Trek’s Checkpoint has unique progressive geometry and scissor frame features and all the mount points you could want. But is it a multi-surface, multi-mission master or a complicated compromise?
IsoPulse Decoupler is a significant ride smoother
Well balanced road or rough handling
Efficient speed on all surfaces
SL 6 model is a real performance for price sweet spot
Saddle is a bit squishy on longer rides
Many mounts mean slightly more mass
Controls go through the headset
Non removable front mech tab
Rough rear hub

A comfortable all-purpose weapon, and a premium price –which boxes can the Trek Checkpoint SLR 9 eTap tick? We putit through the wringer to find out!
IsoSpeed system is inconspicuous and functional, providing added comfort at the rear
Versatile
Storage compartment in the down tube
Round, less ergonomic handlebars
Bontrager GR1 Team Issue TR tires lack grip in damp conditions and tend to bounce
Unbalanced level of compliance between the front and rear

The Trek Checkpoint is the only bike you need to take you on every adventure
SRAM Rival AXS is the perfect groupset for an all-arounder
Mud-guard mounts
Mounting points for every bag you can think of
Non-proprietary seat-post provides options
Internal storage is convenient
Downtube protection eases worry
Threaded bottom bracket
Ideal all-around gearing
Short stem for added stability means handlebar/knee interference
Lacks included protection for the chain stay
Detail behind the fork steerer collects water and is difficult to clean

Trek’s versatile gravel bike offers progressive geometry, hidden storage, a racy but comfortable ride, and a sizeable price tag
Comfortable ride
Progressive geometry
Smart but unfussy mounts
Conventional bar and stem
Costs as much as a small car
No power meter
Heavier than much of the competition
May 2022 · Jack Luke
A highly versatile gravel bike that's comfortable and decent value too
Notably comfortable ride
Very versatile
Inelegant seat-clamp design
Occasionally rattly
