IT'S RIGHT FOR YOU IF…
You favor epic gravel adventures that end with a big beverage and a burrito. But that doesn't mean you'll compromise on performance. You expect to get a lot for your hard-earned dollar, including quality, versatility, durability, and a ridiculous amount of fun.

THE FINAL WORD
If the amount of adventure you can get per dollar spent is a priority for you, Checkpoint ALR 5 is your ride. Quality parts, a durable alloy frame, and a wealth of features like extra tire clearance and customization options so you can confidently take on bigger, better adventures.
