FAQs
What is the range of the TQ 360Wh battery?
Battery range varies significantly based on terrain, assist level, rider weight, and conditions. With the 360Wh battery, you can expect assistance for extended gravel rides, often covering 60-100 miles or more depending on usage.
Can I fit fenders and racks to this bike?
Yes, the Checkpoint+ SL 6 AXS features hidden mudguard mounts and rack mounts, making it fully compatible with fenders and racks for commuting or bikepacking.
What is the maximum tire size I can fit?
The frame and fork offer clearance for tires up to 50 mm in width, providing excellent comfort and traction on rough gravel and varied terrain.
How do I maintain the SRAM GX AXS wireless drivetrain?
Keep the chain clean and lubricated. The wireless system requires minimal mechanical adjustment but may need to be re-paired with the shifter if connectivity is lost. Periodically check for firmware updates via the SRAM AXS app.
Is the TQ motor system noisy?
The TQ HPR60 motor is known for its exceptionally smooth and quiet operation, providing assistance without significantly altering the natural riding sound.
What is IsoSpeed?
IsoSpeed is a Trek technology that decouples the seat tube from the top tube and seat stays, allowing the seat tube to flex independently. This provides added compliance and comfort over rough surfaces without compromising the bike's stiffness.
What size rider does each frame size accommodate?
Refer to the sizing chart in the product information. For example, size M (52-54cm) is typically for riders between 164-177 cm (5'5"-5'10") tall.
Troubleshooting
TQ motor not providing assistance
Check battery charge level and ensure it is properly seated. Verify that the system is powered on and the assist level is selected. Consult the TQ app for any error codes or system status updates. If the issue persists, contact a Trek dealer for service.
SRAM AXS shifting is erratic or skipping gears
Ensure the derailleur is properly aligned and the battery is charged. Check for any debris around the derailleur or cassette. Re-pair the derailleur with the shifter via the SRAM AXS app. If problems continue, a professional adjustment may be needed.
TQ LED display not connecting via Bluetooth/ANT+
Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smart device. Restart both the bike's display and your smart device. Try re-pairing the devices through the TQ app. Ensure the firmware for both is up to date.
Reduced battery range
Ensure the battery is fully charged. Check for the latest firmware updates for the TQ system. Reduce the assist level used, avoid excessive pedaling in high assist modes, and ensure tires are properly inflated and have moderate tread for less rolling resistance.
