The shop's feature list
- Trek Checkpoint SL 5 AXS Lava/Black Olive 2027
- Das Checkpoint SL 5 AXS Gen 3 ist ein abenteuerhungriges Carbon-Gravelbike für Touren weit jenseits des Horizonts. Sein leichter Carbonrahmen zeichnet sich durch eine komfortorientierte Geometrie aus und bietet Platz für Reifen mit bis zu 50 mm Breite (wie gemessen). Außerdem punktet dieses Gravelbike mit zahlreichen Aufnahmepunkten an Rahmen und Gabel. Darüber hinaus dämpft die IsoSpeed-Komforttechnologie ermüdende Straßenvibrationen und hilft dir, souverän über Unebenheiten und Schlaglöcher hinwegzugleiten. Ausgestattet ist es mit einer drahtlosen SRAM Apex XPLR AXS 1x12-Schaltung, die für deine Entdeckungstouren in abwechslungsreichem Terrain ausreichend Gänge bereithält.
