Trek Checkpoint SL 7 AXS Gen 3 2026 - Gravel Bike
The Trek Checkpoint SL 7 AXS Gen 3 is a premium gravel bike that delivers speed, versatility, and day-long comfort in one expertly engineered package. At its heart is Trek’s 500 Series OCLV Carbon frame, paired with IsoSpeed decoupler tech at the rear to soak up trail chatter and surface vibration, ideal when your rides stretch into the wild beyond.

- 500 Series OCLV Carbon frame with IsoSpeed, Endurance geo & 50 mm tyre clearance
- Carbon fork with rack and cage mounts, internal cable routing
- SRAM Force XPLR AXS 13-speed wireless electronic drivetrain
- SRAM Force hydraulic disc brakes with flat mount callipers
- Bontrager Aeolus Elite 35V carbon wheels, 35 mm depth

Designed around Trek’s Gravel Endurance geometry, the bike strikes a relaxed yet responsive riding position that’s efficient on tarmac and stable on looser, unpredictable terrain. Generous tyre clearance for up to 50 mm (measured) gives you freedom to run wider rubber for better grip and comfort.
The bike is kitted out with SRAM’s Force XPLR AXS groupset—a fully wireless, 13-speed drivetrain purpose-built for gravel riding. Shifts are clean, consistent, and delivered without cables. The wide-range 10-46T cassette offers low climbing gears without compromising top-end speed, and the Force hydraulic disc brakes give you confident stopping in any weather.
You also get a set of Bontrager Aeolus Elite 35V carbon wheels—light, strong, and tubeless-ready for reduced pressure and puncture resistance. These come wrapped in Bontrager Girona Pro 700x42 mm tyres with Gravel Ready tread and GR puncture protection. They're ideal for mixed terrain and long-distance comfort.
For adventure seekers, this bike is ready to haul. It includes internal downtube storage, mudguard and rack mounts, fork leg mounts, and an integrated chain keeper. Every detail has been considered for multi-day bikepacking missions and exploratory loops.
