If you can only have one bike, the Trek Checkpoint SL6 eTap is a serious contender. It’s the kind of bike that just works. You can upgrade it if you want to but you don’t need to. There are mounts for mudguards and bags, and with only a tyre change it...

Pros
  1. +SRAM Rival AXS is the perfect groupset for an all-arounder
  2. +Mud-guard mounts
  3. +Mounting points for every bag you can think of
  4. +Non-proprietary seat-post provides options
  5. +Internal storage is convenient
  6. +Downtube protection eases worry
  7. +Threaded bottom bracket
  8. +Ideal all-around gearing
Cons
  1. -Short stem for added stability means handlebar/knee interference
  2. -Lacks included protection for the chain stay
  3. -Detail behind the fork steerer collects water and is difficult to clean

VERDICT: Neat tricks combined with smart design equals good fun. The Checkpoint SL is the sweetspot in Trek's gravel range
