A wealth of features like loads of mounts for bags and racks, and a SRAM Apex 1x12 drivetrain makes this Checkpoint ready to customise for your next adventure.

You favour epic gravel adventures that end with a big beverage and a burrito. But that doesn't mean you'll compromise on performance. You expect to get a lot for your hard-earned money, including quality, versatility, durability and a ridiculous amount of fun.

A stout 300 Series Alpha Aluminium frame with a progressive geometry that's stable at speed and efficient when you're grinding up a climb, hidden cables that won't interfere with bags, rack and mudguard mounts and integrated frame bag mounts, a 1x12 SRAM Apex drivetrain for grinding up hills or through rough gravel, hydraulic disc brakes for all-condition stopping power, tubeless-ready rims and wide Bontrager Girona Pro 700x42c gravel tyres for added stability and traction.
