Features & Highlights

• Urethane – Urethane is a premium material that offers several benefits compared to rubber. It’s more durable, it’s odorless, and it produces more vibrant colors.
• Minimal Bounce – Titan Fitness doesn’t state a durometer rating on these plates, but urethane plates offer a very low bounce, and feedback has reported this to be true with these plates. Most urethane plates have a durometer rating of 90, which is in-line with competition-style bumper plates. 
• Chrome-Plated Steel Disc – The KG Urethane Bumper Plates from Titan Fitness have a hard chrome center hub that’s larger than the center rings on traditional bumper plates but smaller than full hubs of competition-style plates. The hub is single-piece construction, which is standard for urethane plates. The hole opening on these plates is 50.6mm vs 50.4 – this is slightly larger than other plates but it will still accommodate Olympic-sized bars well. 
• Raised Flanges– The outer edges of the plates are raised to help when picking the plates up from a flat position or otherwise carrying them. There is also a raised flange around the center disc to prevent metal-on-metal contact and to extend the life of the plates.
• Weight Offerings – Titan Fitness KG Urethane Bumper Plates can be purchased from 5KG up to 25KG and they’re sold in singles (except for 5KG, which is sold in pairs). The price you see on the Titan website is for a single plate while the price you see on this page is that of the pair. The 5KG offering a nice benefit that some urethane plate manufacturers do not offer. They can also be purchased in a 150KG set. All plates ship for free.
• Plate Width – Plate thickness is generally a big benefit with urethane. They’re generally very thin, and in some cases, thinner than competition rubber plates. Plate widths are as follows:
  • 5KG – 0.94″
  • 10KG – 1.5″
  • 15KG – 1.77″
  • 20KG – 1.97″
  • 25KG – 2.2″
• Durability – Urethane is a highly durable material built to stand up to a lot of abuse. These plates have a good reputation in the durability department. It’s not recommended to drop the 5KG plates by themselves since they’re the most susceptible to warping.
• Texture – The plates have a pebble grain texture to them that helps your grip, but they aren’t quite as grippy as rubber competition plates. Urethane tends to be a little slicker.
• Weight Tolerance – The Titan Fitness KG Urethane Bumper Plates have a very accurate weight tolerance of +/- 1% (standard for urethane).
• Aesthetics – While these aren’t my favorite-looking urethane plates, they do still look very nice. They have vibrant colors and raised lettering, but the ‘TITAN’ gets a little lost considering it’s the same color as the plate.

• “I was looking for 5 kg change plates and came across these. Looked like a great option compared to other brands that were more than twice the cost. They seemed to be solid and fit the sleeves snuggly. Although they are smaller than the standard Olympic plate and not meant to be dropped, they are perfect for warming up and as change plates.”
