Mounts to haul it all

Take on epic all-day rides and bikepacking adventures with mounts on the frame and fork to carry top tube, frame and triangle bags

Epic all-day comfort

New, confident Gravel Endurance geometry puts you in a more relaxed upright riding position so you can stay comfortable on even your most epic adventures.

Smooth operator

Carbon models feature IsoSpeed comfort tech in the seat post to smooth out fatiguing bumps and potholes so you can ride stronger, for longer.

Beefy tyre clearance

Roll over the rough stuff with room to fit gravel tyres up to 50 mm wide (as measured).

Set it up to send it

The Checkpoint Gen 3 is now compatible with dropper posts and suspension forks* with up to 40 mm of travel so you can send it on chunkier gravel and steeper descents.

*On all sizes except XS

Internal storage to carry your stash

Roomier internal frame storage and a bigger storage door on our carbon models make it easy to carry essential tools inside your bike.
