Overview

It's right for you if...

You have big dreams for the likes of The Mid-South, Belgian Waffle Rides, and UNBOUND Gravel, and know you'll need a seriously dialed-in gravel bike for these epic adventures. You want our most advanced Checkpoint frame that's made specifically for gravel racing or fast gravel adventures.

The tech you get

A 700 Series OCLV Carbon frame with IsoSpeed and carbon armor, a progressive geometry that's stable at speed and efficient when you're grinding up a climb, internal storage, hidden cables that won't interfere with bags, and integrated frame bag and fender mounts. Plus, a carbon fork, 1x12 SRAM RED AXS wireless electronic drivetrain with a wide-range cassette, and Bontrager Aeolus RSL 37V carbon wheels with wide 700x40c gravel tires that provide extra traction and stability. Fits up to 45c tires.

The final word

This ultra-light, meticulously-crafted Checkpoint frame is designed and built for performance and comfort during grueling gravel races or long and fast gravel rides. It's ultra-light, fast, and comes with premium parts like SRAM’s top-of-the-line wireless electronic drivetrain and RSL carbon wheels.
