Trek Checkpoint ALR 5 Gen 3

Go farther. Take the long way home.

Checkpoint ALR 5 is an aluminum gravel bike built for riders who want to go farther, faster. Its modern endurance geometry pairs with a carbon fork for road-smoothing comfort, while clearance for up to 50mm tires adds traction and confidence on rough terrain. A SRAM Apex XPLR 12-speed drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes, Tubeless Ready Bontrager Paradigm wheels, and plenty of mounts for bags and gear make it ready for big adventures.

The ride, not just the specs

Some roads are better unplanned.

There is a certain kind of freedom that starts when the pavement ends. The Checkpoint was built for exactly that feeling: comfortable enough to stay out longer, capable enough to keep going, and ready to carry what matters.

We love bikes that invite you to say yes to the extra mile. This is one of them.

Good to know7

  • Gravel Specific Tires Wider gravel-specific tires provide better traction and more stability while riding on gravel or dirt tracks.
  • Carbon fork Lightweight fork with carbon fiber legs soaks up hand-numbing road vibration.
  • Flat Mount disc brakes All-new Flat Mount disc brakes are more elegant, lighter, smaller, and cleaner than traditional disc brakes, providing superior performance and stopping power under harsh conditions.
