Who is it for?

For the rider who dreams of bikepacking or tours of a few days without dreading the climbing with loaded bags. It is also for those who want to reach the trails from their front door by road, without arriving already tired.

The LVR workshop view

OCLV carbon, Trek's signature. The Checkpoint+ SL 5 gets an OCLV Series 500 carbon frame, Trek's first carbon level, moulded using the in-house process: the plies are compacted under pressure and heat to eliminate voids between the fibres. Trek fits in the TQ motor, the battery and all the wiring without giving up IsoSpeed or the luggage mounts. Like all OCLV frames, it benefits from Trek's lifetime warranty.

	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 5: 13.81 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 5 shares the frame, carbon fork and motor of the more expensive Checkpoint+ SL models. The difference lies in the drivetrain, a cable-operated Shimano GRX derailleur instead of SRAM wireless, for almost the same weight as the SL 6 AXS.

A loaded bike quickly gains several kilos: that is where the 60 Nm of the TQ HPR60 really come into their own. The climbs of the Montagne Noire stay manageable at touring pace, and you choose the assist level to spare the 360 Wh battery on a long stage. Slip the charger into your bags and recharge at the gîte.

The integrated chainstay guard protects the carbon from chain slap on rough tracks, and the wiring runs entirely inside the frame, safe from mud. The mudguard mounts are concealed: you forget about them when you are not using them. The Praxis cranks go from 165 mm in XS and S to 172.5 mm in L and XL.

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: the SL 5 (13.81 kg in ML) stays very close to the SL 6 AXS (13.76 kg); for a touring bike, the cable-operated GRX drivetrain is an asset, because it can be repaired anywhere. The Domane+ ALR 5 (14.39 kg) is more road-focused with its 32 mm tyres.

LVR sizing advice

Your questions

Can you recharge while touring?	Yes, with the TQ charger and an ordinary socket; remember to pack it in your bags.
Are the mounts visible?	The mudguard mounts are concealed; the frame bag mounts are integrated.
What gearing for loaded climbs?	The 51-tooth sprocket, combined with the motor's 60 Nm, gets you up the gradients with bags on.
Does the matt bronze show the dirt?	It hides dust well; clean it with soapy water, without polishing products.
