Colour Olympic Bumper Plates - 2.5kgs (PAIR), Black
1. Color Coding vs. Standard Black
- Colour Bumper Plates: Each weight is color-coded according to international weightlifting standards (e.g., 10kg = green, 15kg = yellow, 20kg = blue, 25kg = red). This makes it easy to identify weights quickly.
- Black Bumper Plates: All weights are solid black with weight markings, which may require closer inspection to differentiate between them.
2. Competition vs. General Training
- Colour Bumper Plates: Often used in competition-style training, Olympic lifting, and CrossFit due to their standardized color system.
- Black Bumper Plates: More common in general strength training and commercial gyms.
3. Material & Durability
- Both are typically made from high-density rubber with a steel insert, but some colour plates are made to stricter specifications (e.g., IWF-standard thickness and bounce).
- Some black bumper plates may use slightly softer rubber, which can affect durability and bounce.
4. Price
- Colour bumper plates are generally more expensive due to the dyeing process and standardization.
- Black bumper plates are more budget-friendly while still offering great durability.
Which One Should You Choose?
- If you want competition-style plates, easy weight identification, and a premium gym aesthetic → Go for Colour Bumper Plates.
- If you want a cost-effective, durable, and versatile option for everyday training → Black Bumper Plates are great.
