Gravel bikes are versatile and capable bikes that can do it all and take you anywhere. From road rides through Zion National Park to mixed terrain trails in the surrounding that will take you to rarely visited wild places, Gravel Bikes are an underutilized way to connect with yourself and nature. At Zion Cycles, we offer a variety of bikes to choose from, each with its own benefits and strengths.

One of our favorite gravel bikes and the most popular with our clients is the Trek Checkpoint. The Trek Checkpoint was first introduced in 2018 as a versatile and high-performance gravel bike that can handle a variety of terrain, from smooth pavement to rough gravel roads.

The development of the Checkpoint was driven by the growing popularity of gravel riding, which is a type of cycling that involves riding on unpaved or partially paved roads. Gravel riding is a relatively new discipline in the world of cycling, and the Checkpoint was one of the first bikes specifically designed for this type of riding.

Since its introduction, the Trek Checkpoint has undergone several updates and revisions to make it an even better bike for gravel riding. The latest version features improved tire clearance, a more comfortable riding position, and a range of options for customizing the bike to fit the rider's needs.

At Zion Cycles, we believe that the Trek Checkpoint is the perfect bike for exploring Zion National Park and the surrounding outdoors on two wheels. With its ability to handle a wide variety of terrains, from smooth roads to rough gravel trails, the Checkpoint is a reliable and comfortable ride that's perfect for beginners and experienced riders alike.
