"Trek Checkpoint SL Gen 3 Frame Set: Your Canvas for Adventure"
Sometimes, a stock build just doesn't cut it. Maybe you have a specific groupset you love, or you want to hand-pick every bearing and bolt. The Checkpoint SL Gen 3 Frame Set allows you to build the ultimate custom gravel rig from the ground up.
The Tech: The Foundation of Greatness
-
500 Series OCLV Carbon: The same high-quality carbon found on the SL 7, featuring IsoSpeed and massive tyre clearance.
-
Internal Storage: The frame includes the integrated downtube storage door and bag.
-
Carbon Fork: A tapered, full-carbon fork with triple rack mounts, designed to handle heavy loads without sacrificing steering precision.
Why It’s Different
-
Customization: You aren't tied to SRAM or Shimano; build it 1x, 2x, mechanical, or electronic.
-
Future-Proof: With UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) and T47 threaded bottom bracket, it’s compatible with the latest and future standards.
-
The Perfect Fit: When you start with a frame, you can choose the exact bar width, stem length, and saddle that works for your body.
Is It Right For You? The Frame Set is for:
-
The Bike Nerd: Who knows exactly what parts they want.
-
The Custom Builder: Who wants a unique look and spec.
-
The Upgrader: Who has a great parts kit but needs a modern, more capable frame.
