The Trek Checkpoint+ SL 5 360Wh Electric Gravel Bike is engineered for riders who want to go further, faster, and more comfortably — without losing the spirit of gravel riding. Blending Trek’s premium OCLV Carbon frame with the seamless integration of the TQ HPR60 mid-drive motor, this bike is as much about performance as it is about adventure.
The TQ HPR60 motor delivers up to 300 watts of smooth, quiet assistance and 60 Nm of torque, giving you that extra boost on steep gravel climbs or when you’re loaded up for bikepacking. Paired with a 360Wh integrated battery, you’ll enjoy the confidence of extended range, while Trek’s range-extending 160Wh plug-in battery (optional) opens the door for truly epic days on the road less travelled.
Built for endurance, the Checkpoint+ SL 5 features Trek’s progressive gravel geometry — stable when the terrain gets rough but still responsive enough for fast, spirited rides. The wide tyre clearance means you can run up to 45mm tyres for added comfort and traction, or lighter slicks for speed-focused rides. Mounts for racks, bags, and accessories make it a serious contender for bikepacking expeditions as well as long-distance gravel races.
Shifting is handled by Shimano’s GRX 600 12-speed drivetrain, purpose-built for gravel with a wide range of gears to tackle everything from long climbs to fast flats. Stopping power is reliable in all conditions thanks to Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, while durable alloy wheels roll smoothly over rough terrain, giving you confidence mile after mile.
The design is sleek and understated, with fully integrated cables and electronics that preserve the clean look of the carbon frame. You’ll barely notice it’s an e-bike — until you feel the effortless surge of power when you need it most.
Whether you’re chasing new horizons on weekend gravel adventures, commuting with a twist of speed, or gearing up for multi-day bikepacking tours, the Trek Checkpoint+ SL 5 is the perfect blend of technology, comfort, and versatility.
