It's right for you if...
You want a carbon gravel bike for exploring the beyond, and want to save on parts you can upgrade over time. You want the gravel-smoothing benefits of IsoSpeed tech that soaks up chatter from below so you can ride stronger for longer and plenty of mounts to carry all your gear and hydration.

The tech you get
A 500 Series OCLV Carbon frame with a carbon fork, internal downtube storage, frame and fork mounts, and clearance for 50 mm tyres (as measured). A 12-speed 1x SRAM Apex XPLR AXS fully wireless drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes, carbon seat post, and Tubeless Ready Bontrager Paradigm SL wheels with 42 mm tyres.

The final word
When you're ready to load up and explore the road less travelled, reach for the Checkpoint SL 5 AXS Gen 3. This capable and comfortable gravel bike balances price and performance with a blend of components that deliver reliably and a frame that's packed with road-smoothing features.

How tall are you?
To measure your height, stand up straight, barefoot, with your back, heels, shoulders and head all touching a wall. While looking straight ahead, place a book or straight edge on your head and slowly push it against the wall. Your straight edge should be parallel with the floor. Mark the spot where the bottom of the book is touching the wall. The distance from the marked spot to the floor is your height.

What is your inside leg?
How to measure: Stand barefoot with your back straight and against a wall. Tuck a ruler or something that extends to the floor between your legs. Using both hands, and keeping it level, pull the ruler up into your crotch as if you were sitting on the saddle. Measure the distance from the top edge of the ruler to the ground to find your inside leg measurement. Your inside leg is very important to your final bike size so please measure carefully.
