Trek’s first-ever dedicated electric gravel bike combines everything riders love about the Checkpoint SL with a whisper-quiet TQ motor – an electric bike that looks, feels, and sounds like an acoustic one. Get all the details below:
Trek ups the adventure with the Checkpoint+ SL electric gravel bike
The all-new Checkpoint+ SL combines everything riders love about the original Checkpoint with a quiet, light, and natural-feeling TQ HPR60 motor that gives them the boost they need to explore even more.
Whisper-quiet TQ HRP60 motor
A new TQ HPR60 motor is even lighter and quieter than the last model, with a discreet assist up to 28mph that provides the perfect boost to conquer hills and headwinds.
Range to take the scenic route
A 360Wh battery, up to 50 miles of range*, and the option to add a Range Extender for even more miles lets more riders take the long way home.
*In eco mode. Actual range varies by rider, route, and terrain.
Ultimate gravel capability
Checkpoint+ SL was built to roll over the rough with 50mm tire clearance and suspension fork (on all sizes except XS) and dropper post compatibility.
Epic all-day comfort
IsoSpeed tech smooths rough gravel roads, a 500 Series OCLV Carbon frame keeps things light, and Gravel Endurance geometry puts riders in a more comfortable all-day riding position.
Mounts to haul it all
Riders can easily add an Adventure Triangle Bag, Adventure Frame Bag, and rack for bikepacking adventures and daily commutes.
Extra squish or fully rigid
Riders who want to get rowdy or enjoy a little extra comfort can opt for Checkpoint+ SL 7 AXS, which comes with a 40mm RockShox Rudy suspension fork. Riders who prefer lightweight rigid efficiency can choose the rigid fork of Checkpoint+ SL 5 or 6 AXS.
Three Builds, One Platform
The Checkpoint+ SL is offered in three builds to suit different budgets and riding styles. All models share the same carbon frame, TQ HPR60 motor, 360Wh battery, IsoSpeed comfort tech, and tubeless-ready setup.
