Bells of Steel Urethane Olympic Plate (35 lb, Pair)

Overview

Bells of Steel positions its urethane plate as a do-everything disc that splits the difference between an iron plate and a bumper. The 35-pound plate is built on a steel core encased in a thick urethane shell, a material that resists gouging, chemical breakdown, and fading far better than rubber while staying dense enough to keep the plate thin. That slim profile lets it load tight on the sleeve like iron, yet the urethane tolerates the occasional drop that would chip a cast plate. Three grip cutouts are molded into the body for easy one-handed handling, and the raised lettering is part of the molded shell so it never wears off. Bells of Steel calibrates the core to a tight tolerance, so the stated weight is accurate enough for programmed training and balanced loading. The 2-inch Olympic hole is machined for a clean fit. Backed by the brand's lifetime warranty on the plate, the urethane disc is a premium, long-lived choice for a home gym that wants accuracy, durability, and a compact profile in a single plate.
