Trek Checkpoint+ SL 7 AXS

Trek Checkpoint+ SL 7 AXS Overview

The Trek Checkpoint+ SL 7 AXS is an electric gravel bike built around a 500 Series OCLV Carbon frame with a TQ drive system, IsoSpeed, internal routing, fender mounts, flat mount disc fitment, UDH, and a 142x12mm chamfered thru axle. It pairs that carbon frame with a RockShox Rudy XPLR fork using a Solo Air spring, tapered steerer, 45mm offset, 12x100mm thru axle, and 40mm travel.

The e-system uses a TQ-HPR60 motor with 60 Nm of torque, 250 watt maximum continuous rated power, and 350 watt peak power. Power comes from a TQ 360Wh battery, while the TQ color LED display includes Bluetooth and ANT+ connectivity. This bike is classified as a Class 3 e-bike and comes with a TQ 4A charger.

The drivetrain combines a SRAM Force AXS E1 shifter with a SRAM X0 Eagle AXS T-Type rear derailleur, SRAM Eagle XS-1295 T-Type 10-52 12-speed cassette, and SRAM X0 Eagle T-Type 12-speed chain. The Praxis Alloy crankset uses size-specific crank lengths, and the frame supports a maximum 1x chainring size of 44T.

For the wheel setup, the bike uses Bontrager Aeolus Elite 35V OCLV Carbon Tubeless Ready wheels with 35mm rim depth. The rear wheel includes a SRAM XDR driver and 142x12mm thru axle. Bontrager Girona Pro 700x42mm Tubeless Ready tires include GR puncture protection, aramid beads, and 60 tpi casing, with Bontrager TLR sealant and Bontrager TLR rim strips included.
