Tri grip weight plates are free weights that can be added to a barbell, or used independently for a variety of exercises. Mirafit tri grip plates come in a full range - from 1.25kg through to 25kg.

Differences Between Tri Grip Plates and Bumper Plates

Tri plates are made from cast iron, while Olympic bumper plates are made of rubber, letting you drop them from overhead.

Tri plates have a smaller circumference, varying from 15.5cm to 40cm depending on the weight, while Olympic bumper plates universally have a diameter of 45cm.

Which Size Weight Plates Should I Buy?

1" Tri Grip Weight Plates are designed for 1-inch standard barbells and attachments, while 2" Tri Grip Weight Plates are tailored for a 2-inch Olympic bar and attachments.

Opt for the 2-inch tri grip plates if you plan to use the barbell for Olympic lifts and deadlifts, as this allows interchangeability with bumper plates.

If you are a beginner, or are planning to use the plates without a bar, 1 inch plates could be a great, budget-friendly addition to your home gym.

Benefits of Tri Grip Weights

Durable Construction

Tri weight plates are made from sturdy, long-lasting cast iron. This durability is great for home gyms, ensuring that your equipment remains reliable over an extended period of time.

Exercise Versatility

Thanks to the tri grip design, these weight plates can be used for plate-only exercises. Their superior grip, compared to Olympic plates, also makes them user-friendly. Additionally, their smaller size makes them easier to handle.

Effortless Weight Changes
