Description

The Trek Checkpoint ALR 3 is an adventure-ready aluminum gravel bike built for exploring beyond the pavement. Its modern endurance geometry keeps you comfortable over rough roads and long miles, while a carbon fork helps smooth out chatter and potholes. With clearance for up to 50mm tires, 10-speed Shimano CUES shifting, mechanical disc brakes, and plenty of mounts for bags and gear, it’s ready for everything from gravel detours to weekend escapes.
