Today, Trek Bicycle introduced the all-new CheckOUT, a full suspension drop bar gravel bike for epic, off-the-beaten-path adventures. Designed to be faster than a mountain bike on paved roads and more capable than a rigid gravel bike on singletrack, it’s the ideal rig for road-to-gravel-to-singletrack adventures, ultra-endurance events, extended bikepacking trips, and more.

Ride-it-all-suspension
CheckOUT smooths rough gravel roads and singletrack trails with 55mm rear travel and a new 60mm Rudy XL suspension fork designed in collaboration with RockShox.

Proven performance
CheckOUT’s full suspension setup is proven to decrease fatigue and increase comfort and control when compared to its rigid counterparts, leading to a 7.3% reduction in rider ventilation, a 41.5% reduction in fatiguing vibrational energy, and 23% less steering variation.

The ultimate off-road drop bar
An all-new GR CheckOUT drop bar is quick on the hoods and has an extra wide flare and ergonomic back sweep for more comfort and control.

Massive tire clearance
Room for up to 56mm/2.2″ tires (as measured) lets riders tackle rougher terrain with control and confidence.

Confidence-inspiring geometry
An all-new Gravel Adventure geometry has a longer reach and higher stack for added comfort and stability on multi-surface, multi-day adventures.
