Bumper plates fully rubberized | Colored

Yes — that is exactly what bumper plates are made for. The solid rubber coating absorbs the impact, protects the floor and the barbell, and reduces the noise. This allows you to drop the loaded barbell in a controlled manner from the overhead position during deadlifts and Olympic lifts.

The price is per piece (from CHF 25). For even loading of the barbell, you need each plate twice — simply set the quantity above to 2, 4, or more.

Yes, if your bar has a 50 mm sleeve. The stainless steel inner ring with a 51 mm hole diameter fits securely on all standard Olympic 50 mm barbells and curl bars. They are not suitable for 30 mm bars.

Five levels, each color-coded: 5 kg gray, 10 kg green, 15 kg yellow, 20 kg blue, and 25 kg red. This allows you to recognize the weight immediately by its color — practical for quick changes during workouts. The thickness increases with the weight, from 25 mm for 5 kg to 95 mm for 25 kg.

Yes. All weights have a uniform outer diameter of 45 cm—meaning the barbell is always at the same standard height regardless of the weight. This is important so you can perform floor-based exercises like deadlifts cleanly and consistently.

Technically, both are solid rubber and drop-resistant. These colored plates show the weight at a glance through their color — ideal for quick changing and for gyms. The black version focuses on a clean, consistent appearance.

These colored plates are the color-coded standard for training. The HiTemp are the particularly robust, affordable all-rounders that black the simple version, and the Urethane competition the IWF-compliant, odorless, and particularly slim choice for competition training.

Bumper plates are fully rubberized and drop-resistant—you can drop the loaded barbell in a controlled manner. Cast iron dumbbell plates are more compact and cheaper, but not meant for dropping. For Olympic lifting, CrossFit, and deadlifts, you use bumper plates; for machines and bench pressing, cast iron plates are enough.

Bumper plates absorb the impact on their own, but for heavy, repeated dropping, a drop zone is recommended. Ideally, a Weight Lifting Platform or a robust one Connect+ Floor — this protects the underbody and bumper and keeps the noise down.

Best of all standing on a ring cone — that keeps them sorted, ready to hand and protects the rings. Fitting is the bumper plate rack. This way the plates do not lie flat on the floor and you can find every weight immediately.
