Fits Bmw X1 (U11) (2022-2026)

Brake pad compound

Street: quiet, low-dust, strong cold bite for road driving. Sport: higher temperature range and more bite for fast road and occasional track. Racing: maximum fade resistance for sustained track use (noisier and dustier cold). Match the pad to how hard you actually brake.

Disc size

Caliper colour

Painted colours are included. Polished-forged finishes are mirror-polished forged calipers (Titanium, Gold, Silver); candy colours are a deep, mirror-reflection paint. Both are premium upgrades — fuller detail further down the page.

Painted — includedTell us the exact Pantone (PMS) code you want the calipers painted.Polished forgedCandy
Disc style

Drilled discs (cross-drilled holes) vent gas and water and look aggressive; slotted discs (surface grooves) wipe the pad face clean and resist fade under sustained hard use. Same price — choose on looks or how you drive.

Centre bell

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. Standard anodized is included; a two-tone bell adds an anodized accent ring in your choice of colour; titanium is the lightest, forged option.

Carbon-ceramic rotor

Carbon-ceramic rotors are a special-order track upgrade: far lighter than steel, fade-resistant at extreme temperatures and extremely long-lived. The price follows the disc size you choose above. The standard two-piece steel rotor is included.

XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Bmw X1 (U11) (2022-2026) — 380 mm
380 mm

The U11 generation X1 arrived in 2022 as BMW’s most substantial compact crossover to date, built on the FAAR platform with kerb weights approaching 1,750kg in xDrive form. That mass has to stop somewhere, and on a nose-loaded crossover the front axle carries the lion’s share of braking duty on every approach. The XYZ Racing Hollow front brake kit addresses that load 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 compound choices and caliper finish options that let buyers configure the kit to how the car is actually used.

Three pad compounds are chosen when you order, Street, Sport and Racing, which matters because an X1 that does school runs Monday to Friday and a track day in October has different braking requirements from one that never leaves the dual carriageway. The choice affects bite point, operating temperature range and dust output; picking the right compound from the outset avoids a subsequent pad change before the car has earned it.

What this brake kit does for your 2022-2026 Bmw X1 (U11)

The U11’s elevated ride height and SUV proportions mean weight transfers forward more aggressively under hard braking than it would in a saloon or hatchback of similar mass, and brake balance loads the front axle hardest at exactly that point. Upgrading the front hardware raises the threshold at which fade and inconsistent pedal feel develop, conditions that typically emerge on a long descent or after a sequence of motorway emergency stops in quick succession. The hollow-vane disc routes air through the rotor body to shed heat between events, while the two-piece floating construction lets it expand without distorting, and dropping rotating and unsprung mass at the front sharpens turn-in. Sport pads suit the driver covering fast A-roads and track days without wanting aggressive cold-bite in slow traffic. The Racing compound is for those committing to sustained high-temperature use, where everyday road compounds would begin to lose modulation, and Street keeps the daily commute quiet and low-dust. Included painted caliper colours are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone available, giving the visible hardware a finish that can be as understated or as deliberate as the rest of the build.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

The Hollow front brake kit is XYZ Racing’s front-axle upgrade, built for the U11 platform’s front suspension geometry around a hollow-vane disc and two-piece floating construction. The caliper body is hollow-cast as standard for stiffness without the weight, and a Hollow Racing caliper, with no dust cover, a 1000C rating and a two-year warranty, is available for serious track use. Three pad compounds span the range from Street daily use through Sport fast-road performance to full Racing specification, covering the U11 owner who treats the X1 as a family crossover that occasionally gets driven hard and the one who books two or three track days a year and needs hardware that keeps up. Included painted caliper 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, so the specification is considered from rotor face to caliper body rather than bolted on as an afterthought.

Fitment for the Bmw X1 (U11) (2022-2026)

This front brake kit is designed for the BMW X1 on the U11 platform, covering models produced from 2022 through 2026. The U11 generation spans both sDrive front-wheel drive and xDrive all-wheel drive configurations built on BMW’s FAAR architecture. The kit is a front-axle fitment; rear hardware is not included. Confirm your existing front caliper specification before ordering.

Choosing your spec

Every kit is built to order around the choices you make above. Here is what each option actually changes, so you can spec yours with confidence.

Brake pads — Street, Sport or Racing

Every kit ships with a full set of high-performance pads; the compound is your call.

Street is the right default for fast-road driving — a strong, progressive cold bite with low noise, low dust and long disc life. Sport raises the working temperature and adds bite and fade resistance for hard road use and the occasional track day, while still behaving on a cold morning. Racing is a track compound built for sustained abuse: huge fade resistance and bite once heat is in it, at the cost of more noise and dust when cold. Match the pad to how hard you actually use the brakes — there is no benefit to a race pad that never gets up to temperature.

Caliper grade — Hollow vs Hollow Racing

Hollow is the standard caliper on every kit: a hollow-body forged caliper, lighter than a solid one, fitted with a dust cover and backed by a 5-year oil-leak warranty. For most fast-road and spirited track use it is all the caliper you need.

Hollow Racing is the track-grade upgrade. It runs the same hollow body but without a dust cover (so there is nothing to melt at sustained high temperature), uses a twin-metal piston that isolates heat travelling from the disc to the oil seal, and is rated to 1000°C. Available 286–380mm (front). Warranty is 2 years on oil leaks and 10 years on appearance. Built for professional racing and repeated track days.

Caliper colour & finish

Painted colours (Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, Anodized Black) are included at no cost. Want an exact match to your car? Custom Color (+£150) paints the calipers to any Pantone code you supply (15–20 day lead time).

Polished Forged finishes are the flagship: a forged caliper given a mirror-polished surface treatment that shifts colour with the viewing angle. Beyond the looks, the polished surface dissipates heat better, resists rust and stands up to the weather. Choose Titanium (neochrome, +£350), Polished Gold (+£300) or Polished Silver (+£250). They look their best paired with a titanium centre bell. Care: clean only with a dilute neutral cleaner or water.

Candy colours (+£200) use a deep candy-paint and polishing process for a mirror-reflection, boutique finish — pick Teal, Blue, Red or Orange (shown below right).

Centre bells

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. The standard anodized centre bell is included. The Two-tone bell (+£200) adds an anodized accent ring — choose Red, Yellow, Orange, Purple or Silver right here at checkout. The Titanium centre bell (+£500) is a forged titanium bell (bolts not included) that finishes off the polished-forged look.
