What is different about the frame compared to the previous generation Checkpoint ALR?

•Now has the same gravel endurance geometry as Gen 3 Checkpoint SL which has a shorter and higher reach for a more comfortable, accessible, and capable all-day ride.
•Features the same top tube, frame, downtube, fork, fender, and rear rack mounts of its carbon counterpart.
•Frame is now better optimized to store bigger volume bottles, even when the new Bontrager Adventure Half Framebag or Adventure Triangle Bag are mounted on the frame.
• Bigger tire clearance so you can now fit up to 50mm gravel tires (as measured).
• Now compatible with 40mm travel suspension fork (all sizes except XS). Tested compatible models include: Rockshox Rudy/Rudy Ultimate, 30mm or 40mm travel and the Fox 32 Taper-Cast, 40mm travel
