Product Information

Full details

Its key benefit is the seamless integration of a lightweight electric assist system with a high-performance carbon frame, offering natural-feeling power to conquer longer distances and varied terrain.

FAQs

What is the expected range of the integrated battery?

Range varies significantly based on terrain, rider weight, assist level, and rider input. However, the 360Wh battery is designed for long gravel rides, with an optional 160Wh range extender available for even greater distances.

How long does it take to charge the battery?

Charging time depends on the charger and battery state, but typically, the integrated 360Wh battery can be charged to full capacity in approximately 3-4 hours.

Can I use this bike in the rain?

Yes, the bike and its electrical components are designed to be weather-resistant for riding in various conditions. However, avoid deep submersion or high-pressure washing directly on the motor and battery.

What is the maximum tyre size I can fit?

The Trek Checkpoint+ SL 6 AXS has clearance for tires up to 50mm wide, providing excellent versatility and comfort on diverse gravel surfaces.

Is the electric assist system noticeable or intrusive?

The TQ HPR60 motor is designed for a natural and quiet feel. The assistance is intended to complement your pedaling rather than overpower it, making the ride feel smoother and more efficient.

How do I clean and maintain the electric components?

Clean the motor and battery area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid direct high-pressure water spray. Regularly check connections and refer to the TQ system manual for detailed maintenance guidelines.

What warranty is provided for the electric system?

Trek typically offers a warranty on their frames and components, including electric systems. Please refer to the official Trek warranty documentation or contact a Trek dealer for specific details regarding the TQ system and battery warranty.

Troubleshooting

Electric assist not engaging

Ensure the battery is charged and properly connected. Check that the system is turned on and in an assist mode. Verify all system connections are secure and consult the TQ system manual for error codes.

Wireless shifting issues (dropped chains, missed shifts)

Check battery levels for the SRAM AXS components. Re-pair the derailleurs and shifters following SRAM's instructions. Ensure the derailleur hanger is straight and that there are no obstructions in the drivetrain.

Reduced range or power

Confirm the battery is fully charged. Check for excessive drag from tires or drivetrain. Ensure you are not using a higher assist level than necessary for the terrain. For longer rides, ensure the range extender is properly connected and functional.

Motor making unusual noise

Clean the motor area and check for any debris. If the noise persists, it may indicate a motor issue; contact a Trek dealer or qualified service center.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup: While your bike will arrive mostly assembled, professional final assembly and safety checks by a qualified bike mechanic are highly recommended to ensure all components, especially the electric system, are correctly installed and adjusted. This includes fitting handlebars, pedals, and checking brake and gear indexing.

Compatibility: The bike is designed to work with specific TQ system components. The battery is integrated, and a separate 160Wh range extender module can be purchased and connected for extended adventures. Ensure any aftermarket accessories like racks or bags are compatible with the frame's mounting points.

Care: Keep the bike clean, especially the drivetrain and motor area. Use a damp cloth to clean the frame and motor housing; avoid high-pressure washing directly on the motor or battery. Regularly check tire pressure, brake function, and gear shifting. Refer to the TQ e-bike system manual for specific battery care and charging instructions. Store the bike in a dry place when not in use.
