The American Barbell Textured Black Sport Bumper Plates are an excellent choice for weightlifters that demand high performance and durability. They are made with high-density rubber, reinforced steel and feature a textured finish for improved durability and grip. The black color is designed to reduce the visibility of marks and scratches, helping to maintain the plates' good looks over repeated use. The plates are also designed to be functional, featuring a low bounce and high capacity. The steel insert is machined to fit Olympic bars with a 50.4mm diameter sleeve. The wide range of weights (from 2.5 to 55) gives weightlifters great flexibility while they work out, and all the weights meet the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) color standard, so you can be sure you are getting the right amount of weight on the lift. Additionally, these plates are very easy to clean and maintain, so users can maintain the look of the bumper plate for a long time. The American Barbell Textured Black Sport Bumper Plates are an excellent choice for serious weightlifters, offering both excellent performance and an attractive finish.
