Today, Trek Bicycle introduced the all-new CheckOUT<\/a>, 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\u2019s the ideal rig for road-to-gravel-to-singletrack adventures, ultra-endurance events, extended bikepacking trips, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proven performance<\/strong>
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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
