PREMIUM LOW-ODOR "OG" BLACK BUMPER PLATES

Our "OG" Black Bumper Plates – short for original – are the very first version of the Fringe Sport bumper plates you know and love. Made from the same high-quality, 100% virgin rubber that’s completely odor-free, they deliver the durability, performance, and sleek look serious lifters demand. 

The only difference between our OG black bumper plates and our standard plates? They're just a bit wider. That’s it. Same premium rubber, same hooked steel insert, same raised, long-lasting lettering, and same black-on-black finish that looks sharp in any gym setup. The slightly wider width doesn't affect performance – these are still elite-level bumper plates built to withstand heavy drops, intense training, and years of abuse.

Crafted from 100% premium virgin rubber, these bumper plates are quiet and safe to drop on your floors. These Bumper Plates feature a slim profile for a more premium look. The slimmer profile also allows you to fit more weight on the bar.

RAISED LETTERING

Raised lettering is more durable than painted or printed markings. Over time, painted markings on plates can wear off, making it challenging to identify the weight. Raised lettering is less prone to this issue, ensuring that you can continue to use your plates effectively for years. It also gives the plates a more polished and professional appearance.

DURABLE HOOKED STEEL INSERTS

The hooked design distributes stress more evenly across the plate, which helps prevent cracking, chipping, or deformation of the rubber coating. Hooked steel inserts often produce less noise and vibration when dropped compared to plates with regular circular inserts. The secure connection between the hook and the rubber dampens the impact and reduces the rattling or clanging noise associated with weightlifting movements.


LOW ODOR

Our Black Bumper Plates are made from 100% virgin rubber which is sourced from new rubber materials, which means it contains fewer impurities, contaminants, and foreign substances compared to recycled rubber. These impurities can contribute to the strong rubber smell often associated with recycled rubber bumper plates, but are eliminated with 100% virgin rubber bumper plates.

85 sHA

Durometer is a measure of the hardness of a material. It ranges from 0-100, and the higher the rating the harder the material, and the higher the material's resistance to indentation. Anything above 65 is acceptable for bumper plates. Our plates are considered to be excellent.

A bumper plate is a weight plate for Olympic bars that is made almost entirely of rubber (with a steel or brass collar in the middle that accepts an Olympic bar).

The "end state" of the Olympic lifts is overhead or at the shoulder. Many lifters drop the weights from overhead. Since bumper plates are almost entirely rubber, being dumped from the shoulder or overhead will not damage the weights, bar, floor, bystanders, the lifter, etc...

Bumper plates are also great for garage gym use- the rubber construction is much quieter than traditional metal construction.

In general, the lighter bumper plates have a higher durometer reading because they need to be more rigid to withstand the stress of being dropped. Heavier plates have more surface area to distribute the stress, so they do not need to be as hard.

WHY CHOOSE FRINGE SPORT BUMPER PLATES?

Not all bumpers are created equal. Here's why your next bumper plates should be Fringe Sport bumpers:

  1. Fringe Sport bumper plates feature a steel insert that is designed to far outperform the brass inserts commonly used in other bumper plates. A steel insert will take much more abuse without malforming, and it is machined to exact tolerances to fit all high-quality Olympic bars.
  2. Fringe Sport bumpers use a rubber formulation that combines the ideal mix of low bounce with high durability. Some bumper plates bounce too much, and that makes them potentially unsafe. Other bumpers are too brittle, and they easily chip and fall apart. Our black bumper plates are built to withstand drops from any height, and stay where they’re dropped instead of bouncing away.
  3. Fringe Sport bumpers are more stable than our competitors because they have high density. This makes our 10lb and 15lb them more stable than other bumpers on the market.
  4. Fringe Sport bumpers are thinner and denser than typical bumper plates, and that means more weight on your barbell, and ultimately more gainz.
  5. Fringe Sport bumpers all have the same standard diameter. You can mix and match plates to load your bar.
  6. Finally, Fringe Sport bumper plates are backed by our no-questions-asked satisfaction guarantee, plus a 1-year warranty from the manufacturer. Use them and love them or send them back.
