Checkpoint SL 5 Mercury/Carbon Smoke

Season:2023

Brand:Trek

Code:5260800-MCS

Light, fast, comfortable. Checkpoint SL 5 gives you the unmatched ride quality of an OCLV Carbon frame with IsoSpeed and gravel-specific geometry, plus internal storage and a drivetrain built for rough terrain.

A 500 Series OCLV Carbon frame with damped Rear IsoSpeed and carbon armor, the SL 5 features a progressive geometry that's stable at speed and efficient when you're grinding up a climb, internal storage, hidden cables that won't interfere with bags, integrated frame bag mounts, and rack and fender mounts. Plus, a carbon fork, a 2x11 Shimano GRX drivetrain with lower gears for grinding up hills or through rough gravel, and wide 700x40c gravel tires for added stability and traction. You can even run a dropper post to get low on long descents.

Why you'll love it:

The damped, controlled rebound of the IsoSpeed decoupler soaks up fatiguing bumps without bouncing you around.
All-new progressive geometry is quick and nimble yet keeps you stable and in control on fast, choppy descents.
A sleek internal storage compartment gives you a versatile spot to stow tools and gear.
Massive tire clearance means you can use tires up to 45c for extra traction and stability in any conditions.
Integrated frame bag mounts and rack and fender mounts make it easy to carry gear and water.
