Summary
The Vulcan Strength Alpha Bumper Plates are an extremely popular weight plate that claim to be more durable and quieter than pretty much every other bumper plate on the market. They also include a unique color fleck pattern that most find to be very aesthetically pleasing. Although we can't comment on the efficacy of the claims made, we can say that reviewers of the plates love them, as do most in the home gym community. We do recommend them, although they are a bit more expensive than many competitors on the market, including the Rogue Fleck Plates that have a similar appearance.
