Dollar for Carbon this might be the best valued parts and frame combination for a bike. Trek has really priced this well along its other gravel choices.
Thanks for watching, if you want to know what my set up is check out the links below, comment if you want more info!

MISTAKE NOTED! THERE IS NO ISOSPEED ON THE FRONT, JUST LOOKS LIKE THAT BECAUSE OF THE CABLE MANAGEMENT SORRY GUYS

I love my Checkpoint...very high utility and functionality

@sradford2498 Год назад

Thanks for your review, Chris. Just bought one today. I'm super excited to get the bike out on those long gravel rides

@AncientAviator 4 месяца назад

Thanks Chris. Nice job!!

@johnsampson2544 Год назад

Nice review. I have this bike on order for the end of Feb./early Mar. Just in time for the warmer weather, and my 60th birthday. I did 1550 mi last year on my Trek Marlin 7 (hardtail). I can't wait to see what I can do on the Checkpoint. I'd like to hit 2000 mi., but we'll see.

@goodluckchrisclark Год назад

Damn 1500 on a Marlin, you'll easily hit 2k

@johnsampson2544 Год назад

@@goodluckchrisclark Yeah, I've definitely been using the wrong tool for the job I've been doing. When I bought the Marlin in 2019, I was just getting back into riding, and had never owned any kind of drop bar bike before. If I'd known then what I know now I'd have bought a Domane or a Checkpoint (if they were around then).

@johnsampson2544 Год назад

@@goodluckchrisclark UPDATE: I brought the SL5 home yesterday. I took her out this morning and did almost 35 miles. So much nicer a ride than on the Marlin. The 15+ mph headwind on the last leg was the only negative. It was like pedaling through molasses. Otherwise, it was a wonderful maiden ride.

@reruddock Год назад

That SL5 is really nice looking. After buying both the RedShift Shock Stop stem and seat post, I will never be without them. They are so much superior to the iso-speed decoupler system Trek engineered and charges a fortune for. They also make an aluminum-framed bike feel extremely comfortable, so there is no need to spend the premium on a carbon fiber bike unless a couple of pounds of weight savings are important to you. Just my 2 cents.

@Gosbecol123 Год назад

good call i will try them

@Moqui10 7 месяцев назад

Cool story, bro.

@horriflying 5 месяцев назад

Try the vecnum stem. Another huge step up from redshift stems

@adamking4246 Год назад

A bike I'd love you own but will never afford.lol. Good job explaining the bike's features.

@GottaJibbo0 Год назад

I'm close to pulling the trigger on this bike, but with the price, the risk is higher than the reward when it comes to potential theft or frame cracking. I'm probably going to get it anyway damn you trek!

@goodluckchrisclark Год назад

I definitely wouldn't be afraid of frame cracking, we've never had that issue plus Trek has lifetime frame warranty

@Wooster23 11 дней назад

SL5 vs Driftless?

@brucewalker6141 Год назад

As others have pointed out, there is no front iso speed on the Checkpoint. This needs to be corrected.

@goodluckchrisclark Год назад

Pinned a comment, My bad! Thanks

@V.Philly Год назад

I thought they dropped iso speed in the front

@goodboyringo9716 Год назад

In the Domane

@nathanjimenez1562 Год назад

@Good boy Ringo checkpoint doesn't have front iso speed the new 23 Gen 4 Domane dropped it.

Is a dropper post advantageous on a gravel bike?

@goodluckchrisclark 9 месяцев назад

Only if your doing Extreme offroad

@JJ-rf7dg 5 месяцев назад

Trek needs more color options.

@Cesarz28 Год назад

How would this bike perform with road tiers?

@FirstLast-pr2pj Год назад

the aluminum one is.

@regularMattMatt Год назад

Do you think this will still perform good when doing road riding? Or its best to go with domane?

@goodluckchrisclark Год назад

Have a lot of guys just running this full time who switched from the Domane

@regularMattMatt Год назад

@@goodluckchrisclark do you know if they are switching wheels when doing road or gravel? Im trying to get 1 bike that can potentially do road and gravel

@szabonz Год назад

@@regularMattMatt I have this bike with two wheel sets. I've just bought a 28mm road set and I'm quite happy with that. For gravel (or even for winter/wet weather) i'm going to use the original 40mm Bontrager set. (I like the comfort, probably I'm not tough enough 😀 )

@adamf3191 Год назад

Does not have front iso speed

@goodluckchrisclark Год назад

My bad, looks the same but it's just for the cable routing

@peterwilliamson4296 Год назад

I can see the appeal of the so called gravel bike. Roadies might like its lower gears and greater comfort while mtb riders might like being much faster on the flats.

@horriflying 5 месяцев назад

Nice review, the wheels are complete junk. First thing I replaced. Added a redshift pro suspension post, and a vecnum suspension stem. Like riding sat in an armchair. Ridiculous good gravel bike that can handle single track with ease as well.

@h1n1worm 4 месяца назад

yes,wheels are just ridiculously bad for that level of bike.

@cesar0610 Год назад

You get better gravel bike with less money and better geometry and components level

@moto-rambler 8 месяцев назад

So much BS salesmanship in this video it's hilarious. Carbon isn't the be all and end all. Jeez, this carbon is so good that it isn't lighter than the aluminum ALR 5 yet costs WAY more. Give it a rest mate.

@roadracer1584 11 месяцев назад

How much payola did Trek give you to pump their bike? If it were me, I don't endorse any product unless I get little kickback. Standard business practice.
