It has numerous mounting options for equipment, shifts smoothly and crisply thanks to the high-quality drivetrain and rolls on lightweight carbon wheels.
- The Checkpoint's Gravel Endurance geometry with a shorter reach and slightly more upright riding position provides more comfort on all-day gravel adventures, easy single trails and extended bikepacking tours.
- The vibration-absorbing IsoSpeed comfort technology softens bumpy surfaces to keep you fresher for longer.
- You get upgrades that make a difference - like Bontrager Aeolus Elite 35V carbon wheels and the wireless, electronic SRAM Force AXS D2 1x12 drivetrain.
- Thanks to 50 mm tire clearance (as measured), you can ride wider tires for extra traction and comfort on bumpy trails and short singletrack.
- With the large frame storage compartment and the numerous mounting options on the frame and fork for hydration systems, front and rear racks, mudguards and the Adventure Bags perfectly tailored to the Checkpoint, there's nothing this bike can't carry.
