Reload Blackout Competition Bumper Plates [Sold in Pairs]

Reload Blackout Competition Bumper Plates

The Blackout Range | Reinforced Steel Hub | 450mm Olympic Diameter | Sold in Pairs

The Blackout Range is the competition look with the colour switched off: a solid black rubber body, white Reload graphics, and a polished multi-ring hub as the only flash on the plate. Every weight reads clean on the bar, every pair matches, and a loaded barbell looks the way a serious platform should.

Built as true bumpers — dense rubber around a reinforced steel centre hole — they take deadlifts and Olympic lifts being dropped, with the full 450mm Olympic diameter on every size so the bar always sits at proper pulling height. Sold in matched pairs from 5kg to 20kg.

Key Features

• Blackout competition styling — black rubber body, white Reload branding, every weight identical on the rack
• Reinforced steel centre hole — polished competition hub that keeps a tight, rattle-free fit drop after drop
• 450mm Olympic diameter on every size — proper bar height from warm-up 5s to working 20s
• Competition-profile thickness — 24mm to 67mm, so a full set still leaves sleeve room
• Dense, drop-rated rubber — built for deadlifts and Olympic lifting, low bounce on landing
• Sold as matched pairs — one for each side of the bar

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the price for one plate or a pair?
A pair — every size ships as two matched plates, one for each side of the bar.

How thick is each plate?
5kg: 24mm | 10kg: 35mm | 15kg: 53mm | 20kg: 67mm. The slim competition profile means a full Blackout set loads with sleeve room to spare.

Can I drop these from overhead?
Yes — that is what bumpers are for. The dense rubber body and reinforced centre hole handle deadlifts and Olympic lifts being dropped; we still recommend rubber gym flooring under the platform to protect the slab and cut the noise.

Which Reload bumpers are right for me?
Three lines, three jobs: the Blackout Range is the all-black competition look with the reinforced steel hub; the Premium Colour Bumpers code every weight by colour so a shared rack organises itself; and the Reload HD EPDM bumpers are the classic black workhorse at a sharper price.

Will they fit my bar?
Yes — the 50mm reinforced steel holes fit snugly on all Olympic barbells, including our Elite Camo and Harden Chrome bars.

How do I store them?
The vertical plate tree keeps the set off the floor and the platform clear.
