Where it stands
Priced close to what German shops charge for this level of equipment, so it does not clear the margin we require before naming a pick.

The compromises
- 9-speed drivetrain, fewer gears than the 11- and 12-speed groupsets on most gravel bikes.
- Wheels not identified from the listing, so we scored them level with basic aluminium rather than guess.
- Mechanical (cable) disc brakes rather than hydraulic.

The shop's feature list
- Trek Checkpoint ALR 3 Crimson 2025 Das Checkpoint ALR 3 ist das Gravelbike mit dem besten Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis in unserem Sortiment. Das auf einem Rahmen aus 300 Series Alpha Aluminium basierende Checkpoint ALR 3 ist agil auf holprigem Schotter und geschmeidig auf glattem Asphalt. Die Tubeless-Ready-Laufräder helfen, Reifenpannen in grobem Geläuf zu minimieren, während der 2x9-Antrieb von Shimano und die mechanischen Scheibenbremsen die Zuverlässigkeit erhöhen und den Preis niedrig halten.
