Description

Engineered with a lightweight 500 Series OCLV carbon frame and IsoSpeed technology to help soak up vibrations and shocks on or off road, this bike has been designed with a comfort-focused Gravel Endurance geometry to keep you in a relaxed and upright position for long days out in the saddle.

Optimised for a range of uses whether touring, bikepacking, or even just commuting, the Checkpoint SL5 has been equipped with an array of mounts on the frame and fork, and even an extra hydration option. Plus, there is more frame storage with a bigger storage door to store all your essentials tools and repair kits in case the need arises.
