TECTORA BikeProtection Road Bike Frame Protection Film – STEK PPF Paint Protection for CERVÉLO S5

Your CERVÉLO S5 deserves protection as precise as the bike itself. Our custom-fit STEK PPF paint protection film shields your carbon frame against cable rub, transport scratches, and rock chips — invisible, lightweight, and built to last.

Fitment & Compatibility

This kit was precision digital-designed and tested for:

  • Model: CERVÉLO S5 frame (from 2023)
  • Material: Carbon frame
  • Sizes: Available for 54

Coverage & Protection Zones (kit incl. fork)

Targeted protection for the typical weak points of a road bike — optimised for a clean, factory finish. The kit protects:

  • Impact zones: Down tube & front triangle — rock chip protection at 50+ km/h.
  • Frame structure: Top tube, head tube & seat tube.
  • Fork: Dedicated fork coverage — often overlooked, often damaged.
  • 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 cable and strap zones.
  • Important: Do not wash the bike for at least 7 days after installation — the adhesive needs time to fully cure.

Road Install Tip: Take extra care on cable and strap zones

On road bikes, most damage comes from cable rub and transport straps — take extra time on alignment and edges here for a truly invisible finish.

What's Included – Full-Frame Set incl. Fork

Everything you need for a clean home installation — no professional required:

  1. Pre-cut protection film: 100% precision fit — no cutting on the paint required.
  2. Application fluid: Spray bottle with Slip Solution — just add water.
  3. Pro squeegee: For a bubble-free, smooth surface.
  4. Microfiber cloth: For pre-installation cleaning and final finish.
  5. Step-by-step instructions: Clear and easy to follow — perfect for first-time installers.

Technical Specifications

Film Material

We exclusively use STEK PPF — a premium thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) from American manufacturer STEK. Ultra-lightweight, crystal-clear, and engineered specifically for high-performance carbon road frames.

Film Thickness

208 microns — thin enough for a near-invisible factory look with deep gloss, strong enough for reliable protection in all weather and road conditions.

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 — making post-ride cleaning significantly faster.

Warranty

10-year manufacturer warranty against yellowing and cracking.

Accessories & Frame Protection for your CERVÉLO S5

A road bike at the level of the CERVÉLO S5 is a serious investment — and it deserves serious protection. Before pedals, computer mounts, or bottle cages, your carbon frame needs the right base protection exactly where no other accessory reaches.

What makes this kit essential:

  • Cable rub protection: Prevents the most common road bike damage — paint wear at cable-routing points.
  • Transport safety: No more scratches from transport straps, roof racks, or bike boxes.
  • Rock chip protection: Shields the front triangle and fork from impacts at high speed.
  • Resale value: An undamaged carbon frame holds its value — a scratched one does not.

Film Quality & Material – STEK PPF

Our road bike frame protection film for the CERVÉLO S5 was developed specifically for this frame — every curve, every cable zone, every edge fits perfectly. Transparent, self-healing, and so precisely cut that the film is virtually invisible once installed.

This bike frame PPF is engineered specifically for carbon road and race bike frames — not a generic wrap, but a model-specific protection solution built for speed, precision, and long-term aesthetics.

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 road kilometres.

The best protection is the one you never see — but feel every single day. Ride strong. Stay protected.

Questions & Answers

Is PPF film on the CERVÉLO S5 really necessary? Or does a carbon road bike frame not need any protection?

The carbon frame needs protection every day — not just in crashes. Cable rub leaves deep grooves directly on the carbon, transport scratches accumulate after every ride, and gravel chips at speed cannot be removed. STEK PPF covers the entire frame like an invisible skin — without changing the look or aerodynamics.
How long does PPF film last on the carbon frame of the CERVÉLO S5 — and does it hold up in all weather conditions?

Our STEK PPF carries a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee against yellowing and cracking. The self-healing top layer eliminates minor scratches and swirls with heat, the nanocoating repels water and mud after every ride. Result: the frame stays looking like new — ride after ride, season after season.
Will removing the PPF film damage the carbon frame of the CERVÉLO S5?

No. STEK PPF uses a pressure-sensitive adhesive that is completely safe for carbon frames. Remove slowly with gentle heat from a hair dryer — no residue, no damage to paint or carbon. There is no risk of delamination or paint lifting if you follow the correct removal process.

How to apply your CERVÉLO S5 Frame Protection Kit

Instructions

Clean and dry the bike thoroughly, then remove the bottle cage and wheels for better access. Degrease all installation areas with isopropyl alcohol and work in a clean space at 18–25 °C. Lay out and dry-fit each piece to confirm alignment before peeling the backing. Start with the top tube, continue around the head tube, then install the down tube. Apply section by section, smooth toward the edges, avoid overstretching, and leave about a 3 mm gap between separate pieces. Allow 1.5–4 hours for a complete install.
