Product Summary
Weights are guaranteed to within 10 grams of stated weight. All plates are weighed before leaving our warehouse on scales accurate within 1 gram. Thinner profile than most competition bumper plates allows more plates on the bar. Raised lettering is coated with indelible ink that will not come off easily or fade like many other brands of competition bumper plates. Discs are glass bead blasted to provide great aesthetic look after multiple uses. Textured surface of steel discs lessens unsightly surface scratches and scuffing. Dead blow low bounce virgin rubber and rubber compounds. Rubber sits approximately 1.25 mm above disc to ensure super tight fit and minimal metal to metal contact between bumper plates. The steel discs of the Vulcan Absolute Bumper Plate are guaranteed not to depart from the plate or spin within the plate for the duration of the warranty.
Vulcan Absolute Competition Bumper Plate Sets are spot tested and mechanically drop tested 10,000 times. A more extensive test than any of our competitors. All Vulcan Elite Bumper are manufactured in accordance with IWF specifications. We can only guarantee that Vulcan Absolute Bumpers will fit properly on Vulcan Barbells and other barbells made to IWF specifications. We cannot guarantee the fit on lower end bars that have not been manufactured with strict tolerances for the collar diameter.
* 5 Year warranty. Warranty covers steel discs departing from or rotating within the plate or plates breaking. Absolute Competition Plates should not be used outdoors, on bare concrete floors, or dropped on rubber flooring less than 3/8″ thickness. Intentional misuse, neglect or abuse will void warranty.
