Gravel bikes abound, but this one checks all the boxes, and at a great price.
Jun 2020 · Laura Weislo
On early impressions, Trek's flagship gravel bike, the Checkpoint SL7, looks perfect for seekers of versatility and adventure
Lightweight, agile and responsive ride
IsoSpeed shock adds comfort
Underbody protection for the eye-popping paint job
SRAM Force eTap AXS 1X drive not suited to mixed road/gravel
Top tube is too wide near the seat tube
Toe overlap in the smallest size
Mar 2020 · Dale Tiessen
Out of the saddle putting down maximum power into the Checkpoint, it feels like a nice carbon road bike.
May 2019 · Robin Wilmott
Although not the most rugged explorer, the Checkpoint SL6 will go almost anywhere, quickly and in comfort
Fully-featured, practical frameset, IsoSpeed, carbon wheelset
I’d prefer to have 40mm tyres supplied
Nov 2018 · Joe Cruz
Joe tested the Trek Checkpoint SL6 on weekly fast roadie coffee shop rides, a 10-hr dirt randonee, and VT gravel/singletrack explorations. Here's the review
Feels like a road race bike
IsoSpeed coupler absolutely smooths out jolts
Thoughtful design touches, including a variety of bosses for cages, armor under the downtube, bosses for a gas tank bag
Very capable on tarmac alongside its gravel prowess
Feels like a road race bike
650b conversion not recommended
Unusual routing can cause cable contact with knees depending on out of the saddle pedaling style; might also interfere with feed bags
Long inseam riders may reach the end of the saddle height adjustment
Purpose built for speed rather than maximal bikepacking versatility
Aug 2018
The new Trek Checkpoint gravel bike covers all the bases off road and on, making it a versatile, adjustable option that could replace several of your bikes.

Better late than never, Trek’s Checkpoint has arrived

Sadly disappointing gravel bike debut from Trek, though fine if you want a fat-tyred road bike
