TREK CHECKPOINT ALR5
The 2021 model Trek Checkpoint range has been launched with several standout models, but one in particular caught our attention.
Gravel may be booming at present but it’s not new – in fact cyclists have been riding gravel for well over 100 years. The colour scheme on this latest offering from Trek offers hints to the past, but the spec level and build of the bike gives a glimpse into the future of gravel.
Priced at $2,999, the Checkpoint ALR 5 is the best value gravel bike in the line-up. It’s a high-quality build featuring an alloy frame and bulletproof Shimano GRX groupset.
The bike features stranglehold adjustable dropouts, tyre clearance for up to 47c, tubeless ready rims and mounts that make it easy to customise for adventure.
