Description
It’s right for you if…
Chamois or cut-off shorts, bikepacking trip or brutal day of gravel racing – you’re going to ride far and have a great time. You want a bike that’s both fast and comfortable, and you want endless options for loading up gear and heading to gravel races and on everyday adventures.
The tech you get
A 500 Series OCLV Carbon frame with damped rear IsoSpeed and carbon armour, progressive geometry that’s stable at speed and efficient when you’re grinding up a climb, internal frame storage, hidden cables that won’t interfere with bags and integrated frame, fork, rack and mudguard mounts. Plus, a carbon fork, a 2×12 Shimano GRX drivetrain with lower gears for grinding up hills or through rough gravel and Paradigm SL wheels. You can even run a dropper post to get low on long descents.
The final word
Light, fast, comfortable. The Checkpoint SL 5 gives you the unmatched ride quality of an OCLV Carbon frame with IsoSpeed and gravel-specific geometry, plus internal storage and a drivetrain built for rough terrain.
Why you’ll love it
- It’s equipped with rugged, gravel-focused 2×12 Shimano GRX drivetrain that’s made for tackling the roads less travelled
- Massive tyre clearance means you can use tyres up to 45 c for extra traction and stability in any conditions
- Fork mounts, frame mounts, and rack and mudguard mounts allow you to carry all the gear you need for day trips and bikepacking adventures
- A sleek internal storage compartment gives you a versatile spot to stow tools and gear
- The damped, controlled rebound of the IsoSpeed decoupler soaks up fatiguing bumps without bouncing you around
