PU BUMPER PLATE – Bumper plates in Polyurethane, black colour
Composed of the sizes 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 Kg, black colour, this line of Bumper plates is made through metal discs covered in polyurethane. Polyurethane is the best material for making discs; main flaw is given by the high cost compared to rubber, especially the recycled one. Very high resistance, extraordinary compactness, reduced rebound, no smell, clear colours, absence of imperfections and marks due to the mould, perfect coupling with the steel plate, the PU discs represent the best possible solution in terms of reliability, aesthetics and quality general. The wear and light degradation of polyurethane is significantly lower than that of rubber.
Furthermore, thanks to the high density of the material, the PU discs have a very reduced thickness, which allows you to load a barbell over 350 kg, almost as if they were metal discs, but with the advantage of having a softer support . However, the lower elastic deformation compared to rubber can also be considered a limit for those who prefer softer and more bouncy bumpers.
As it is possible to verify in the image below, in the same loading space (we have examined the balance wheel 9015/9 – Olympic Barbell ) using the classic Rubber Bumpers which have a very wide shoulder (about 93.5mm) it is possible to load 4 of 25Kg, reaching a total weight including the barbell of 220Kg, while using the PU bumpers which have a narrower shoulder (about 51mm ) you can load 7 of them, reaching a total weight of 370Kg!
From this perspective, typical of powerlifting, i PU bumpers they can be considered better than even the thinnest metal discs.
The coverage in POLYURETHANE in fact wears out the deadlift platform less and makes the drive a lot more versatile and also suitable for other uses in the weight room.
