PU BUMPER PLATE - Polyurethane Bumper Plates, standard IWF colours
Composed of sizes 5; 10; 15; 20; 25 kg, coloured according to the IWF standard, this bumper line is made from polyurethane-coated metal discs.
As already mentioned, polyurethane can be considered the best material for producing discs. Extremely high strength, extraordinary compactness, low rebound, no odour, clear colouring, absence of imperfections and mould marks, perfect coupling with the steel plate, PU discs represent the best possible solution in terms of reliability, aesthetics and overall quality.
The wear and light degradation of polyurethane is significantly lower than that of rubber.
In addition, due to the high density of the material, PU discs have a very low thickness, which allows a barbell over 350 kg to be loaded, almost as if it were a metal disc, but with the advantage of a softer bearing.
However, the lower elastic deformation compared to rubber can also be considered a limitation for those who prefer softer, bouncier bumpers.
As you can see in the image below, in the same loading space (we examined the 9015/9 Olympic barbell), using the classic rubber bumpers with a very wide shoulder (approx. 93.5 mm) it is possible to load 4 of 25 kg, reaching a total weight including the barbell of 220 kg, while using the PU bumpers with a narrower shoulder (approx. 51 mm) it is possible to load 7 of 25 kg, reaching a total weight of 370 kg!

From this perspective, typical of powerlifting, PU bumpers can be considered better than even the thinnest metal discs.
The POLYURETHANE cover in fact consumes less weight on the stacking platform and makes the disc much more versatile and suitable for other uses in the weight room.
For aesthetic reasons PU Bumper Plates are also available in single-colour black with white logos and numbers.
