Add to cart

Its lightweight carbon frame is designed with comfort-focused geometry, room for beefy 50mm tires (as measured), and plenty of frame and fork mounts. Plus, IsoSpeed comfort technology helps soak up jarring road vibrations, helping you float over chatter and potholes. It comes equipped with a wireless 12-speed SRAM Apex XPLR AXS drivetrain to deliver plenty of gears for exploring the dusty road.

It's right for you if...

You want a carbon gravel bike for exploring the beyond, and want to save on parts you can upgrade over time. You want the gravel-smoothing benefits of IsoSpeed tech that soaks up chatter from below so can ride stronger longer, and plenty of mounts to carry all your gear and hydration.

The tech you get

A 500 Series OCLV Carbon frame with a carbon fork, internal downtube storage, frame and fork mounts, and clearance for 50mm tires (as measured). A 12-speed 1x SRAM Apex XPLR AXS fully wireless drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes, carbon seatpost, and Tubeless Ready Bontrager Paradigm SL wheels with 42mm tires.

The final word

When you're ready to load up and explore the road less traveled, reach for Checkpoint SL 5 AXS Gen 3. This capable and comfortable gravel bike balances price and performance with a blend of components that deliver reliably and a frame that's packed with road-smoothing features.
