How does the Checkpoint platform translate into aluminium?
Well mannered on tamer terrain
Lots of eyelets
Eschews integration
Clean dropper post actuation
Expensive
Not the most exciting ride
Harsh through the front end when unloaded

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

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

Is the 2022 Trek Checkpoint SLR 7 a pure gravel racer or does it fare just as well on high-speed bikepacking trips? We put it to the test to find out.
Cleverly integrated storage compartment
Lots of attention to detail
Great for hardpack
Fully customisable paint job via the Project One Configurator
Very efficient and light-footed
Overly harsh up front compared to the well-damped rear end

Updated geometry and differentiated models for speed, adventure, and all purpose riding
