260 lb Bumper Plate SetBumper Plates Set Vulcan Bumper Plates are built to endure the rigors of Olympic Weightlifting and cross-training fitness workouts. Unlike lower priced brands, our Bumper Plates are made of a harder and denser rubber compound. As a result, our Bumper Plates have a much thinner profile and more plates can be fit on the bar . Others claim to have equivalent rubber hardness, but their 10 lb and 15 lb bumper plates "waffle" easily when dropped. The typical Bumper Plate has a thin pressed steel insert which will come out over time with repeated droppings. Our inserts are forged solid steel and anchored into the plate. We were the first to introduce this technology in 2010 and we still have many gyms using the original Vulcan bumper plates to this day. One of the things you will immediately notice when lifting our bumper plates is how snugly they fit together on the bar as well as the dead blow/low bounce effect they exhibit when dropped. It's a very noticeable sound compared to the clanking rattling noise and basketball-like rebounding you will experience with lesser brands.Bumper Plates Set Specifications: Made to IWF (International Weightlifting Federation) Standard diameter 450mm (17.7165 inch).; Solid Rubber Bumper Plates made from virgin rubber not recycled rubber.; Low bounce for safety; Safe for platform use; Vulcan Bumper Plates have been tested to 30,000 drops from a height of 9 feet without any deformation of the insert or damage to the rubber surface.; Shore Durometer A 88.7 - 89.1 What is Shore Durometer?

The bumpers appear to be very well made. The have low bounce when dropped and work great for my home gym.

These Vulcan bumpers are pristine, arrived with not a mar or imperfection. They have an awesome dead bounce, much better to the crumbed bumpers. the price was right and the order shipped and arrived quickly. Thanks!

First i had done a lot of research before purchasing my first set of bumper plates i ended up on Vulcan brand coz i read good reviews in the internet about it. They came like after a month coz they were out of stock of the 45 lbs. i was really amazed how great this bumper plates are, they were really well built with smooth finish. The odor of the rubber wasnt bad at all and i know it will gone after few day/weeks. They were free shipping through fedex freight and the guy who delivered it has able to unload it for me and brought it infront of our house. All in all i am happy with my purchased it just taken so long to be delivered.

I purchased the 13MM Vulcan Power Lifting Belt last year and was thoroughly satisfied with the quality, value and delivery. So, when it was time to purchase additional bumpers, I came back to Vulcan and bought the 260 Lb black set. Once again, I am thoroughly satisfied with my order and delivery, I like the almost dead bounce when dropped. Thank you all at Vulcan for your service and keep those quality products coming.

Excellent product! I was surprised at how much narrower the Vulcan's were, compared to products like Rogue. And they are a little slick when they are new out of the box, so being a little narrower its harder to move around but I'm sure that will pass. There is ZERO BOUNCE when you drop the weights. Excellent product for the price; will definitely be purchasing another set one day.

Purchased these for my garage box and they far exceeded my expectations. Very hard and little bounce when dropped and the price with shipping can't be beaten. Great set!

My 260lbs set came promptly as mentioned in the order, each plates were in a box wrap in a foam sheet, low odor of rubber. Tried each plates to see if they all fit the bar correctly and put the 45 to check the bounce. Smooth fitting and very low bounce. I recommend Vulcan bumper plates, best quality/price ratio.
