Overview
Rogue HG 2.0 ZEUS Custom Bumper Plates allow athletes and gym owners to personalize Rogue’s popular HG 2.0 plates with custom logos, text, and colors. Using the ZEUS customization tool, users can match their equipment to the branding of their gym, business, or school. These plates maintain the same high-performance standards as the standard HG 2.0 line, including a dead bounce, extreme durability, and a smooth finish. They are officially approved for use with the U.S. Army's Combat Fitness Test (ACFT).

Customization Guidelines (ZEUS)
Logo Placement: Custom designs appear on the top panel of the plate on both the front and back.
Logo Requirements: Users must have the legal right to any uploaded images. Rogue cannot reproduce trademarked/copyrighted logos without permission and reserves the right to reject offensive imagery.
Text: Custom text can be entered directly into the ZEUS menu.
Uniformity: The selected text/graphic color will apply to all plate sizes in the order to maintain a consistent look.
Performance Benefits
Branding & Professionalism: Ideal for affiliates and commercial gyms looking to create a cohesive brand environment.
Low Bounce: The Durometer rating of 88 ensures the barbell stays near the point of drop, improving safety and floor protection.
High Loading Capacity: Thinner than standard economy plates, allowing for higher weight loads (up to 500+ lbs) on the barbell sleeves.
Quiet Performance: The virgin rubber construction dampens noise during drops, a key benefit for residential and close-quartered training environments.
Maintenance and Care
Initial Cleaning: Plates may arrive with a slight oily residue from the mold. Wipe down with a clean cloth before use.
Logo Preservation: Clean the plates using a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive brushes or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can fade or damage the custom graphics.
Storage: Store on a dedicated plate tree or horizontally.
Environment: Avoid long-term exposure to direct sunlight, as UV rays can cause rubber degradation and color fading of the custom text/logos.
Warranty Information
Rogue ZEUS HG 2.0 Bumper Plates are backed by a 3-Year Warranty on the 25LB–55LB plates and a 90-Day Warranty on the 10LB and 15LB plates.
Final Sale: Because these are custom-made products, all sales are final. They are non-returnable and non-refundable unless there is a manufacturing defect in the plate itself.
10LB/15LB Note: These thin plates are not intended to be dropped individually on a bar; doing so can cause warping and will void the warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use different logos for different plate weights?
A: No. The ZEUS tool currently applies the same customization to the entire set to ensure uniformity and production efficiency.
Q: Do these plates smell?
A: Like standard HG 2.0 bumpers, these are made from virgin rubber and have a minimal odor that typically disappears within a few days.
Q: Will the custom graphics peel off?
A: The graphics are applied using a durable process designed for high-repetition gym use. However, normal wear from sliding plates on and off storage pins may occur over time.
Q: How long does shipping take for custom plates?
A: Custom ZEUS orders typically ship within 3–4 weeks, as they are made to order at Rogue’s facility.
