I don't think I could tell you how enamored I am with this bike. I've had it since April, and have put over 2500 miles on it. From big dumb long rides, to short jaunts around town. It handled it all with grace and capability. The latest mind blower was at the Heck of the North. A gravel event that takes you deap into the Superior National Forest on tracks that quickly devolve into technical rock gardens. Think slippery climbs with ledges and exposed baby heads. For dozens of miles. Set up with 42 Terravail Cannonball tires I had all the traction I needed. The isospeed that had ceased being a gimmick long ago, came into its own again on those tough sections of trail. On the smoother parts of the road, it allowed me to be able to lay down watts and push the pace up. Sometimes more than a bit. If you're not going to work in a pace line, I'm not going to let you follow me. If you're looking for a reliable, efficient bike to crush gravel, or a versatile bike that can take you on the left turn onto that interesting road, this is it. Find a #checkpoint - you won't regret it. . . . #trekcheckpoint #trekbikes @trekbikes #gravelbike #allroadbike #yesitcangothere #gravel #endurancebike #idbuyit https://www.instagram.com/p/BomGnFGnWyM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15o8wa5ozmhu4
