Technology´s of the Checkpoint ALR 5 Gravelbikes

• 300 Series Alpha Aluminium - Trek's premium-grade aluminum is hydroformed into size-specific tubes that provide the perfect balance of stiffness and weight.
• Carbon fork - Lightweight fork with carbon fibre legs soaks up hand-numbing road vibration.
• Flat Mount Disc Brake - All-new flat mount disc brakes are more elegant, lighter, smaller and cleaner than traditional disc brakes, providing superior performance and stopping power under harsh conditions.
• Stranglehold-Dropouts - Thanks to these horizontally adjustable axle mounts, the geometry and drivetrain can be adapted to the desired application. In the longest setting, for example, the bike has more stability for longer rides and bike-packing tours. The dropouts also allow a quick and uncomplicated conversion to singlespeed drive.

• Blendr-compatible Stem - Bontrager Blendr stem technology lets you clip your gear directly to the stem for clean looks, maximum user friendliness.
• Control Freak Routing - This internal routing of the cables allows an uncomplicated conversion to 1by-drive or electronic shifting and protects the cables from dust and dirt.
• BB86.5 - Wide, stiff press-fit bottom bracket improves pedaling performance for exhilarating acceleration.
• Vanishing Fender Mounts - Discreet mounts accommodate full-coverage fenders for added utility.
