Pretty solid offering, great to see a 50mm tire clearance for hitting the rough stuff. I'm a fan of 1x drives and wireless shifting (I realize they aren't fore everyone) so this bike checks all the boxes for me. I'm not sold on the paint colors / designs though.
i mean i get they have a deal w sram, but, no shimano option is a no go for me... esp. since i want mechanical shifting
Max chainring size reduced to 46/30 from previous gen with 50/34 is actually a step backward
GEN 3 Service Manual Specifications also show 45mm MAX TIRE WIDTH for 2X drivetrains...which is the same as Gen2. Only 1X drivetrain has 50mm MAX TIRE WIDTH.
What brake calipers come with 5 and 6? Don't see it listed on Treks site
Will Bontrager rear racks be compatible with the new pnes as well? Gen2 had some of them listed.
Need Shimano GRX equipped models
It seems Trek doesn't like Shimano. All the models I saw on the Internet are SRAM-equiped. Do not know why.
@@sebastienkobenan6870 The aluminium models come with GRX. If you want carbon you have to get SRAM though.
Will the new Triangle and Top Tub Adventure bags fit Gen 2 Checkpoint SL5 as far as bolt-on goes? Thanks!
They are size specific based on the frame you're on
If you get the frame set can you move your 2X GRX drivetrain over to the Checkpoint GEN3 frame?
Framesets are available and Checkpoint Gen 3 is compatible with 2x drivetrains, both mechanical and wireless!
@@trekbikes The front derailleur bolt on hanger for the frame does not show up as being able to be purchased when you put the part number into the Trek webstore.
Please explain why 2X drivetrains have a max tire width of 45mm. Same as Gen 2.
Please explain why the 2x max is 46/30, when Gen 2 was 50/34.

Ok but why no shimano 2x option, I hate to see 1x on road and gravel bikes even I've been long time trek fan 😤, would also love to frequently use my gravel bike on road without spinning out too quickly, I don't want to own trillion bikes for every specific purpose. Guess I'll just go with new Nuroad c62 Race that Cube just revealed, seems like far better value.
50mm Tyre clearence @ 700c or @650?
700c
Per Gen 3 Service Manual, 50mm Max tire clearence on 1x drivetrain only. 45mm on 2x drivetrain, which is the same as Gen 2.
Headset cable routing make this checkpoint a no from me
Why did trek take away the 2x drivetrain for an all day gravel adventure bike? A 40 crank with a 11-44 cassette with electronic shifting doesn't sound like all day adventure gravel bike to me...gotta have a 2x or a different 1x crank/casette combo
You can technically still install FD by yourself with the attachment they sell. I am sure more drivetrain options will be offered later on.
What, 40x44 is still too hard for you? 😂
@@yukiko_5051ok Tadej, not everyone is as fit as you 🙄 I enjoy the 30-40 low gear on my 2x drivetrain very much
@yukiko_5051 adventure riding includes carrying camping gear and whatever else you need for a week. That's a small part of my assumptions for adventure riding. Perhaps my definition is too extreme for you? What are your assumptions? Or can you easily climb 30 pounds of gear with a 40 x 44?
@@TheKos2Kos If you really want to haul tons of stuff, go get 3x. There's 3x crank with 22t, now combine it with 51t cog and you can climb vertically. But i doubt you want triple, right? Lol
Trek has soo many bikes and stuff, maybe too many, but having a second option in drive train was not a possibility? .. this sucks, don't want electronic, don't want sram, don't want 1x.. and it's getting too damn expensive. I probably going to another brand this time.
Painting looks terribble. Design downgrade.
