TECTORA BikeProtection XC MTB Frame Protection Film – STEK PPF Paint Protection for SPECIALIZED / S-WORKS EPIC 9

Your SPECIALIZED / S-WORKS EPIC 9 is built to go fast — our custom-fit STEK PPF frame protection film keeps rock chips, scratches, and cable rub off your carbon frame, so it stays race-ready through every training session and every season.

Fitment & Compatibility

This kit was precision digital-designed and tested for:

  • Model: SPECIALIZED / S-WORKS EPIC 9 frame (from 2026)
  • Material: Carbon frame
  • Sizes: Available for M and L

Coverage & Protection Zones (17-piece kit)

Complete frame protection, tailored to the specific high-wear zones of a modern XC race bike. The kit protects:

  • Impact zones: Down tube & bottom bracket area — where trail grit and rock chips hit most.
  • Frame structure: Top tube, head tube & seat tube.
  • Rear triangle: Chain stays & seat stays — protection against chain slap, trail grit, and mud spray.
  • Cable rub protection: Precision-cut pieces covering cable-entry points and high-contact areas exposed to constant friction.

Pro Installation Tips

  • Preparation: Remove the bottle cage and wheels — for full access to every area.
  • Positioning: Always work wet. Leave approx. 3 mm gaps between pieces.
  • Bonding: Use a hair dryer on edges and curves to fully activate the adhesive.
  • Important: Do not wash the bike for at least 7 days after installation — the adhesive needs time to fully cure.

XC Install Tip: Focus on cable-entry points and tight curves

On XC frames, take extra care around cable-entry points and tight curves — perfect alignment here keeps edges invisible and long-lasting.

Technical Specifications

Film Material

We exclusively use STEK PPF — a premium thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) from American manufacturer STEK. Engineered for long-distance XC performance — lightweight, crystal-clear, and built to last through high-mileage racing seasons.

Film Thickness

208 microns — thin enough to stay invisible on a race bike, tough enough to handle trail grit, dust, and constant debris spray.

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, dust, and water bead off reliably — making post-ride maintenance faster so you stay focused on performance.

Warranty

10-year manufacturer warranty against yellowing and cracking.

Questions & Answers

What is better for the SPECIALIZED EPIC 9 frame – PPF film or classic rubber frame guards?

It depends on the area – rubber belongs under the chain, that is standard. For the rest of the frame, PPF film clearly wins. While rubber guards ruin the look and only protect small spots, our STEK film wraps around the entire frame like an invisible skin. It protects the down tube, rear triangle and cable zones – without lifting at the edges or collecting dirt.
How does PPF film protect the SPECIALIZED EPIC 9 carbon frame during transport to races?

Transport is one of the most common causes of damage on XC race bikes – straps on roof racks, contact in a bike bag or a knock in the team van. Our STEK PPF acts as a permanent shield on the carbon frame. It absorbs typical transport scratches before they reach the paint – so your SPECIALIZED EPIC 8 arrives at the start line in the same condition it left home.
Will the PPF film on the SPECIALIZED EPIC 9 be visible or change the look of the frame?

Not at all – we offer two variants to match your frame perfectly. The gloss variant is crystal clear and maintains the original shine of the frame – the result is a Factory-Look barely noticeable to the naked eye. The matte variant preserves the matte finish without any change in texture. Both variants use precision laser-cut pieces that end exactly at the tube transitions.

How to apply your SPECIALIZED / S-WORKS EPIC 9 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.
