Trek CheckOUT SL 5

Trek CheckOUT SL 5 – Your full-suspension gravel bike for off-road adventures

With the CheckOUT SL 5, Trek presents an uncompromising full-suspension gravel bike that blurs the lines between road bike, gravel bike and touring bike. It is aimed at people who not only want to ride on gravel and dirt roads, but also seek comfort, versatility and high-end components in a package that performs reliably on longer tours and in demanding terrain.

The bike combines a lightweight, well-designed frame with a sophisticated suspension system, cutting-edge drivetrain technology and components designed for long rides. Whether it's rough trails, rocky descents, fast gravel roads or dirt and forest trails, the CheckOUT SL 5 is ready to go anywhere.

A frame for all occasions

The 55 mm rear shock and the new Rudy XL fork with 60 mm of travel, developed in collaboration with RockShox, smooth out bumpy gravel roads and ensure a more comfortable and efficient ride on single trails compared to a conventional gravel bike.

Trailer-tested carbon frame

Keep the weight down despite luggage and equipment — thanks to a frame made from 500 Series OCLV Carbon that has been tested to the most stringent mountain bike standards.

The ultimate off-road drop bar

The new GR CheckOUT gravel handlebar allows for different grip positions and increases comfort and efficiency – no matter where your adventure takes you. Lean on the narrow upper handlebar to pick up speed on flowing gravel roads, or grip the wide lower handlebar to maintain control on bumpy terrain.

Gravel riding taken to a new level with plenty of tyre clearance

Compared to rigid gravel bikes, the CheckOUT's full suspension setup has been proven to reduce fatigue and noticeably increase comfort and control. Full suspension reduces rider breathing volume by 7.3%, reduces fatigue-inducing vibration energy by 41.5% and reduces steering deviation by 23%. With room for tyres up to 56 mm wide, you can confidently tackle even the roughest terrain.

Everything under control

Thanks to the brand new Gravel Adventure geometry, which was developed with a longer reach and a higher stack, you benefit from greater comfort and stability on your multi-day trips across a wide variety of terrain.

Born for bikepacking

With 18 frame mounts (from frame size M/L), an integrated luggage rack compatible with the rear shock and dropper seat post, and adjustable multi-mounts for perfect placement of water bottles and equipment, there's nothing you can't carry on your adventures.
