GORILA OX BUMPER PLATES
The Gorila OX Bumper Plates were designed to compete with the best brands on the market and that's exactly what they're doing. We've waited a long time before launching our own high grade olympic bumpers, mostly because we simply could not lower our standards, quality needed to be very high and the price as low as possible.
The result is a thin dead bounce bumper plate that will last a lifetime. Our special process also gives a distinctive matte finish to the plate which, on its own, would be a good enough selling point to convince you, but why stop there.
No one was qualified enough in Canada or USA so we had to meet with different suppliers in China. We know Chinese products tend to have a bad reputation but when it comes to rubber molding processes and machinery, nobody's half as qualified and equipped as our overseas suppliers.
What to look for when buying bumper plates:
Lower quality plates will have higher weight tolerance (sometime up to 10%) meaning your 45 plate could weight 40 or 50lb.
Shore A (or Sha) Durometer is telling you a lot on bumper plates quality. The higher the durometer reading, the harder the rubber was compressed in the molding process, anything close to 90 is great. This means fewer or no air particles trapped in the plate, so the plate won't crack over time. It also gives the plates a dead blow comparable to pricier comp plates on the market.
Higher Durometer readings also makes for stronger 10s and 15s. Softer plate will tend to bend and break easier. (We do recommend dropping even the highest quality plate from hip height)
Steel inserts will also tend to loosen faster in a softer, cheaper plate.
Notice how thin the bumper plates can become when compressed correctly, which means you can put more plates on your barbell.
Warranty: 10-15LB variant plates are warrantied for 90 days. The 25-45 LBS variants are warrantied for 3 years.
