XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Bmw X1 F48 (2016-2026)

The F48 X1 sits on BMW’s UKL2 platform, the same front-wheel-drive architecture that underpins the F56 Mini, which means the front axle carries the majority of braking duty whether your car is sDrive or xDrive. On a compact premium crossover built to cover ground quickly, the factory hardware is calibrated for a wide market: adequate for normal use, but the first thing you notice when the F48’s surprisingly capable chassis starts getting pushed.

This XYZ Racing Hollow front brake kit addresses that directly. It is a single-axle kit, a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating front discs for the left and right corners, with three pad compounds spanning Street through Sport to Racing, and a full caliper finish range for buyers who want the upgrade visible through open-spoke alloys.

What this brake kit does for your 2016-2026 BMW X1 F48

The hollow-vane disc sheds rotating and unsprung mass from the front corners, which matters on a front-biased platform where the front wheels are simultaneously managing braking, steering and, in sDrive variants, drive. The improved thermal capacity keeps the front end consistent across repeated hard applications: corner-entry on a demanding back road, or successive braking zones on a circuit day, and the two-piece floating disc expands without distorting to keep the pad in flat contact. Brake balance loads the front hardest under heavy stops, so this is where the kit concentrates its capacity. Three pad compounds let you match the kit to how the car gets used: Street stays close to OE feel with low dust for daily driving, Sport sharpens bite and widens the heat range without demanding a heat cycle, and Racing is calibrated for sustained temperatures standard pads are not built to handle. Included painted caliper colours are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone available.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

XYZ Racing’s Hollow front brake kit is built around a hollow-vane disc: an internal geometry that reduces disc mass while improving airflow through the rotor body, paired with a two-piece floating construction. That combination lowers unsprung weight at the front axle and increases the system’s ability to shed heat between applications, the two factors that most directly determine how a brake kit performs after the third hard stop, not just the first. The caliper body is hollow-cast as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing caliper, no dust cover, a 1000C rating and a two-year warranty, for serious track use. The three compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, cover genuine daily use through to repeated on-circuit work without forcing the buyer to choose between driveability and fade resistance. Included painted finishes are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone for £150 and premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver plus candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and centre bells can be two-tone anodized in five colours or titanium. For the F48 X1 specifically, where the front axle already works harder than its crossover brief suggests, that thermal headroom is the point.

Fitment for the BMW X1 F48 (2016-2026)

This front brake kit is listed for the BMW X1 F48, covering the full second-generation production run from 2016 through 2026. The F48 spans both sDrive and xDrive drivetrain configurations across a range of engine variants. Confirm your existing front rotor diameter and caliper carrier dimensions against the kit specification before ordering, as brake hardware can vary across model years within the F48 family.
