Fringe Sport MilSpec Bumper Plates

Virgin rubber is more durable and resilient than recycled rubber. It resists cracking and deformation over time, which is critical for plates that will be dropped repeatedly during Olympic lifts or CrossFit workouts.

With a durometer rating of 85 sHA, these plates are designed for a controlled, low bounce. They absorb impact effectively, which helps protect your barbell and gym floor while keeping the plates from rolling away excessively.

Yes, these plates feature a 2-inch center hole, which is the industry standard for Olympic barbells. The stainless steel insert ensures a smooth fit that won't damage your bar sleeves over time.

Absolutely. Their high-density construction and controlled bounce make them quieter and safer for home environments where you might be lifting on concrete or rubber mats. Just ensure you have enough clearance for the 17.7-inch diameter.

This tolerance level means the plates are manufactured to be extremely precise, weighing within 1% of their stated 35 lbs. This consistency is important for tracking progress accurately, especially when you are lifting near your personal maximums.

A three-year warranty is quite robust for bumper plates, reflecting Fringe Sport's confidence in the durability of their virgin rubber and stainless steel construction. It covers defects in materials and workmanship, offering peace of mind for heavy, long-term use.
