The Checkpoint SL 5 AXS Gen 3 is an adventure-ready carbon gravel bike built to roll into the distant horizon. Its lightweight carbon frame is designed with comfort-focused geometry, room for beefy 50 mm tyres (as measured), and plenty of frame and fork mounts. Plus, IsoSpeed comfort technology helps soak up jarring road vibrations, so you can you float over chatter and potholes. It comes equipped with a wireless SRAM Apex XPLR AXS drivetrain to deliver plenty of gears for exploring the dusty road.
