Matte Axinit - 2020 Trek Checkpoint ALR 5 Aluminum Gravel Bike, Shimano 105, Feature Review & Weight

Checking out the 2020 Trek Checkpoint ALR 5 in Matte Axinit. This is a pretty capable alloy gravel bike with sliding rear dropouts, fat 40c tires, and the ability to run 650b and 700c wheels. The bike has numerous bottle cage and braze-on mounts to carry just about anything on the ride. It also runs a 2x11 Shimano 105 drivetrain with the wide range 11-34t cassette. Overall a pretty neat bike and it comes in at a decent weight.
