The Trek Checkout SL 5 is a revolutionary full-suspension gravel bike that redefines what's possible on rough roads, gravel tracks and even singletrack. Built around an OCLV Carbon frame, it delivers 55mm of rear suspension travel via a RockShox SIDluxe IsoStrut shock, smoothing out the roughest gravel surfaces and reducing rider fatigue on big adventure days.
Shimano GRX mechanical groupset provides reliable, gravel-specific shifting, and a dropper post comes standard so you can drop the seat for technical descents without missing a beat. The wide-flare Bontrager GR CheckOut handlebar maximises control on rough trails, while wide tyre clearance up to 56mm lets you run the rubber that suits your terrain.
Available at Lifecycles Byron Bay — Byron Bay's local Trek dealer. If you want to go further on rougher roads, the Checkout SL 5 opens up a whole new world of adventure. Visit us in store or enquire online today.
