If you lift Olympic or train CrossFit and want plates you can drop from overhead, this 2-pack gives you 10 kg per plate built from high-density rubber around a steel ring. The 50 mm hole fits Olympic bars and the 450 mm diameter keeps the bar at standard pull height off the floor.

It suits lifters building out a home setup who want IWF-compliant sizing and grooved edges for a steadier grip when loading. The scratch-resistant surface and 43 mm width make these an easy match for a growing stack of functional and Olympic plates.

Is this bumper plates right for you?

This bumper plates is right for you if:

  • You train Olympic lifts, CrossFit or functional workouts with repeated drops to the floor
  • You load an Olympic bar with the 50 mm hole and want a 450 mm standard plate diameter
  • You want IWF-compliant plates with a steel core ring and grooved, scratch-resistant edges for grip

Look at another option if:

  • You lift mainly on a bench and never drop the bar, where cheaper cast-iron plates do the job
  • You run a standard 25 mm bar rather than an Olympic one, as these fit the 50 mm sleeve
  • You only need small jumps for accessory work and would get more from a lighter plate pair

Cortex 10kg Black Series V3 Bumper Plates (2 Pack)

This is a pair of 10kg bumper plates built for dropping loaded lifts without worrying about the floor or the plates.

At 10kg each, they suit lighter sets and are an easy addition to an existing Olympic plate set.

  • 10 kg per plate, sold as a 2 pack
  • 450 mm plate diameter
  • 43 mm plate width
  • 50 mm hole fits Olympic bars

What this means for you: A sensible step-up or warm-up pair that drops cleanly when you miss a rep.

Steel Ring Core and 50mm Olympic Hole

A steel ring is set into the 50mm centre, so the plate slides onto an Olympic bar and stays snug under repeated loading and dropping.

  • Steel ring core
  • 50 mm hole diameter
  • Fits standard Olympic bars

What this means for you: The steel insert is the part that takes the abuse of repeated loading, so the fit holds up over time.

High-Density Rubber with Grooved Edges

The high-density rubber absorbs the impact of dropped lifts.

Grooved edges give you something to grip when loading and stripping the bar.

  • High-density rubber construction
  • Scratch-resistant surface
  • Grooved edges for grip

What this means for you: For deadlifts, cleans and snatches, this is the plate type I steer home-gym lifters toward, because it is built to be dropped.

IWF-Compliant 450mm Diameter Build

These plates are built to the IWF standard at 450mm diameter, which is the full-size bumper plate dimension used in Olympic lifting.

That means the bar sits at the correct pull height from the floor for cleans, snatches and deadlifts.

  • IWF compliant
  • 450 mm diameter (full-size bumper)
  • Functional, Olympic and CrossFit use
  • 12 Months Parts warranty

What this means for you: Full-diameter plates let you train the Olympic lifts from the correct floor height, which matters for technique.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these plates fit my barbell?

Yes, as long as you're running an Olympic bar. The 50 mm hole diameter matches standard Olympic sleeves, so they slide straight on. They won't suit a standard 25 mm bar. If you're building a setup from scratch, make sure your bar and collars are Olympic spec too.

Can I drop these plates during Olympic lifts?

Yes, that's exactly what they're built for. The high-density rubber and steel ring core let you drop them from overhead during cleans, snatches and jerks. I use bumpers like these with CrossFit and Olympic lifting clients because they take repeated drops without cracking. Lift on a rubber mat or platform to look after your floor.

How thick is each plate on the bar?

Each 10 kg plate is 43 mm wide with a 450 mm diameter. That width is handy to know when you're loading heavy, because it tells you how many plates fit before you run out of sleeve. For most lifters loading 10 kg plates, sleeve space won't be an issue.

Do these come as a pair or a single plate?

This is a 2 pack, so you get two 10 kg plates for 20 kg total. That's one plate per side of the bar, which keeps things balanced. If you need to load heavier, add more pairs so both sides stay even.

How are these plates shipped?

Weight plates ship via freight because of their weight. We'll keep you across it once the order is dispatched. Bumper plates arrive ready to use straight out of the box, so there's no assembly or setup involved.

What happens if a plate arrives damaged?

Take photos before fully unpacking and send them to support@cardioonline.com.au within 48 hours of delivery. We'll lodge the freight claim and organise a replacement. You won't deal with the courier or manufacturer directly, that's our job. The plates also carry a 12 month parts warranty.

What warranty do these plates come with?

They carry a 12 month parts warranty, handled locally by us. The scratch-resistant surface and steel ring core are built to hold up to regular drops in functional and Olympic training.
