“Incredible set of bumper plates. Use them 3 - 4x a week in my garage or driveway. The only non-crumb rubber bumper plate that I am aware of that can withstand the daily abuse of hitting concrete, asphalt and other outdoor surfaces. I have a complete set of Alphas and could not be happier with my purchase. Thank you Vulcan.”

“The Vulcan Alphas have been awesome. They are noticeably quieter than the virgin rubber bumpers I was previously using. The material feels a little softer than a traditional bumper... I bought a full set 10-55's, and they all were almost exactly the weight described. The bumpers were all more or less flawless, no chip or dings and every one of them sits tight and firm on my Rogue OPB. The steel sleeve is straight, and the bumpers hang cleanly on the storage rack as well. I bought these because my indoor area has ceiling too low for overhead lifts, so I do Olympic lifting outdoors. So far these live up to their durability promise. I have been dropping them on cement and asphalt and the look great. The right around the outside of the plate is a little shallower than other bumpers, so I was worried getting them off the flat floor would be challenging, but they come up fine. The inner ridge is nice and thick, making them really easy to handle, including the 55 which is massive and heavy. These are a little thicker than other bumpers I have used, but have presented any problems fitting on my Olympic bar or Kabuki trap. They also look awesome, some of the pics on the Vulcan website still show the V1 Alphas that had black letters and less of the colored flecks. These all have white lettering and the colored flecks on every plate look really awesome. They are more blob style flecks, vs smeared ones on the similar looking (but not as awesome) Rogue plates. They are also have much more noticeable and vibrant colors then the Again Faster crumb plates with color flecks. Lastly, little to no smell at all. I left them in the garage for one night after wiping with just a damp cloth and they had very little smell left when I moved them inside. Each plate had two tiny little stickers on them, which was kind of a pain to pick off, but that is about the only complaint I have. Great great bumpers, would absolutely recommend.”

“Great plates. Very low bounce and noise. Haven’t tried them outside yet but work great inside. Very thick/wide plates so can’t fit more than 2 on the storage rack or that many on each side of a bar, generally not a problem unless you are going very heavy.”
