The term would translate to “rubber bumper” if humans tried to translate it literally. Of course, things aren’t actually like that. Bumper plates are weightlifting discs with a steel core constructed of virgin or recycled rubber. They have only lately entered the global market, but because of their unique qualities, they have already carved out a sizable portion of the industry. Built using a rubber compound that is inherently strong and resilient.
For those seeking affordable weights that make users feel like individuals are really competing in the Olympics, Titan Fitness Bumper Plates are a good option. The rubber scent is also absent from these weights, unlike rubber bumper plates.

Introducing Urethane:
Titan Health Urethane bumper plates are constructed of urethane rather than rubber and are designed to resemble “competition” bumper plates.
A synthetic substance called urethane combines some of the greatest qualities of rubber and plastic. Urethane has a great resistance to cutting, ripping, and abrasion while still being flexible enough to withstand impact damage and deformation. In other words, urethane is a substance that can take a beating and is hence a great choice for bumper plates.
So urethane bumper plates are indeed quite resilient, and they also offer the following benefits over traditional rubber bumper plates:
- Low or no bounce enables the bar to be reset more quickly for more reps.
- Rubber bumper plates have a thinner profile, allowing for greater weight loads on the bar.
- Greater color vibrancy than rubber plates
- No rubber smell, no odor.

Final words:
Urethane plates only make sense if one want to as closely replicate Olympic weightlifting competition circumstances at home without having to fork over the cash for a full Eleiko set. Another example would be a commercial gym where heavy plates would be thrown all day long from above. The elite bumpers will more than suffice if users only taught a lesson once or twice each week.
