TECTORA BikeProtection Gravel Frame Protection Film – STEK PPF Paint Protection for TREK CHECKMATE SLR
Asphalt, gravel, mud — your TREK CHECKMATE SLR 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: TREK CHECKMATE SLR frame Gen 1 (from 2025)
-
Material: Carbon frame
-
Sizes: Available for M and ML
Coverage & Protection Zones
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 TREK CHECKMATE SLR
A gravel bike like the TREK CHECKMATE SLR 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 TREK CHECKMATE SLR 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.
