The Trek Checkpoint+ SL 7 AXS redefines what an electric gravel bike can do, blending cutting-edge technology with Trek’s proven endurance-focused gravel design. Whether you’re chasing fast-paced adventures, tackling long-distance gravel races, or exploring rugged backroads, this bike delivers comfort, control, and speed with every pedal stroke.
At its heart is the TQ HPR60 motor — lightweight, whisper-quiet, and packing 60 Nm of torque with up to 300W of assist. The 360Wh integrated battery keeps you powered through epic rides, while the option of a 160Wh range extender opens the door to ultra-distance adventures. Power delivery is smooth and natural, so you feel stronger without losing that authentic connection to the ride.
Where the Checkpoint+ SL 7 AXS truly sets itself apart is in its RockShox Rudy XPLR 40mm suspension fork, designed specifically for gravel. It absorbs rough roads, washboard tracks, and trail chatter, keeping you in control while reducing fatigue over long hours in the saddle. Paired with Trek’s OCLV Carbon frame and endurance gravel geometry, you get confident handling on unpredictable terrain without sacrificing efficiency on smoother roads.
The bike rolls on Bontrager Aeolus Elite 35V carbon wheels, lightweight and responsive, engineered to withstand the demands of gravel riding. Wide tyre clearance (up to 45mm) lets you run big, grippy tyres for comfort and traction. Add in a carbon seatpost for further vibration damping, and you’ve got a setup designed for long-haul comfort without compromise.
Shifting is wireless, precise, and ultra-smooth thanks to the SRAM Force AXS E1 12-speed drivetrain, offering a wide range of gearing for steep climbs, fast flats, and everything in between. Powerful hydraulic disc brakes ensure confident stopping power in all conditions.
With fully integrated electronics and cables, sleek looks, and mounts for racks and bikepacking gear, the Checkpoint+ SL 7 AXS is as versatile as it is capable. It’s the ultimate partner for gravel explorers who want the best of everything: power, comfort, cutting-edge tech, and adventure-ready durability.
