gravel bike protection SPECIALIZED / S-WORKS CRUX – Frame Protection Kit – STEK PPF

TECTORA BikeProtection Gravel Frame Protection Film – STEK PPF Paint Protection for SPECIALIZED / S-WORKS CRUX

Asphalt, gravel, mud — your SPECIALIZED / S-WORKS CRUX takes it all. Our custom-fit STEK PPF frame protection film makes sure your carbon frame looks as good as your adventure feels — ride after ride, season after season.

Fitment & Compatibility

This kit was precision digital-designed and tested for:

• Model: SPECIALIZED / S-WORKS CRUX frame (from 2023)
• Material: Carbon frame
• Sizes: Available for 52, 54, 56 and 58

Coverage & Protection Zones (14-piece kit incl. fork)

Targeted protection for the typical weak points of a gravel bike — built for mixed terrain and long days in the saddle. The kit protects:

• Impact zones: Down tube & bottom bracket area — protection against rock strikes and gravel impacts.
• Frame structure: Top tube, head tube & seat tube.
• Rear triangle: Chain stays & seat stays — protection against mud, gravel, and shoe contact abrasion.
• Cable rub protection: Precision-cut pieces covering critical areas exposed to brake and gear cable abrasion.

Pro Installation Tips

• Preparation: Remove the bottle cages and wheels — for clean access to every edge.
• Positioning: Always work wet. Leave approx. 3 mm gaps between pieces.
• Bonding: Use a hair dryer on edges — especially around contact and bikepacking attachment zones.
• Important: Do not wash the bike for at least 7 days after installation — the adhesive needs time to fully cure.

Gravel Install Tip: Extra care on bikepacking attachment zones

On gravel bikes, a lot of damage comes from frame bag attachment points and strap friction — take extra time here for alignment and edges for a clean, long-lasting finish.

Technical Specifications

Film Material

We exclusively use STEK PPF — a premium thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) from American manufacturer STEK. Robust, flexible, and engineered for hard mixed-terrain use on gravel routes.

Film Thickness

208 microns — strong enough for gravel and rough terrain, flexible enough for a precise fit on complex gravel frame geometries.

Self-Healing Properties

The elastic top layer regenerates itself with heat. Swirl marks and light scratches disappear with sunlight, warm water, or a hair dryer — effortlessly.

Nano-Ceramic Coating

Factory-applied nano-coating with Lotus Effect: mud and water bead off reliably — keeping your frame clean even after the muddiest gravel adventure.

Warranty

10-year manufacturer warranty against yellowing and cracking.

Accessories & Frame Protection for your SPECIALIZED / S-WORKS CRUX

A gravel bike like the SPECIALIZED / S-WORKS CRUX is built for adventure — long-distance touring, rough terrain, bikepacking. A precision-fit frame protection film protects your carbon frame exactly where no other accessory reaches — against gravel spray, abrasion, and transport scratches.

What makes this kit essential:

• Gravel chip protection: Absorbs impacts on the down tube — gravel strikes hit significantly more often than on asphalt.
• Bikepacking protection: Prevents abrasion from frame bags and attachment points — unique to gravel riding.
• Resale value: An undamaged carbon frame holds its value — a scratched one does not.

Film Quality & Material – STEK PPF

Our gravel bike frame protection film for the SPECIALIZED / S-WORKS CRUX was developed specifically for this frame — every curve, every edge, every bikepacking contact point fits perfectly. Transparent, self-healing, and tough enough for every gravel adventure.

This bike frame PPF is engineered specifically for carbon gravel and adventure bike frames — not a generic wrap, but a model-specific protection solution built for mixed-terrain riding and long-distance touring.

We trust STEK PPF — one of the most reliable paint protection films from the USA — for long-lasting protection that holds up through thousands of gravel kilometres.

Your bike. Your adventure. Stay protected.
