Our Thoughts
Squat Racks Canada have really stepped up to the plate with these performance bumper plates. The rubber looks great and is consistent all throughout, with minimal smell. Often times with bumper plates, the rubber will seem cheap or have inconsistency's around the center hub or the rim of the bumper. However that is not the case with the Performance HDI bumper plates from SRC, these bumpers feel high quality and they have the performance to back it up.
In terms of performance, from my experience these bumper plates have minimal bounce, and are quite accurate. In my gym, I have two of the 25lb HDI Performance V2 Bumpers and both were extremely accurate coming in at 25.1 lbs and 25.3 lbs. In my experience, this is really accurate when talking about standard bumper plates, because I have had bumper plates weigh almost 4 lbs short of their stated weight. When shopping for bumper plates, weight accuracy is something to consider, espicially when buying 'budget' bumper plates.
I also wanted to quickly touch on the packaging. As you can see from the picture below, these bumper plates were packaged really well with no holes or tears in the cardboard. They used a lot of plastic tape to hold everything together and I'm really glad they put in the extra effort because there is nothing more disappointing than recieving damaged gym equipment.
Lastly, these multipurpose bumper plates look excellent in my opinion. They have an excellent design and the black and red look awesome together. These bumper plates come in before shipping and taxes at $235.00 per 45lb pair. In my opinion, this is very decent price for these bumper plates compared to the Rogue Echo V2's at $261.00 per 45lb pair. If you're in market for bumper plates, I highly recommend you consider the Squat Racks Canada HDI Performance V2 Bumper Plates - I think you will be happy with your purchase.
