It is ideal for you if...
You have a desire for adventure and are looking for a bicycle with which to travel the paths less traveled. You're looking for IsoSpeed comfort technology to keep you comfortable through the toughest miles, an upgraded transmission that can withstand the rigors of tough gravel roads, and multiple racks to carry your gear and water bottles.
Features
The Checkpoint's Gravel Endurance geometry lets you sit higher and offers a shorter reach, so you'll be comfortable on your day-long gravel adventures, touring light singletracks, bikepacking, and much more.
IsoSpeed comfort technology absorbs vibrations from uneven terrain so you feel comfortable for longer
You will be able to change gears precisely thanks to the new SRAM Rival AXS 12-speed wireless electronic transmission
Wheel pitch for 50mm tires (as measured) means more traction and cushioning on the most demanding gravel roads
You can carry it all thanks to ample internal frame storage and numerous frame and fork mounts for hydration, front and rear racks, fenders, and Adventure Bags designed to perfectly fit the Checkpoint.
Compatible with telescopic post and suspension fork (except in size XS)
