Trek Checkmate SLR
Gravel racers coming from a road-race fit who found Checkpoint too tall or too touring-oriented.
The gravel-race Trek: lower, longer, and more aero than Checkpoint. It wants speed on dirt, not a full frame-bag tour.

Right now, Nino Schurter and Scott's pros. Someday soon, us mere mortals. This bike is for the folks who need cutting edge and aren't afraid of the early-adopter tax.
We don't know yet. The press and Scott have been tight-lipped. But we bet there's going to be some fun to be had now that 32" wheels seem to be making their way over from mountain bikes to gravel.

More Foil than Addict up front: short forward-extended head tube, aero fork crown, dropped seatstays, and a D-shaped post from today's Addict Gravel RC.
Scott put 32" wheels and 50 mm rubber on a purpose-built carbon frameset at Unbound. Officially a prototype — the molds suggest otherwise.
