Product Information

Full details

The Trek Checkpoint+ SL 7 AXS is an electric gravel bike designed for ambitious adventurers seeking to explore further and tackle more challenging terrain. Its primary benefit is the seamless integration of a lightweight carbon frame with a powerful yet quiet TQ motor, offering assistance without compromising the natural feel of riding. A potential caveat is the learning curve associated with advanced electronic shifting and motor systems. Key features include a responsive OCLV Carbon frame, a smooth TQ HPR60 motor, a 40mm Rock Shox suspension fork, and a precise SRAM Force AXS E1 drivetrain.

FAQs

What is the range of the TQ battery?

The TQ 360Wh battery range varies significantly based on terrain, rider weight, assist level, and riding style. Under optimal conditions, expect assistance for rides extending well over 50 miles, with potential for much longer rides using lower assist levels or the standard pedaling effort.

How do I maintain the TQ motor?

The TQ HPR60 motor is designed for low maintenance. Keep it clean and free from excessive dirt or mud. Avoid using high-pressure washers directly on the motor housing. For any internal issues, consult a qualified Trek dealer.

Can I fit wider tires on this bike?

The frame and fork are designed to accommodate tires up to 700x42 mm. While wider tires might physically fit, it's recommended to stay within this limit to ensure adequate mud clearance and proper tire seating on the rims.

What is the warranty period for the bike and its components?

Trek offers a limited lifetime warranty on its OCLV Carbon frames and rear suspension linkages. Other components, including the TQ motor and battery, typically carry a manufacturer's warranty of two years. Please refer to the official Trek warranty documentation for specifics.

How do I adjust the Rock Shox Rudy XPLR fork?

The fork can be adjusted using its Solo Air spring for rider sag and the Rebound dial to control the speed at which the fork extends after compression. Consult the Rock Shox documentation for detailed instructions on setting sag and rebound.

Is the SRAM AXS system compatible with older SRAM eTap components?

The SRAM AXS E1 system is designed to work seamlessly within the AXS ecosystem. While AXS components are generally cross-compatible within their generation, it's always best to consult SRAM's official compatibility charts for specific pairings.

Can I use this bike for commuting?

Yes, the bike's versatility, integrated mounts for fenders, and the electric assist make it a capable commuter, especially for longer or hillier routes. However, its primary design is for off-road adventures.

Troubleshooting

Motor does not provide assistance

Ensure the battery is charged and properly seated. Check the TQ LED display for error codes. Verify that the bike's speed sensor is clean and properly aligned. Consult the TQ system manual or a Trek dealer if the issue persists.

SRAM AXS shifting is erratic or fails

Check battery levels in the AXS shifters and derailleur. Re-pair the shifters with the derailleur via the SRAM AXS app or by holding the AXS button. Ensure the derailleur hanger is straight. Clean the derailleur's clutch mechanism.

TQ display is unresponsive

Attempt to restart the display by holding the power button. Ensure the display is securely connected. If using a smartphone app, ensure Bluetooth is enabled and the app is updated. Check the TQ system manual for reset procedures.

Tires are losing air (tubeless setup)

Check the valve core for tightness. Add more tubeless sealant if the leak is persistent. Inspect the rim tape for damage or improper installation. Ensure the tire bead is properly seated on the rim.

Brakes are noisy or lack stopping power

Clean the rotors and brake pads with isopropyl alcohol. Inspect pads for wear and replace if necessary. Ensure rotors are true and free of bends. Bed in new brake pads according to manufacturer instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup:

  1. Assemble the bike according to manufacturer instructions or consult a professional bike mechanic. Pay close attention to torque specifications for carbon components.
  2. Charge the TQ battery fully before the first ride using the provided charger.
  3. Pair your compatible electronic devices (smartphone, GPS computer) with the TQ controller via Bluetooth or ANT+ for ride data and system monitoring.

Compatibility:

  • Drivetrain: SRAM AXS E1 components are designed for wireless electronic shifting. Ensure any derailleur hanger or chain replacements are T-Type compatible.
  • Wheels: Bontrager Aeolus Elite 35V rims are Tubeless-Ready. Use appropriate tubeless sealant and rim tape for optimal performance and puncture protection.
  • Tires: The frame and fork accommodate up to 700x42 mm tires. Ensure ample clearance is maintained, especially with mud.
  • Accessories: The bike features integrated mounts for fenders and racks, enhancing its versatility. Blendr-compatible stem allows for seamless integration of lights and computers.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Regularly clean the bike with mild soap and water. Avoid high-pressure washers, especially around the motor and electronic components. Dry thoroughly.
  • Chain Maintenance: Keep the SRAM Eagle T-Type chain clean and lubricated for optimal shifting performance. Use appropriate T-Type chain lubricant.
  • Battery Care: Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Avoid extreme temperatures. Follow TQ's guidelines for battery longevity, typically involving partial charging rather than full depletion.
  • Tire Care: Check tire pressure regularly and inspect for wear or damage. Ensure tubeless setup is maintained.
