Let’s enter the world of Yakka Strength Weight Plates…

YAKKA STRENGTH BLACK BUMPER PLATES

“For the everyday athlete”

Our Black Bumper Plates are a great choice for anyone. They will be perfect for a home gym or a commercial facility because they are packed with features. Constructed with high quality Virgin Rubber they are held to strict weight tolerance of 1% giving you balance and consistently throughout your lifts. Additionally, these stealth looking plates blend a IWF spec of 450mm diameter with a thin width profile so can load more weight on the bar. A durometer rating of 93 ensures a low bounce and with minimal noise. The Yakka Strength Black Bumper Plates are offered in a 100KG & 150KG bundle as well as individual plates ranging from 5KG to 25KG.

YAKKA STRENGTH COLOUR SPLASH BUMPER PLATES

“For the everyday athlete”

Team Yakka’s Colour Splash Bumpers don’t only look great, but they are built that way too. Engineered with styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) these plates offer great resistance to the elements while maintain a strict weight tolerance of 1%. As well as offering an IWF spec of a 450mm diameter throughout the range of 5KG to 25KG plates they also arsenal IWF fleck colouring that makes easy to identity the weight. With a slightly lower Durometer rating the Colour Splash Bumpers offers a slightly higher bounce and therefore more shock absorbing. 

YAKKA STRENGTH NARROW OLYMPIC BUMPER PLATES

“For the serious weightlifter”

Yakka Strength Narrow Olympic Bumper Plates are the best in our range. They are packed with high quality features that make them one of the best plates on the market with exceptional value. Built for the serious lifter they offer IWF plate colouring, a super thin profile so you can load more weight onto the bar and a hard chrome centre hub that gives the plates a superior construction that’s backed by a 3 year warranty.

YAKKA STRENGTH URETHANE TRI-GRIP PLATES

“For the everyday weightlifter”

Team Yakka’s Urethane Tri-Grip Weight Plates range from 1.25KG to 20KG. Constructed with Poly Urethane these plates are tear resistance making them super durable as well as odourless. Urethane plates are the best quality and that’s why their price is slightly higher than Virgin Rubber. As these are not Bumper Plates, they aren’t designed to be dropped like the plates listed above but they are great for bench press, squats, deadlifts and many more. With a 50mm centre hub they can used with our range of bars and loadable dumbbells making them the perfect option for any home gym. Backed by a 3-year commercial warranty these plates will function and look great in any facility.
