XMASTER FITNESS Urethane Black Grip Plate Review
Our verdict
At $296, the XMASTER FITNESS Urethane Black Grip Plate has no reviews on Amazon at all, zero, making it the least proven listing in this comparison. The urethane coating and grip design suggest a different use case than the cast iron sets here, but there is no buyer feedback yet to confirm anything about it.

Overview
Every other plate in this comparison has at least some review history to weigh, from the Body-Solid Cast Iron Olympic Weight Plate Set's 78 reviews to the Fitvids POG-2INIP-70SET's 452. The XMASTER FITNESS Urethane Black Grip Plate has none. At $296, it is priced near the top of this comparison, just above its own XMASTER sibling at $276, but without a single review to back up that price.
The name points to urethane coating and a grip feature, both common choices for plates meant to be handled directly rather than just loaded and left on a bar, unlike the cast iron sets covered elsewhere here. But no weight, piece count, or additional material spec is listed, so there is no way to compare its per-pound cost against the Fitvids sets, which spell out exactly what 40 or 48 pounds of cast iron costs.
With 0 reviews and a bought-last-month figure of 0+, there is simply no external signal here yet, positive or negative. That does not mean the product is a poor choice, but it does mean anyone buying it is doing so on the product description and brand name alone, not on any confirmed buyer pattern.
Pros
- Urethane coating and grip design implied by the product name, a different construction than the cast iron plates covered elsewhere in this comparison
- Currently in stock with no listed availability delay
- Priced below the $787 Body-Solid Cast Iron Olympic Weight Plate Set
- A distinct brand and material option, XMASTER urethane, alongside the Fitvids cast iron sets in this comparison
- Grip-style plates like this are typically designed for easier handling off a rack than standard flat cast iron plates
Cons
- Zero reviews on Amazon, the only plate in this comparison with no rating at all
- No listed weight, piece count, or material spec beyond what is in the product name
- Priced at $296, near the top of this comparison, without any review history to justify it
- Bought last month listed at 0+, providing no confirmation of recent sales activity
Performance notes
The product name is really the only spec sheet available here: urethane coating and a grip feature. Urethane-coated plates are typically chosen over bare cast iron because the coating cushions impact against a floor or rack and tends to hold up better cosmetically over time than exposed iron, which is why several higher-end plate lines use it. A grip design usually means cutouts or a handle built into the plate face for easier carrying, a detail aimed at buyers who move plates around a lot rather than loading and leaving them on one bar. But without a listed weight or piece count, there is no way to know how much plate you get for $296, or how it compares on a per-pound basis to the Fitvids cast iron sets in this comparison, which do list that detail.
What buyers say
There is nothing to read here yet. Zero reviews means there is no rating pattern, no volume signal, nothing to compare against the 452 reviews behind the Fitvids POG-2INIP-70SET or even the 2 reviews behind its own XMASTER sibling, the Chrome Steel Plates. A bought-last-month figure of 0+ adds no additional confirmation either. That puts this listing in a genuinely different category from every other plate in this comparison, not a product with mixed or thin feedback, but one with no feedback at all. For a $296 purchase, that is a real gap in available information, and it means any buying decision here rests entirely on the description and price, not on how other buyers have responded.

Frequently asked questions
Are there any reviews for the XMASTER FITNESS Urethane Black Grip Plate?
No. As of this listing, it has zero reviews on Amazon, making it the only plate in this comparison with no rating at all. That means there is no buyer feedback pattern to weigh before purchasing, unlike every other option covered here.
What does the urethane coating add compared to cast iron plates?
Urethane coating typically cushions impact and resists cosmetic wear better than bare cast iron, which is used in the Fitvids sets in this comparison. The tradeoff is usually a higher price, and at $296 this plate costs more than any Fitvids set here.
Is $296 a reasonable price without any reviews to check?
That is a judgment call. It is priced below the $787 Body-Solid Cast Iron Olympic Weight Plate Set but above every Fitvids cast iron set in this comparison. Without reviews or listed specs like weight and piece count, buyers have less to compare it against than usual.
