Description

The Checkpoint ALR 5 is an adventure-ready alloy gravel bike that's kitted with quality parts for long, rugged rides on anything from chunky gravel to smooth tarmac. A wealth of features like multiple mounts for bags and racks, combined with a SRAM Apex 1x12 drivetrain, make this bike ready to customise for your next adventure.

Built around a stout 300 Series Alpha Aluminium frame with progressive geometry, the Checkpoint is stable at speed and efficient on climbs. Hidden cables won't interfere with bags, while integrated frame bag mounts, rack and mudguard mounts add serious versatility. A SRAM Apex 1x12 drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes, tubeless-ready rims and wide 700x40c gravel tyres ensure confident performance across all terrains.
