Rank #4 in Best Bumper Plates 2026: 10 Ranked, and the £1.36-per-Kilo Set
PhysKcal 50 mm Crumb Rubber Bumper Plate, 5 kg Pair
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
PhysKcal's crumb rubber bumper plates are number four in this guide, and the listing is the 5 kg x 2 option: two 5 kg plates, £49.99. The specs give Number of Items as 2 and an Item Weight of 10 kg, and two 5 kg plates do come to 10 kg — so this sheet holds together in a way the 45 lb pair with a 907 g item weight does not. The catch is what that works out at. £49.99 across the listed 10 kg is about £5.00 per kilo, against roughly £1.36 per kilo for the 22.7 kg set priced at £30.91.
The 4.7-star average comes from 48 ratings, and the star breakdown as listed runs 82% five-star, 8% four-star, 8% three-star and 2% one-star. The plates are given as 450 mm in diameter, fitting a 2-inch Olympic barbell, with a 50.5 mm stainless steel hub insert in the bullet points while the title says 50 mm — a small gap on a listing that otherwise adds up. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing, not from any test of our own.
