Xpeed Bumper Plate
Xpeed Bumper Plates
The Xpeed Bumper Plates are made of thick, dense rubber. Allowing loaded Olympic bars to be dropped safely without risk of damaging your platforms, the floor of your gym or the plates themselves.
Furthermore, the compact width and higher plate density means you can fit more weight onto the bar whilst experiencing limited bounce. Above all a smooth finish and stylish markings on the plates means the sizes are easily recognisable from a distance.
These plates are designed for Olympic Barbells.

What's the difference between Bumper Plates and Rubber Olympic Plates?
Bumper Plates and Rubber Olympic Plates are fundamental tools used in weightlifting and strength training, each offering unique features and benefits:
Material Composition:
- Bumper Plates: Constructed from dense rubber with a metal collar, bumper plates excel in absorbing high-impact drops, particularly in Olympic weightlifting movements like the snatch and clean and jerk.
- Rubber Olympic Plates: Rubber Olympic plates typically feature cast iron cores coated in low-odour rubber. They offer durability and versatility, often equipped with stainless steel inserts to protect both the barbell and machine sleeves, while the rubber coating prevents rust and reduces noise during use.
Design Features
- Bumper Plates: Designed for uniformity, bumper plates offer consistent thickness and diameter across different weights, essential for maintaining barbell height during lifts. As well as featuring standardised colour specific identification.
- Rubber Olympic Plates: These plates often feature grooved handles, an ergonomic grip design, and rounded edges, facilitating easy handling and manoeuvrability. This design versatility extends their usability beyond the barbell to various strength training exercises.
Purpose and Versatility:
- Bumper Plates: Primarily tailored for Olympic weightlifting movements requiring high-impact drops, bumper plates are favored by athletes focused on perfecting their technique in explosive lifts.
- Rubber Olympic Plates: With their durable construction and versatile design, rubber Olympic plates are suitable for a wide array of strength training exercises, accommodating different fitness goals and exercise routines. From basic lifts to functional movements, they offer flexibility and adaptability for users of all levels.
Price and Value:
- Bumper Plates: Due to their specialised construction and targeted use in Olympic weightlifting, bumper plates typically come at a higher price point.
- Rubber Olympic Plates: Offering durability, versatility, and value for money, rubber Olympic plates provide an affordable yet high-quality option for home gyms, commercial setups, and fitness enthusiasts seeking reliable equipment for their training needs.
In summary, while both Bumper Plates and Rubber Olympic Plates play crucial roles in strength training, their differences in design, purpose, and price cater to your different training needs.
Can bumper plates be used on any barbell?
Bumper plates are designed to be used on 'Olympic' sized barbells, which have a 50mm diameter sleeve diameter. While they can technically fit on other barbells, it's recommended to use them with Olympic bars for optimal performance and safety.
Are bumper plates safe for dropping?
Yes, bumper plates are specifically designed to be dropped from overhead safely. However, proper technique and caution should always be practiced to minimise the risk of injury to yourself and damage to the equipment.
How do I store bumper plates?
Bumper plates should be stored in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Vertical plate storage racks or plate trees are commonly used to keep bumper plates organised and easily accessible.
