With its 500 Series OCLV Carbon frame, IsoSpeed comfort technology, and wireless SRAM Apex XPLR AXS shifting, it delivers smooth, stable performance no matter where the path leads.
Checkpoint’s endurance geometry puts comfort first — perfect for long hours on mixed terrain. The IsoSpeed system absorbs vibration from rough gravel and patchy backroads, reducing fatigue and keeping you moving efficiently.
There’s space for up to 50 mm tyres, giving you all the grip and control you need when surfaces get unpredictable. Plus, integrated mounts on the frame and fork make it fully ready for bags, bottles, racks and adventure kits.
