Google "Trek Checkpoint" and some things will show up. Looks like a larger tyre clearance Domane without the front ISO and with a semidropped chainstay

Already got 1 in at my lbs.
Lower end alu version in a Matt grey with mirror decals, with tiagra 10 and hydro brakes.
32mm schwalbe one tyres on tlr rims,with room for up to 40mm.
Mudguard and rack eyes front and rear.
No isospeed on this model, and geo looks like “domane plus”.
Looks a great buy at around £1500
Officially available in March.

Interesting. Adjustable effective chainstay length. And no isospeed up front. Personally I kind of hope they let the front end iso speed just die a quiet death. One of those downsides outweigh the upsides situations imo.
I should know this, but I don’t... What’s the rationale behind the drive side chainstay dropping way down as it leaves the BB then taking an abrupt change in direction back up towards the rear axle?

Tyre clearance. It means that the chainstay isn't sandwiched in between the chainrings and the tyre at the same spot, so you can have more space on the inside without ending up with a paper thin stay.
(And less chain slap.)
We got a few of them in. ALR's and some SL's. I'll try to get them on a scale. IMO to many mounts. I dont need 4 bottle mounts, TT mount, rack mounts, fork mounts. They want it to do everything i guess. Holes everywhere. ALR and SL is avalable as a frameset.
