Polyurethane Bumper Plates are quickly becoming the perfect investment for home gyms and commercial spaces due to their significant advantages over traditional Rubber Bumpers. Compared to rubber, polyurethane has a higher density and durometer rating (90) which means it has superior impact resistance which causes an ideal ‘dead bounce’ on appropriate flooring.

Testimonial

Michael Pang (Owner of Crossfit Aphesis) Box owner, Head coach, Certified Olympic lifting Instructor

With over a decade's worth of experience in Weightlifting, we have tried and tested many bumper plates, from IWF Olympic Games Quality to generic bumpers found most often at your local CrossFit Box. We've hammered the SMAI Bumper plate range for the past 4 years with zero failures and have found that they are quite simply by far the best value for money plates on the market when it comes to durability, surface finish, tolerance (weight and fit), design and warranty. With a low to medium bounce, no sticky oily residue out of the box, extremely tight weight and design tolerances and a flawless surface finish. In a nutshell the SMAI Bumper plate range is humble, efficient and reliable.
