Respro Reflective Sticker Kit: the current position

The current Respro kit is supplied on an A4 sheet and marketed for cycle, motorcycle and other solid surfaces. Its product page confirms present stock and the current broad material description.

No sticker makes a rider automatically visible. Contrast, angle, weather, obstruction and the other road user's lights all influence whether reflective material is seen.

  • Current in-stock Respro kit
  • A4 self-adhesive sheet
  • Reflective and day-glow elements
  • Customisable hard-surface application
  • Works alongside active lights

What has changed

The old Plain Ultra name and sheet arrangement should not be used to predict today's contents. The live kit is the current purchasing reference.

The safe application principles remain: prepare the surface, avoid safety-critical areas and do not use an adhesive on a helmet without the helmet maker's approval.

How it works and who it suits

Use small shapes to add side and rear detail without covering the bicycle's required reflectors or lights. Curved, textured and flexible surfaces may not hold an ordinary sticker well.

Keep the material clean, check adhesion after rain and remove loose pieces before they can reach a brake or wheel.

Checks before buying

Colours, materials, fittings and included accessories can change during a product's sales life. Check the exact current listing and retain the maker's instructions.

  • Check the maker's current dimensions and compatibility information
  • Compare the exact current product rather than an old review score or price
  • Confirm warranty, spares and returns before ordering
  • Inspect safety-critical fittings regularly once the product is in use

Care, use and replacement

Follow the current maker's instructions for cleaning, adjustment and storage. Dirt, ultraviolet light, sweat and repeated wet use can shorten the life of fabrics, coatings and fittings.

Stop using equipment when a structural attachment, lock, light mount or load-bearing part is damaged. Replacement parts must match the exact generation rather than merely sharing a product-family name.
