help REP Black Bumper Plates FAQ
What are REP Black Bumper Plates made of?
REP Black Bumper Plates feature a steel interior ring surrounded by an outer layer of high-density polyurethane. This specific construction allows the plates to absorb impact during heavy Olympic lifting.
Do REP Black Bumper Plates reduce noise compared to traditional iron weights?
Yes, the high-density polyurethane bumper core is specifically designed to absorb impact and significantly reduce noise. They are much quieter and safer to drop on a lifting platform than traditional cast iron plates.
Can REP Black Bumper Plates be used outside on concrete?
While they are highly durable, it is generally not recommended to repeatedly drop bumper plates on bare concrete or abrasive outdoor surfaces. Doing so can degrade the polyurethane shell over time and void the warranty.
Do REP Black Bumper Plates fit on standard 1-inch barbells?
No, these plates are manufactured with a 2-inch Olympic center hole designed specifically for Olympic barbells. They will not fit on standard 1-inch barbells unless you use a specialized adapter sleeve.
