Competition bumper plates don’t just look amazing, they also out perform solid black bumpers in a few ways:

Minimal Bounce
The harder the material gets, the less bounce it will have. Minimal bounce is ideal as it prevents excess damage to the bar and minimal shock to the plates, potential safety problems from over bounce and makes for a faster transition between reps.

Raised Flanges
A raised rubber surface can be seen around the metal core. This is to prevent direct metal-on-metal contact between the centre discs. This reduces scuffing and helps to preserve the plates’ finish.

Vibrant colours
Coloured bumpers are not just aesthetically pleasing, they offer additional functionality. It can often be frustrating trying to quickly and easily identify the plates you need for your workout.

Galvanized
Four-piece assembly with a co-molded steel collar won’t spin or break from the rubber and uses an innovative method to securely lock the bolts in place, safeguarding against their loosening over time.
