YOUR BACKCOUNTRY ADVENTURE, AMPLIFIED.

If your idea of a perfect Saturday is 80 kilometers of gravel, 400 meters of climbing, and a trail that doesn’t show up on Google Maps—the Checkpoint+ SL 6 AXS is your ride. It takes everything we love about the legendary Checkpoint gravel platform and adds a whisper-quiet "virtual tailwind" to help you push past your previous limits.

The Invisible Advantage: TQ HPR60 Motor

Most e-bikes look and sound like, well, e-bikes. The Checkpoint+ is different. The TQ harmonic pinring motor is tucked so neatly into the bottom bracket that most people won't even know it's there. It delivers 50Nm of torque that feels entirely natural—it doesn't surge or lurch; it just makes you feel like the strongest version of yourself on every climb.

Electronic Precision: SRAM GX AXS Transmission

When you’re deep in the Alberta backcountry, you need gear that just works. The 12-speed SRAM GX AXS wireless drivetrain is built for the grit. It provides crisp, clean shifts even when the motor is under load or the cassette is covered in Red Deer River valley mud. No cables to stretch, no housing to gunk up—just perfect shifting, every time.

The WeLive Breakdown:

• The Frame: 500 Series OCLV Carbon. It’s light, dampens road vibration, and features internal cable routing for a sleek, bag-ready setup.
• The Range: The internal 360Wh battery is optimized for long hauls, but if you're planning a massive day, it’s compatible with the TQ Range Extender for those "just one more ridge" moments.
• The "Dirty" Tech: Massive tire clearance allows you to run beefy gravel rubber for maximum traction on loose surfaces.
• The Utility: Integrated mounts for fenders, racks, and the Checkpoint-specific frame bag system.

The WeLive Advantage:

A bike this advanced deserves an "Alberta-Ready" setup. When you pick up your Checkpoint+ from WeLive in Gasoline Alley, we make sure the technology matches the terrain:
✅ Digital Tuning: We’ll help you pair your SRAM AXS app and customize your TQ motor assist levels so you get the exact range vs. power balance you need.
✅ Backcountry Prep: We ensure your tubeless setup is rock-solid and your firmware is up to date before you hit the gravel.
✅ Ongoing Support: From battery health checks to drivetrain tuning, our certified techs are here to keep your "virtual tailwind" blowing strong.
