Checkpoint ALR 5 Driftless is a custom-painted, high-quality gravel bike that will hold up for long, rugged miles on pavement, dirt, and even the most treacherous gravel roads. A wealth of features like nimble-yet-stable progressive geometry, loads of mounts, plus a GRX drivetrain make it easy to customize for your kind of adventure.
  • All-new progressive geometry is quick and nimble yet keeps you stable and in control on fast, choppy descents
  • The gorgeous paint scheme and topo map pattern evoke the rugged, hilly escape of Wisconsin’s driftless region—an area untouched by terrain-flattening glaciers
  • Comes kitted out with a custom Bontrager frame bag that features the same topo map design as your Checkpoint!
  • This bike is exceedingly versatile and suited to a wide variety of ride styles, including gravel rides, bikepacking, and daily commutes
  • Integrated frame bag mounts and rack and fender mounts make it easy to carry gear and water

More than a region. A state of mind.

The limited-edition Driftless design features topographic maps giving a nod to its namesake region, but more than that, its a tribute to endless miles of adventures that wait for you beyond the next climb.

Drop it like its hot

Dropper equipped for total versatility. Checkpoint Driftless is ready for you to get low on steep descents, drop a foot in dusty corners, and stay comfortable through long miles.

Carry it all

Load up for the long and dusty road with an included bolt-on frame bag with plenty of room for gear and snacks. Leaving no stone unturned, even the interior features unique topographic maps to inspire you to explore.

Shimano GRX

Shimano GRX was designed from the ground up for gravel adventure. With its gravel-specific ergonomics, optimized gearing options, rugged reliability, and quiet, stable drivetrain, GRX sets itself apart from the rest of the component world.

Don’t forget your pedals

This bike doesn’t come with pedals because you’ll have a better time on your new bike if you choose your own. See the pedal guide to find the best pedals for your riding style.
