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?

I ordered direct from Vulcan vs Wayfair this time and their service was amazing. I felt like I was important to them and I didn't have a huge order. Compare that to another unnamed competitor of crossfit equipment in Boston who lost my business for being consistently late and I am now a huge vulcan supporter.

I am loving the sets of bumper plates, the only thing I wasn't too fond of was the rubber smell but after a few weeks and a wipe down, it has gone away. I will definitely be purchasing more as I start going up in weight.

I ordered the 260# bumper plate set on the recommendation of an online review between 5 different companies, including some pretty well known names in CrossFit. I was sold on three things: the collar being part of the plate, the 10# and 15# plates being solid, and the fact that you have 55# plates to purchase down the road. I have worked out a few times with these plates and am very happy with their quality.

Really like the bumper plates. I shopped high and low and choose these. Very happy. Customer service is top notch. I placed my order they shipped the next day or so and I have my gear before I knew it. Will order from them again.
