The Lowrider fork mounts accept a rack or bag setup and are designed for Trek’s 720 Fork Rack. You have the option to run three water bottles in the main triangle and another under the down tube. It also allows you to run the bike as a singlespeed. A longer setting gives you stability, while a shorter setting quickens handling. This allows you to customize the wheelbase with 15 millimeters of total adjustability fore and aft. The Checkpoint also features Trek’s “Stranglehold” dropout, which is featured on one of the company’s mountain bikes, the Stache. It feels like a road bike, but not quite. Trek aims to strike a middle ground between stability and responsiveness. The Checkpoint does have a slightly taller stack height and a lower bottom bracket, though. The reach on both bikes is nearly identical the chain stay length and wheelbases are also the same. (Well, not completely it will still be available as a Project One build.) The Checkpoint replaces it and ditches the front decoupler as well as the adjustable rear decoupler, for the sake of affordability. Its rear, non-adjustable decoupler is the same you’ve seen on Trek’s Boone cyclocross bike.Īnd that’s not all the Checkpoint shares with the Boone. By combining smart engineering and familiar geometry, Trek achieved that balance with its new, affordable Checkpoint bike.įirst off, the Domane Gravel, which was released in late 2017, has met an untimely demise.
