Trek Checkpoint SL
Gravel riders who want one bike for events and weekends, not a dedicated race whip.
Trek's gravel all-rounder: stable, mounts everywhere, calmer than the Checkmate race bike. It likes loaded days more than a CX bike does.

Gravel-race Cervelo. Trail mixer, low and fast, built for events rather than touring. Aspero-5 adds aero.
