Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

Trek Checkpoint SL 6 Gravel Bike 2019 Matte Black

Season:2019

Brand:Trek

Code:5628-MBLK

The 2019 Trek Checkpoint SL 6 is a carbon gravel bike without limits. It's designed to take you to places you'd never reach on a standard road bike - like the mud-caked finish line of the world's greatest gravel races. A light-weight OCLV Carbon frame with gravel-smoothing IsoSpeed, a full Shimano Ultegra drivetrain and extra mounts for gear and accessories make the Checkpoint SL 6 a true gravel powerhouse and the best choice for serious all-road adventurers.

Geometry for the Checkpoint is comfortable for the long haul and rough roads, but aggressive enough to provide the speed and ride-feel gravel riders are looking for. With a slightly taller stack and lower bottom bracket when compared to a CX bike, the Trek Checkpoint delivers improved stability while maintaining fast and manoeuverable characteristics. Control Freak internal cable routing allows for easy conversion to 1x or electronic shifting and keeps everything protected from the inevitable mud-and-dirt. Complete with a carbon seatmast cap, Carbon Armour for additional protection against debris, and 12mm front and rear thru-axles.

Stranglehold dropouts allow the rider to adjust the bike's geometry and gearing based on the requirements of the ride ahead. The longest setting makes the bike more stable for longer rides and bikepacking. The dropouts also allow for quick & easy conversion to singlespeed. Stock 35mm tyres hit the sweet-spot for a wide range of terrain, but the Checkpoint can accept up to 45mm, allowing you to tackle rut-ridden roads with confidence. Alternatively a move down to 28mm slicks transforms the ride to a firm, fast-rolling ride for gravel to tarmac routes.

The Trek Checkpoint is covered in mounts, on the seat-tube and down-tube allow riders to fit three bottles in the main triangle, or position two bottles low while leaving room for a frame bag. There's also room for one more bottle under the down-tube. Lowrider fork mounts will take a rack & bags. Rear rack mounts give more room for cargo, and hidden fender mounts keep the ride clean in even the worst weather. The Trek Checkpoint SL also comes with a top-tube mount to easily attach an easy-to-each bag for ride essentials.

Trek Checkpoint SL 6 2019 Features

  • The IsoSpeed decoupler cuts down on fatiguing bumps in gravel so you can wander more, reach new places and stay stronger for longer
  • This bike is exceedingly versatile and suited to a wide variety of riding styles, including gravel rides, bikepacking and daily commutes
  • Extra mounts on the top tube, seat tube and both sides of the down tube make it easy to carry extra gear and water
  • Massive tyre clearance means you can use tyres up to 45c for extra traction and stability in any condition

2019 Checkpoint SL 6 Build Highlights

  • 500 Series OCLV Carbon frame with rear IsoSpeed Decoupler
  • Checkpoint Carbon Disc fork
  • Shimano Ultegra 11-speed (50/34t - 11-34t)
  • Bontrager Paradigm Comp Disc tubeless ready wheelset
  • Shimano Ultegra hydraulic disc brakes
  • Bontrager finishing kit

500-Series OCLV

500 Series OCLV acheives a superb balance of light-weight, strength, and stiffness that's perfectly suited to the sophisticated frame technologies that distinguish Trek frames.

IsoSpeed Decoupler

The core of Trek's endurance comfort technology is the IsoSpeed decoupler. IsoSpeed maintains the diamond-shaped frameset geometry but decouples the seat tube from the top tube, allowing the seat tube to flex with the forces of the road. The result is a ride that moves with the road while maintaining the feel and efficiency of the traditional race bike design. IsoSpeed diminishes the fatiguing impacts of the road, allowing the rider to remain fresher for longer.
