Trek Checkpoint+ SL 5 Electric Gravel Bike – Matte Bronze Age / Dark Web

The Trek Checkpoint+ SL 5 is an electric gravel bike designed for riders who want to go further, faster, and longer — without losing the natural feel of a traditional gravel ride. It blends lightweight performance with subtle electric assistance, making it ideal for epic gravel adventures, long endurance rides, and fast mixed-surface exploring.

At its core is Trek’s OCLV Carbon frame, paired with endurance-focused geometry that keeps you comfortable and in control when the kilometres start to stack up. The ride feels lively and responsive, while still offering the stability gravel riders love on loose surfaces and long backroads.

Power comes from the TQ HPR60 motor, delivering smooth, quiet assistance that feels natural rather than overpowering. It gives you just the right boost on climbs, into headwinds, or late in the ride when fatigue sets in. The integrated 360Wh battery is neatly hidden in the frame and offers plenty of range for big days out, while maintaining the sleek look of a non-electric bike.

The Shimano GRX 12-speed 1x drivetrain is purpose-built for gravel riding, providing reliable shifting and a wide gear range that’s perfect for steep climbs, rolling terrain, and fast flats. Durable alloy wheels round out the build, offering strength and reliability for everything from smooth bike paths to rough gravel roads.

Finished in Matte Bronze Age / Dark Web, the Checkpoint+ SL 5 looks as refined as it rides — understated, premium, and adventure-ready.

Sizing

How tall are you?

To measure your height, stand up straight, barefoot, with your back, heels, shoulders and head all touching a wall. While looking straight ahead, place a book or straight edge on your head and slowly push it against the wall. Your straight edge should be parallel with the floor. Mark the spot where the bottom of the book is touching the wall. The distance from the marked spot to the floor is your height.

What is your inside leg?

How to measure: Stand barefoot with your back straight and against a wall. Tuck a ruler or something that extends to the floor between your legs. Using both hands, and keeping it level, pull the ruler up into your crotch as if yo u were sitting on the saddle. Measure the distance from the top edge of the ruler to the ground to find your inside leg measurement. Your inside leg is very important to your final bike size so please measure carefully.
