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?

Couldn't be happier! Shipping was super fast, the price was better than at a local store, and the quality of these bumper plates is the same as the brand we use at my Crossfit box. Thank you!

Excellent Product from a Fantastic company that gets it (customer service). I am extremely satisfied with my Vulcan Bumper plates, and all around ordering experience. I ordered the plates from Vulcan after reading great reviews on the plates in several forums and Vulcan also had the best price. I ordered the plates when they were on backorder and Vulcan worked with me every step of the way to get them to me as quick as possible. In the future, Vulcan will be my go to source for equipment.
