Overview
It's right for you if...
You believe there's nothing better than a day spent exploring. You want to build up a single durable, ultra-versatile gravel bike that's ready for any off-road adventure, bikepacking tours, and all-around utility.
The tech you get
A sturdy 300 Series Alpha Aluminum frame with a progressive geometry that's stable at speed and efficient when you're grinding up a climb, routing for hidden cables that stay clear of your cargo and safe from the elements. Plus, rack-, fender-, and integrated frame bag-mounts, a carbon fork, and a cartridge-bearing headset.
The final word
Build your gravel bike exactly the way you want. Checkpoint ALR Frameset gives you a solid head start on your dream build with a lightweight frame, carbon fork, and gravel-specific details like extra mounts for endless customization options.
Why you'll love it
- Its progressive geometry is quick and nimble yet keeps you stable and in control on fast, choppy descents
- 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
- Internal cable routing to keep things smooth, quiet, and clean
"An excellent gravel race bike"
"Trek's new Checkpoint SLR 9 eTap is an excellent gravel race bike, built with features and geometry that calm rough surfaces without the handling feeling vague or sluggish. After two months on it, I can say that the bike we named the 2021 VeloNews Bike of the Year has only gotten better."

"What Trek gets right with the Checkpoint is the handling, the comfort, the storage options, and the flexibility to alter the cockpit or the drivetrain. The attention to detail...is welcome and warranted for a top-end machine."
