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.

  • “Carries the torch”

    Very impressed. Over the fast but lumpier sections of my loop, it did an exceptional job of taking the sting out of the vibrations...Comfort, speed and top performance but in an accessible package.
