you're setting this bike up for bikepacking or commuting. Drop into Fresh Air Pandosy (555 Groves Ave) or Fresh Air Dilworth (1656 Dilworth Drive), or book an appointment online.

IN STORE PICKUP OR LOCAL DELIVERY ONLY
Mixed-surface touring out of Kelowna — pavement one minute, packed gravel along the KVR or Okanagan Rail Trail the next — is exactly what the Checkpoint ALR 5 Gen 3 is built for. This aluminum gravel bike pairs Trek's updated endurance geometry with a full carbon fork for road-smoothing comfort, room for tyres up to 50mm, and a 12-speed SRAM Apex XPLR drivetrain with hydraulic disc brakes for confident performance across long grinds and steep climbs alike.

THE TECH YOU GET |
This bike suits a rider who wants a genuine upgrade in shifting performance and gear range for tackling mixed-surface routes like the KVR or Okanagan Rail Trail, or longer, hillier gravel grinds, without stepping up to a carbon frame. They'll appreciate the comfort of the endurance geometry and carbon fork, the durability and wide range of 12-speed SRAM Apex XPLR shifting, and the extensive mounting points for bikepacking bags or a commuter rack. Our team at Fresh Air will help you find the right fit in-store at both Kelowna locations. Stop by to work with one of our experienced staff members, or call 250-763-3425. |
