Description
- Set Configuration: Sold as a 10lb pair.
- Plate Type: Bumper Plates, 2″ Olympic.
- Key Features: Engineered with a thicker profile and a hook-locking steel insert to prevent “taco-ing” and bending when dropped.
- HGM take: Standard 10lb bumper plates are notoriously flimsy and can bend or “taco” when dropped by themselves on a bar. You’re not supposed to drop a barbell loaded only with 10lb plates. Fringe Sport solved this problem with a brilliant, purpose-built design that makes their 10lb plates famously durable; that said, all their bumpers are excellent. We have no affiliation with Fringe Sport, but they’ve brought something original and fantastic to the market, and are rightly proud of it; the right thing for us to do is refer users to their bumper plates.
Weight plates are by far the easiest category to screw up and blow your budget. Check out our Weight Plate guide to avoid the common pitfalls.
