Best Looking Bumper Plates? Fringe Sport Savage Bumpers Review
Рет қаралды 24,181
Күн бұрынThese might be the best looking bumper plates but how well do they perform? In this video we look at Fringe Sports Savage Bumper plates and compare them to other popular similar options from Rogue Fitness and Vulcan to find the best option.
The Rogue Fleck plates and Vulcan Alpha bumpers both share a lot of similarities with these Savage bumpers from Fringe but they all also have their own unique traits. Let's see if the looks match the performance in this gym equipment review.

This is my new favorite channel for home gym equipment. I have fringe’s wonderbar and some bumpers and no complaints from me. I did get some rubber smell when took them out and let them sit in my basement gym. Granted smaller space, but went away after 2 days and door left opened. 100% agree on customer service.

I have the plain black version of these and can confirm that they're awesome. I find myself choosing them over my Rogue HG bumpers every time, mostly because of the lip being easier to grab with one hand.

Rogue deep dish do look nice , but so do the StrengthCo plates. Now that I have owned both, I Prefer the thinner classic StrengthCo plate with the same shiny ecoat finish. Most folks think Rogue was the first to make these ecoated plates but that goes to Grant at the StrengthCo. His go from 100, 45, 25, 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25. When rogue came out they also had no change plates for like a year.
@fencingrocks3 2 жыл бұрын
@@carps_gym Yeah I have both as well. If I were to only have one kind of plates in my gym it would be Strength Co, just for the capacity on the bar, but I do find myself preferring to handle the deep dish best. As far as looks, I prefer the machined smooth finish on Rogue's over the rough texture on TSC, but it's all personal anyway.
@GlucksGym 2 жыл бұрын
A lot of personal choice there and for everyone that tells me you can fit more plates on the bar I wonder what percentage of people that would ever matter to. One of my buddies pulls over 600lbs with deep dish regularly. I've yet to see another person irl do that but on the internet it's common 😂
@fencingrocks3 2 жыл бұрын
@@GlucksGym Depends on the bar. I have the BOS open trap bar and it has crazy short sleeves, so the deep dish or bumpers limits it to like 315#. For a standard bar with around 16" sleeves you're definitely right though.

I know it’s not recommended but I mostly use my bumpers to mix match them with my iron plates while deadlifting. So I use the thinnest bumpers possible that’s why I like the rogue echo. (2.4in wide for 45). If I did Olympic lifts I probably would use bumpers more though.

I agree that these are the best plates out there. I have Rogue HG, Rogue Echo Color, Rep Color Plates and got a set of these. I own a gym so I try things out, I also grabbed 2 pairs of Rogue Fleck 10s, Titan Urethane 10s as I only use 10s, 25s, 45s. Fringe 10s are the most durable and best quality by far. Titan Urethane are ok, but expensive, smaller and loud. All Rogue bumpers with inserts will get loose and their tens suck across the board. Fringe has exceptional customer service while Rogue is alright (just seem extremely overwhelmed and lead times are insane). Great work Gluck on the content.
