One Year Gravel Bike Review: Trek Checkpoint AL 3 / AL3

We have had our Checkpoint AL3 for over a year and would like to share with you what we think about the bike. We think it is a great entry level gravel bike that represents a great value for its USD1,200 price tag. We are not sponsored by Trek but just want to give you our thoughts after a year of riding it. I hope you find it useful if you're in the market for gravel bikes. Let us know if you have any questions below!

We love biking and we love New York City, but biking in the city is not always fun. We love riding gravel and dirt roads and finding beautiful sceneries not far from New York City.
