The new limited edition Trek Checkpoint Driftless comes kitted out with a custom paint job, frame bag, and a dropper post, making it one of the most versatile Checkpoint models yet. Learn more here…

The Checkpoint is Trek’s most capable drop-bar rig, with features like 45mm tire clearance, 1x drivetrain compatibility, a wide range of mounting points, and a variety of different price points and builds in aluminum and carbon. Just announced, the new Trek Checkpoint Driftless is their latest take on a gravel bike, which includes a few updates that look promising for bikepacking or anyone looking to get a little wild.

The Checkpoint Driftless is built up around Trek’s aluminum ALR 5 platform using their 300 Series Alpha Aluminum frame and a carbon fork. The frame has mounts under the downtube, top tube bosses, triple pack mounts on each fork leg, and rack and fender compatibility. This limited edition model takes things a step further with a 50mm travel Easton EA70 AX dropper post, a custom bolt-on frame bag, and Trek decided to update the press-fit bottom bracket to a threaded Praxis T47. The Driftless Checkpoint is finished with a new Satin Cobra Blood paint job with topographic map details and is available in six sizes from 49 to 61cm.
