Black Bumper Plate Sets

Fringe Sport bumper plates are durable, so they'll absorb all the punishment you dish out, thin so you can add bigger loads to the bar and super weight accurate. Better yet, unlearn everything you've ever learned about 10 lb bumpers, and drop these at will. Yes, you read that right. Drop the 10s. They won't crumble. After the boulder rolled downhill, did Sisyphus ever find it broken?

Think about epic heroes like Luke Skywalker or the Karate Kid. You too are called to training that will involve pain and suffering. We're here to be your Yoda. We invite you to embark on your hero's journey. Accept the challenge, and our bumper plates will be the burden that makes you a champion.

Mark of a Champion

The quality of training determines the quality of the champion. We want you to succeed, so we've hammered our bumper plates, alleviating you of any worries about their quality. Every year my dad would haggle with the Christmas tree dealer, telling him "Jesse James had a gun," implying he was robbing us with no weapon. Here's why you're going to feel like you've done the same to us:

• Torture Tested. Yeah, that's right, we're sadists with our bumpers. We originally torture tested them to 15,000 drops, and now we've UPPED the test to 30,000 drops! Proven tough, even the 10s! Pop, stop and drop our 10s as much as you want. The toughness of our 10s made us do a mic drop.
• Texas Tough. The legendary reputation for our bumpers' durability precedes them. Why are they so damn durable? We leveled up by including a hooked steel insert (see picture above) in our 25 lb, 35 lb, 45 lb, and 55 lb bumpers. These bumpers will handle everything and anything you throw at them, from the good to the bad and the ugly.
• Drop the 10s! Just say no to tacos. Our 10 lb plates won't bend, fold, crease or cease on you. We made the competition's weak link, our strong suit, by employing engineering and design-savvy. The resulting durometer rating gives you a fear of heights and benefits you with bumpers that survive 40-foot drops. If our 10 pounders do this, imagine what the rest of our plates handle.
• 10 lb Smart Design. With a thicker width to dissipate shock upon impact and a narrower diameter to offset impact, we engineered our 10 lb plates to resist destruction.

• Warrant not to worry. We do our best to increase your comfort, by not only punishing our plates and proving their durability but also by backing them up with the best warranty in the industry. Giving you a year on tens and fifteens, and three years on the rest, makes you wonder if we crush on our customers too hard. We have our commercial customers' backs too. If you own a box or a gym, we've got our equipment spotted for you.

Austin Buff, Texas Tough

We face a unique challenge here at Fringe Sport because we have to live up to lofty billing that competitors don't- being Texas tough. We take pride in doing so, and we've brought that legendary, bootstrapping resilience to our bumper plates. Toiling in the cavernous forges at Fringe headquarters, our blacksmiths manufactured our bumper plates with virgin rubber, and a crafted a "hooked" steel insert providing unmatched durability, density and low bounce that will hold up to the most brutal and punishing workouts. Fringe bumpers endure, the most arduous, customer-focused manufacturing and quality control in the industry, along with a robust shipping process. We're proud of the impeccable quality and glad to hand you these true grit tempered, bumpers on a plate.

Eric Rodarte says:

"I bought a full gym package - dual squat rack, color bumpers, slam ball, and of course the Wonder bars. The quality is amazing, the rack is sturdy (even on multiple T2B). The bumpers bounce very little and will be durable for many years to come. The plates are better than all the plates from other vendors in my previous CF gym. I'm really glad I purchased Fringe Sport products -- I'm a customer for life!"

Rick Kenney says:

"The awesome customer service I've received from Susie and Lauren will keep me a Fringe customer for life. If you're looking for a barbell and bumper setup, the OneFitWonder bumpers and Wonder Bar are the best value on the market right now. I opted for the needle bearing bar and have no idea how Fringe is making money off of it. It's that nice. My only regret is that I didn't spend a couple extra bucks and spring for the color version of the bumpers, but I'm still really happy with my purchases 4 months later. If you have any reservations about buying from Fringe, lose 'em. Their customer service is great and their products are incredible."

Fringe It, or Forget It

Don't worry about hitting a bump in the road either. Not only do we stand behind our product, but we lift under them too. Whether that means using Fringe Sport bumpers daily at Fringe Sport headquarters (you're invited to come in and workout with us anytime) or offering impeccable customer service. We strive to be your trusted workout partner and trainer. A three-year warranty covers all our 25 lb, 35 lb, 45 lb, and 55 lb bumpers, with a one year warranty for our 10 lb and 15 lb bumpers. If you aren't happy with your purchase for whatever reason within the first 30 days, we'll give you a full refund and foot the bill for return shipping. We aim to please, so our return policies even extend up to a year. We have our commercial customers' backs too. If you own a box or a gym, we've got our equipment spotted for you.

We have an informal state motto here in Texas- "come and take it." Not only do we want you to do this with Fringe Sport bumper plates, but we'd like to put our own spin on it. Fringe it, or forget it.

Choosing the Right Black Bumper Plate Pair for You

Frequently Asked Questions

• How wide are these bumpers?
• 55's are 3.2", 45's are 2.9'', 35's are 2.35'', 25's are 1.87'' 15's are 1.2'', and the 10's are 1.05''
• What is the durometer reading on these bumpers?
• The 10 and 15-pound bumper plates are 90; the 25, 35, 45 and 55-pound bumpers are 85
• What does durometer mean?
• Durometer is a measure of the hardness of a material. It ranges from 0-100, and the higher the rating the harder the material, and the higher the material's resistance to indentation. Anything above 65 is acceptable for bumper plates. Our plates are considered to be excellent.
• Why do different weight bumper plates have different durometer readings?
• In general, the lighter bumper plates have a higher durometer reading because they need to be more rigid to withstand the stress of being dropped. Heavier plates have more surface area to distribute the stress, so they do not need to be as hard.

• What is the diameter of these bumpers?

• Most Fringe Sport bumper plates are the IWF standard 450mm (~17.7") width in diameter, with +/-1.5mm variance
• The ten-pound Fringe Sport bumpers are 445mm (17.5") in diameter

• What? Why are the ten-pound bumpers narrower than all the rest?

• The ten-pound bumper plates are purposefully 5mm narrower than the other bumper plates so that when you have 10's loaded on the bar, plus other bumpers, the 10-pound plates impact the ground a split second later than the other bumpers. Since the 10-pound plates have the least surface area and are thus the weakest bumpers, this saves stress on your 10 pounders!
• My bumpers smell. Do you carry bumpers that don't smell?
• Sometimes the bumpers smell due to the way that they are made. It isn't permanent. The best remedy is to let them air out in the sun for about 5 days.
• My bumpers are greasy? How can I get the grease off?
• The bumpers are greased as a part of the manufacturing process. Sometimes the factory doesn't clean the plates well enough. Here's what we do to de-grease these bad boys:
• We wash the bumpers about 3 times, with paper towels, soap, and water. If that doesn't work, then we use a de-greaser spray that can be purchased at a local home improvement store.
• Can I drop the 10-pound bumpers like I see my favorite athletes do?
• Drop away. We are confident that our 10-pound bumper plates can handle the abuse, and they are backed by our fully comprehensive warranty for 1 year just in case.
• What does it mean if there is a white star on my bumper?
• Some of our plates go through random spot checks by different quality assurance teams. The star simply means your plate passed inspection. There are no differences in quality between plates with or without stars!
• Are these black bumpers the same as the old One Fit Wonder plates?
