Trek CheckOUT SL 5 2026 Gravel Bike
Full-suspension carbon gravel bike built for the wildest adventures
The Trek CheckOUT SL 5 2026 is a purpose-built full-suspension gravel bike engineered for riders who crave off-the-grid exploration. Designed around Trek’s advanced 500 Series OCLV Carbon frame, this bike balances lightweight performance with rugged durability. Whether you’re riding remote fire roads, technical gravel trails or off-road singletrack, the CheckOUT SL 5 delivers comfort, control and capability like no other.
At its core is 55 mm of rear travel from the RockShox SIDluxe IsoStrut shock, working in harmony with a RockShox Rudy XL Ultimate fork offering 60 mm of front travel. The combination offers smooth handling across unpredictable terrain, backed by Bontrager Paradigm Comp wheels and 50 mm wide Betasso RSL GX tyres for grip and stability. A Shimano GRX 12-speed drivetrain and dropper post round out the spec, making this gravel machine trail-ready from day one.
