00:00In today's video, I'm reviewing the Delta Fitness Onyx Bumper Plates. These are almost identical to

00:04the Rogue Echo Bumper Plates, built in China, made of the same material, same stainless steel

00:09inserts, same durometer. The biggest difference though is that these sell for a dollar a pound.

00:14So the Onyx Bumper Plates are made of 100% virgin rubber, which I like in bumpers because it adds

00:18to the durability. It's a dense material that makes them less prone to cracking and less prone

00:23to bending. Now that material also doesn't make them stink as bad as other bumper plates. They

00:27still have a very faint rubber smell to them, but not terrible. Now because of the density of that

00:33material, the virgin rubber, these are going to be high on the durometer rating. These have a durometer

00:38rating of 88. If you're not familiar with durometer ratings, it's basically a scale that tells you the

00:43hardness of the material that they're used for the bumpers with a number that's low being a softer

00:48material. So it's going to provide a higher bounce. And then as the numbers go up, the material gets

00:53harder. So it provides a lower bounce. These have a durometer of 88, not as high as the competition

00:58bumper plates, like the ones you see there on the wall, but still good enough for a home gym.

01:03Now also this, I like what Delta did here with the 10s. The 10s are an inch in width. So that's going

01:09to add to the durability. Most other bumper plates have a smaller width. So for 10 pounds, if you're

01:15familiar with 10 pound bumper plates, you know they're prone to bending. So this having a wider width,

01:21a wider base, it's going to provide more durability to the plate. Now the insert here is stainless steel.

01:26So if you drop these a lot, of course, that stainless steel is going to add to the durability

01:30of the plate. I couldn't find any information on the Delta Fitness website about the collar

01:34opening diameter over here, but I have noticed when I use the bumpers, there is a little bit of

01:38sway on there. So if there was something to improve on, I think they should make that a little

01:42bit tighter just so that there's less sway. Not a huge deal though. Once you put some barbell collars

01:47on the bar, that completely goes away. Now, as far as the width goes for the 45s, they're 2.8 inches

01:52wide. When you compare that to Rogues, Rogues are 2.4 inches wide. So a little bit of a difference

01:57there. These are a little bit wider, but unless you're doing more than 500 pounds, that's really

02:01not going to matter. So you should still be able to fit about 495 pounds if all you do is load up

02:06a sleeve for 45s using the Delta Fitness bumpers. Now I already showed you that the 10 pound plates,

02:12they have a width of one inch. So that wider base is going to be better than the options

02:17out there. This is going to have more durability because there's more material there to take

02:21on the pounding. When it comes to price, these sell for a dollar a pound. So whether I get

02:25a pair of bumpers or an entire set, I'm still going to be paying a dollar. I have the 260 pound

02:29set. So this costs 260 bucks. Now when I compare that to the Rope Echo 260 pound set that costs

02:35$583, that's a huge difference there. I'm paying less than half with these Delta bumper plates.

02:41And remember, these are made in China. They're made of virgin rubber and they have a durometer

02:46of 88. So it's the same thing as the Rope Echo bumpers. So it's your choice. So now I'll give

02:52you my pros and cons. I'll start with the cons. So one thing I would like to see an improvement

02:55on is the collar opening diameter here. I wish it was a little bit tighter, less of a diameter

03:00so it would fit snug on the barbell sleeve. There's a little bit of a sway, not a huge deal. Once you put

03:06a barbell collar on there, that goes away. But I think the tighter, the better, as long as you're able

03:11to get it in and out comfortably. Now for my pros, I like the material here. It's 100% virgin rubber,

03:15which is a dense rubber. So it's going to add durability to the bumper plates. It's going to

03:19make them less prone to cracking, less prone to bending. I also like that it's because it's dense,

03:25it provides a high durometer rating. So that means less bounce. The durometer rating is 88.

03:30And I also like that they made the 10 pound plate an inch wide. So that extra width, it's going to

03:34protect the bumpers or that's more specifically the 10 pound bumper from bending so easily.

03:39And of course, you can't beat the dollar a pound price. So that's my review on the Delta Fitness
