Battery: TQ 360Wh, integrated in the downtube

Range: Approximately 80 km (50 mi) on a single charge under moderate use, based on TQ/Trek's published figures for this drive system — actual range varies with terrain, assist level, and rider weight

Drivetrain: Shimano GRX RX820/RX822, 12-speed, 1x with a 44T max chainring, Praxis Alloy crank

Standout feature: TQ LED top-tube display with Bluetooth and ANT+ connectivity for ride and battery data

This bike is for the gravel rider who wants to extend their range without losing the feel of a traditional drop-bar bike — someone planning long KVR or Rail Trail days, hillier valley loops, or bikepacking trips where a bit of pedal assist means more distance and less fatigue. It suits a rider who's comfortable on a gravel bike already but wants the TQ motor's quiet, natural-feeling boost on climbs, and who'll appreciate the OCLV carbon frame and IsoSpeed tech keeping the ride smooth over a full day out.

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.

As a certified Trek dealer, our team can walk you through setup on the TQ system that powers the Checkpoint+ SL 5, including how to read the LED display and pair it via Bluetooth if you want ride data on your phone. We'll fit your contact points — saddle height, reach, and stem length — to your body and riding style, and set your Bontrager tyres up tubeless for the mixed surfaces you'll be riding. We also offer ongoing e-bike servicing, firmware updates for the TQ drive system, and expert advice year-round to keep everything running smoothly.

Q1: What size Trek Checkpoint+ SL 5 do I need?
The Checkpoint+ SL 5 is available in sizes XS through XL, with crank length and cockpit dimensions scaled per size. Sizing is generally based on rider height, but we always recommend an in-store fit check to dial in reach and stack. See the geometry chart link in the Geometry & Sizing section, or come into either Kelowna location and our team will help you find your size.

Q2: Is the Trek Checkpoint+ SL 5 right for riding the KVR or Okanagan Rail Trail?
Yes — with pedal-assist support from the TQ HPR60 motor and roughly 80 km (50 mi) of range, this bike is well suited to longer days out on the KVR or Okanagan Rail Trail, especially if you want to cover more distance or tackle the trestle grades with less fatigue.

Q3: How far can I ride on a single charge, and what factors affect range?
Trek's published figures put the Checkpoint+ SL 5's 360Wh battery at roughly 80 km (50 mi) of range under moderate use. Actual range depends on your assist level, terrain, rider and cargo weight, and riding style — more climbing or higher assist levels will bring that number down.
