THE DUROMETER (SHORE A) SCALE

The durometer scale for bumper plates typically refers to the Shore A scale, which is the standard international system which measures the hardness of rubber. The "Durometer" instrument used to conduct the tests provides a rating of 0 to 100. A reading of over 80 is considered more than acceptable for a bumper plates. Consider this, the majority of car tyres have a rating of approximately 65.

Below are the common Durometer Ratings for Bumper Plates:

Lower-end / Economy bumper plates:
70–75A

• Softer rubber
• More bounce
• Less durable and noisier on drop

Mid-range bumper plates:
80–85A

• Balanced durability and bounce
• Standard for many gym-quality plates

High-end / Competition bumper plates:
90–95A

• Harder rubber
• Minimal bounce
• High durability, often IWF standards

What It Means:

• Higher durometer (90–95A) → Less bounce, more durability, tighter tolerances.
• Lower durometer (70–80A) → More bounce, softer impact, but can degrade faster.
