Rebel bituminous weight plates Classic Disc 2×10 kg, 31 mm bore

Rebel bituminous weight plates Classic Disc 2×10 kg with a 31 mm bore are a compact set of two 10 kg plates designed for use on standard Olympic/short barbells with a 31 mm sleeve diameter. Manufactured from a bituminous composite, these plates prioritize reduced noise and improved floor protection compared with bare metal plates while maintaining a traditional disc shape and consistent weight distribution suitable for free-weight training at home or in a studio environment.

Advantages

The bituminous construction provides impact dampening and quieter handling during loading, unloading and accidental drops on non-specialized flooring. The Classic Disc shape ensures compatibility with most standard 31 mm-sleeve barbells and allows for easy stacking and storage. These plates are corrosion-resistant and require minimal maintenance compared with cast-iron or bare-steel alternatives, making them suitable for environments where durability and floor protection are priorities.

Suitable for

• Home strength training with short or Olympic-style bars (31 mm sleeve)
• Fitness studios and small gyms where noise reduction is desirable
• Accessory loading for squats, deadlifts, bench press and barbell conditioning
• Users seeking durable plates that protect flooring and reduce impact sound

Key specifications

• Set composition: 2 plates × 10 kg each
• Bore diameter: 31 mm
• Material: bituminous composite
• Disc format: classic round plate
• Primary benefits: noise reduction, floor protection, corrosion resistance

How to use

Slide the plates onto a barbell with 31 mm sleeve diameter, securing them with appropriate collars or clamps before performing exercises. Use standard lifting technique for squats, deadlifts, presses and other barbell movements, ensuring weights are evenly distributed on both sides of the bar. When adding or removing plates, handle them close to the body and place them gently on a protective surface to maintain the integrity of both plates and flooring.

Usage recommendations

Inspect plates regularly for surface damage and clean them with a damp cloth; avoid aggressive chemicals. Use proper collars and avoid uncontrolled drops on hard surfaces to prolong the service life of the bituminous material. Store plates in a dry area away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
