Trek Checkpoint+ SL 6 AXS Fjord Blue: the electric gravel bike with a wireless MTB drivetrain

The Trek Checkpoint+ SL 6 AXS pairs an OCLV Series 500 carbon frame with IsoSpeed, the TQ HPR60 motor and its 360 Wh battery with a wireless SRAM GX Eagle AXS T-Type drivetrain and a 10-52 cassette. Trek quotes 13.76 kg in size ML, with tubeless sealant. The Fjord Blue/Cobalt Blue colourway fades a pale fjord blue into a deep cobalt blue.

Who is it for?

For the rider who loves leaving the tarmac for steeper, rougher tracks, and wants precise shifting in all conditions. It will appeal to mountain bikers who have come to gravel and will find a derailleur and cassette straight from the MTB world.

The LVR workshop view

OCLV carbon, Trek's signature. The frame of the Checkpoint+ SL 6 AXS is OCLV Series 500: a carbon that Trek compacts under heat and pressure to eliminate micro-voids, producing a strong frame without excess material. It incorporates IsoSpeed, which decouples the seat tube to filter out shocks, a UDH hanger ready for SRAM T-Type derailleurs and a chainstay guard. Trek's lifetime warranty covers this frame.

	Checkpoint+ SL (carbon)	Domane+ SL (road carbon)	Domane+ ALR (aluminium)
Level	Carbon electric gravel	Carbon electric road	Alloy for road and tracks
Construction	OCLV 500, IsoSpeed, luggage mounts	OCLV 500, TQ HPR40 motor	Alpha Series 300, TQ HPR60 motor
Reference bike	Checkpoint+ SL 6 AXS: 13.76 kg (ML)	Domane+ SL 6 AXS: 12.11 kg (ML)	Domane+ ALR 5: 14.39 kg (ML)
What it changes	42 mm tyres, 50 mm clearance	Lighter, 35 mm tyres	Heavier, 32 mm tyres

In short: the SL 6 AXS takes the frame and motor of the SL 5 and moves to wireless SRAM GX Eagle AXS in its T-Type version, bolted directly to the UDH hanger. At 13.76 kg in ML, it is the lightest Checkpoint+ SL quoted by Trek.

A "mullet" drivetrain combines a single chainring, drop bars and an MTB derailleur: here, SRAM GX Eagle AXS T-Type with an XS-1275 cassette from 10 to 52 teeth. The big sprocket lets you spin up the steep tracks on the foothills of the Caroux, even with the assist at its lowest, and direct mounting on the UDH hanger does away with a fragile derailleur hanger.

Wireless shifting is unaffected by the dust and water that clog cable housings; you just recharge the AXS battery from time to time. The TQ HPR60, with 60 Nm and 350 W peak, stays discreet and, as e-bike regulations require, its help stops at 25 km/h. The TQ LED display talks to your bike computer via Bluetooth and ANT+.

Which Checkpoint+ should you choose?

Model	Motor / battery	Drivetrain	Wheels / fork	Weight (ML)
Checkpoint+ SL 5	TQ HPR60 / 360 Wh	Shimano GRX 1x12, 10-51	Alloy, carbon fork	13.81 kg
Checkpoint+ SL 6 AXS	TQ HPR60 / 360 Wh	SRAM GX Eagle AXS, 10-52	Alloy, carbon fork	13.76 kg
Checkpoint+ SL 7 AXS	TQ HPR60 / 360 Wh	SRAM X0 Eagle AXS, 10-52	Carbon, Rudy XPLR 40 mm	14.05 kg
Domane+ ALR 5	TQ HPR60 / 360 Wh	SRAM Apex XPLR 1x12, 11-44	Alloy, 32 mm tyres	14.39 kg

Our take: at 13.76 kg in ML, the SL 6 AXS is 50 g lighter than the Shimano GRX SL 5 and 290 g lighter than the SL 7 AXS, which adds a RockShox Rudy fork and carbon wheels. In our view, it is the best-balanced compromise in the range.

LVR sizing advice

The Checkpoint+ SL comes in sizes XS to XL: Trek puts the ML between 177 and 188 cm. Cranks (165 to 172.5 mm) and handlebar width (40 to 46 cm) follow the size; we fine-tune saddle height and setback in store.

Size	XS	S	M	ML	L	XL
Rider (cm)	143-158	158-164	164-177	177-188	188-194	194-203
Inside leg (cm)	67-74	74-77	77-83	83-88	88-91	91-95

Your questions

What is a mullet drivetrain?	A single chainring with an MTB derailleur and cassette, here SRAM GX Eagle AXS and 10-52.
Does the derailleur need charging?	Yes, its AXS battery recharges like a phone, every so often.
Does a bike computer connect to the motor?	Yes, the TQ display has Bluetooth and ANT+.
Do the two blues contrast?	Gently: a light fjord blue that melts into a cobalt blue.

The LVR Cycles verdict

The lightest Checkpoint+ SL quoted by Trek, with a wireless drivetrain borrowed from mountain biking for steep tracks. Its fjord blue fading to cobalt gives it a genuinely fresh look.

Pros
+ 13.76 kg in ML
+ Wireless SRAM GX Eagle AXS T-Type
+ Very low-geared 10-52 cassette

Cons
- Paradigm Comp 25 alloy wheels
- Rigid fork on very rough terrain

Why buy from LVR Cycles? As a Trek dealer in Béziers, we pair your AXS drivetrain, adjust the T-Type derailleur, set your tyres up tubeless and handle TQ motor updates.
