Trek Checkpoint+ SL 6 AXS — 2027 E-Gravel Bike

Frame: 500 Series OCLV Carbon with IsoSpeed decoupler, tapered head tube, internal routing, fender mounts, UDH derailleur hanger, and a full carbon fork with triple rack mounts

Motor: TQ HPR60 mid-drive, 60Nm peak torque, 300W continuous / 350W peak power

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: SRAM GX Eagle AXS T-Type, fully wireless, 12-speed, 1x with a 44T max chainring, SRAM Rival AXS 13-speed shifter

Standout feature: TQ LED top-tube display with Bluetooth and ANT+ connectivity, plus SRAM's T-Type Eagle drivetrain for durable, precise shifting on rough terrain

This bike is for the gravel rider who wants both range and performance — someone tackling long KVR or Rail Trail days, entering gravel events, or riding hillier valley routes where a smooth motor boost and a wireless AXS drivetrain make a real difference. It suits a rider who's ready to upgrade to SRAM's T-Type Eagle shifting for its durability on rough terrain, and who wants the TQ motor's natural pedal feel rather than a bulkier, more aggressive e-bike system.

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 the TQ system on the Checkpoint+ SL 6 AXS, from reading the LED display to pairing it over Bluetooth for ride and battery data. We'll also help you set up the SRAM GX Eagle AXS shifting to your preference, dial in your saddle height and reach, and get your Bontrager tyres set up tubeless for local gravel and rail trail riding. We offer ongoing e-bike servicing, firmware updates for the TQ drive system, and expert year-round advice to keep everything running smoothly.

Q1: What size Trek Checkpoint+ SL 6 AXS do I need?
The Checkpoint+ SL 6 AXS 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 6 AXS right for riding the KVR or Okanagan Rail Trail?
Yes — with the TQ HPR60 motor's assist and roughly 80 km (50 mi) of range, this bike is well suited to long days out on the KVR or Okanagan Rail Trail, letting you cover more ground 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 6 AXS's 360Wh battery at roughly 80 km (50 mi) of range under moderate use. Actual range depends on assist level, terrain, rider and cargo weight, and riding style — more climbing or higher assist levels will bring that number down.
