Checkpoint ALR 3 is the best value gravel bike in the line-up. Kitted out with a 300 Series Alpha Aluminium frame, the Checkpoint ALR 3 is just as responsive on chunky gravel roads as it is smooth on the tarmac. Tubeless-ready wheels help fight punctures in the rough while a 2x9-speed Shimano group set and mechanical disc brakes balance budget with reliability.

You want to make the jump into the wide world of gravel, exploration and even daily commutes that wander off the beaten track - and you don't want to break the bank leaping in.

A responsive 300 Series Alpha Aluminium frame, hidden cables that won't interfere with bags, integrated rack, mudguard and frame bag mounts, a 2x9 Shimano Sora drivetrain for smooth shifting on punchy climbs and variable terrain, mechanical disc brakes for ease of stopping quick in all conditions, tubeless-ready rims and wide Bontrager Girona Pro 700x42c gravel tyres for added comfort and traction.

When you want to start exploring the road less travelled, reach for the Checkpoint ALR 3. This budget-minded gravel bike gives you room to grow from rugged commutes to gravel grinds with economical components and a comfortable, capable frame that's built to take you on every adventure.

- The durable and capable 300 Series Alpha Aluminium frame makes for a fun, stable and responsive ride

- You get serious versatility that's suited for a wide variety of ride styles, from gravel and bikepacking to daily commutes

- Massive tyre clearance means you can use tyres up to 45 c for extra traction and stability in any conditions

- Fork, top tube and integrated frame mounts make it easy to carry gear and water

- Powerful mechanical disc brakes make stopping in all conditions easy

New progressive geometry
For quick, nimble handling that still keeps you stable and in control on rougher descents.

Tyre clearance
Lots of clearance means you can run meatier tyres (700x45 mm or 27.5x2.1") for tackling chunkier gravel and terrain.

Tons of mounts
Integrated frame bag and mudguard mounts make it easy to carry gear and water.

Don't forget your pedals
This bike doesn't come with pedals because you'll have a better time on your new bike if you choose your own. See the pedal guide to find the best pedals for your riding style.
