IN STORE PICKUP OR LOCAL DELIVERY ONLY
The mixed-surface miles out toward the KVR and along the Okanagan Rail Trail are exactly the kind of terrain the Checkmate SLR 9 was built to race. Trek's lightest gravel bike ever, it combines an aerodynamic 800 Series OCLV Carbon frame with IsoSpeed road-smoothing technology and Gravel Race geometry, so you stay fast and tucked out of the wind without giving up comfort over rough roads — all driven by SRAM's wireless RED XPLR AXS drivetrain.

WHO IS THIS FOR? |
This bike suits a competitive gravel racer who wants the lightest, most aerodynamic bike available for events that mix fast dirt roads with sections like the KVR corridor, where speed and comfort both matter over long distances. They'll appreciate the wireless RED XPLR AXS shifting, the wide 45mm tyre clearance for rougher terrain, and IsoSpeed compliance that keeps them fresh from mile 10 to 200. 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. |

HOW TO SET UP |
Our team can dial in your contact points — saddle height, reach, and cleat alignment — for the Checkmate's Race Fit position, set tyre pressure appropriate for the mix of gravel and pavement you're racing or riding, and pair your SRAM AXS app for shift customization and firmware updates. We can also help fit frame bags and Adventure Bags using the integrated mounts for longer race-day or bikepacking setups. Drop into Fresh Air Pandosy (555 Groves Ave) or Fresh Air Dilworth (1656 Dilworth Drive), or book an appointment online. |
