CAP Barbell Rubber Olympic Bumper Plate | Multiple Options/Colors

Great bumper plates, I bought the pair of (2) 55lb plates and loaded them both on my scale, and they are exactly 110lbs for both of them, I was pleasantly surprised, I was expecting a little bit of a discrepancy in weight due to the low price compared to other brands, but lo and behold the weight accuracy is spot on. The finish is smooth and soft, they did come a little oily and smelly of chemical, but I cleaned them with a kitchen napkin and let them air dry all night and that solved the problem. The hole size is 2", just right for my ritfit Olympic barbell, they are 3-5/16" thick. Great buy!

Ok, so everybody knows Cap for making very decent gym related products with very friendly pricing. picked up a set of 15’s. weighing them, they are spot on and are nice quality for home gym use. these get the job done, look good, but cannot be compared to commercial grade and you shouldnt expect them to. this kind of sounds bad but it isn’t, these plates really are great, i just dont think they would hold up to dozens of people using, dropping and abusing them all day every day in a commercial gym setting. they wont be used like that in a home gym. i almost took a star off for one reason. the plates come nicely packaged in a box with foam surrounding the vox corbers and each plate in a plastic bag. when i opened the box i was immediately hit with a strong rubber and oil smell and could see the plates were covered in an oily film through the bag. i wiped them down with paper towels and then a microfiber cloth with windex and they were still a little greasy feeling. this film will eventually evaporate out, but there is quite a noticeable smell in my garage gym. having had cap plates before this film and smell dissapates over the coming days, but i never saw so much of this oil on their plates before. just a bit of inconvenience but in the end the plates function as i would expect them. in the pic i submitted for this review i am using an adapter on the plate to fit my open trap which uses standard 1 inch plates.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Durable and Great Value for Home Gym I picked up a pair of the CAP 45lb PRO bumper plates for my garage gym, and they’ve been excellent so far. The weight is accurate (within a few ounces when I checked with a scale), and the plates feel solid and well-built. The rubber coating has just the right amount of bounce when dropped, and they fit snugly on my Olympic bar without wobbling. They aren’t as thick as some cheaper bumpers, which means I can load more weight on the bar, and the finish has held up well after multiple workouts. There’s a bit of rubber smell and oiliness when first unboxing, but it fades quickly. Overall, for the price, these are a fantastic addition to any home gym. If you’re looking for reliable bumper plates that don’t break the bank, CAP delivers. Would definitely buy again.

Great price, they do stink pretty bad and will stink your whole house up if you just unbox them and lightly clean them Even if you clean them really good with multiple solutions they still just stink up your house or room. Solution is to clean them really good cause they are shipped with some sort of oil film, then set them outside in the sun all day 1 day per side and let them off gas in the sun all day long. That has significantly reduced the smell they put off. I will be putting them outside 1 more time and spraying air freshener on them this last time before they will live inside the rest of their lives.

CAP makes pretty good products. They aren’t top tier by any means but they get the job done. I am not even positive which CAP weights this review was for because I have about 350 lbs of various weights between their economy and elite series weights. The economy series is nice. I like the color markings to differentiate weight easily at a glance. I’d say accuracy of weight is hit or miss. Some are spot on but the 45lb weights are actually 46.7 lbs (at least mine are). I have a multiple 45 lbs plates but a single one has developed a bit of a crack in it. I’ve only had it for 5 months so that’s not great. But the other 3 45 lbs plates are all fine. I have 2 15 lb plates and one of them developed a small almost bubble on the side. Though it’s very small and not an issue, but it’s a slight deformation. All the other economy models are fine. As for elites, I only have 2 35 and 2 25 elite models. You can tell it’s virgin rubber versus recycled rubber on the economy. It just feels denser almost. I have no deformities or cracks in the elite models. Price wise you can sometimes get elite for as cheap and in some cases cheaper than the economy so I’d go with elite. HOWEVER, the elite is all black and lacks color to differentiate them easily at a glance. Look. These aren’t Rogue Fitness. But they aren’t $3-5 a lb either. They are just as heavy to lift as other premium brands at a fraction of the cost. They’ll do for the avg lifter and they’re a great buy on a budget.

These bumper plates are exactly what I was looking for! The 45-pound plate feels solid and well-balanced, and the rubber coating really makes a difference—it protects my floor and equipment without that strong rubber smell you sometimes get with other brands. The steel hub fits my Olympic bar snugly with no wobble, and the uniform size across different weights makes loading and unloading smooth. You can tell the construction is built to last. CAP has been around forever, and it shows in the quality of this plate. Perfect for heavy lifts, garage gyms, or just adding some durability to your setup. Definitely worth it!

Quality plates. I use these strictly to power clean and drop them on a wood and rubber platform that I made. I haven't seen any damage in the metal sleeve or rubber plate, even when I accidentally dropped the weight on my concrete patio. These plates do bounce but nothing unusual like the cheap bumper plates. The bounce is just enough to allow my bar to whip and not deform. P.S. I got the pro plates as the only difference between them and the competition plates is the color

The value of these bumper plates is clear; plus, the construction/fit and finish are very nice. However, the plates came covered in some oily concoction (probably some kind of packing lube or grease meant to preserve the product) and the rubber smell was quite strong and noxious. I had to leave the plates outside for a couple days to air out properly. That being said, they'll do the job and are a good buy.
