Caliper render for this kit:

The third-generation HR-V and Vezel brought Honda’s compact crossover platform to a noticeably more committed standard in 2021: tighter body control, sharper responses, a chassis that invites more use than its predecessor. What did not change was the front brake specification, sized for normal crossover loading rather than the sustained thermal demands an enthusiastic FWD car generates through its front axle.
This XYZ Racing front big brake kit closes that gap. It is a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs for the front axle, with the factory rear brakes retained so the balance stays correct, and three pad compounds let you configure the braking character around how you actually use the car.
What this brake kit does for your 2021-2026 Honda HR-V/ VEZEL (FWD)
On a front-wheel-drive layout, weight transfer under hard braking loads the front axle disproportionately, the physics that make front brake specification the highest-value single upgrade on this platform. The hollow-vane disc face improves thermal dissipation over the solid OEM casting, keeping pedal feel and bite consistent when you work the fronts repeatedly rather than occasionally. The two-piece disc pairs a forged alloy centre bell with a floating iron friction ring, reducing rotating and unsprung mass at the front corners without sacrificing the structural rigidity needed to resist warping under heat; less unsprung mass sharpens steering response and improves suspension compliance, a tangible gain on a crossover where the ride and handling balance is already a considered trade-off.
Three pad compounds divide along practical lines: Street is the quiet, low-dust default with improved initial bite over OEM for road use, Sport handles aggressive driving and repeated hard stops, and Racing manages the sustained temperatures a track session generates at the front corners.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
The caliper body is hollow as standard, forged to keep mass down while staying rigid under clamp load. For sustained circuit use, the optional Hollow Racing caliper deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty. The kit is front-axle specific, the correct prioritisation on a FWD car where the front brakes generate the substantial majority of stopping force.
Included painted caliper colours are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black at no extra cost. A Custom Color matched to any Pantone is £150. Premium polished-forged finishes cover Titanium, Polished Gold, and Polished Silver, with candy finishes in Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, and Candy Orange. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and the centre bell can be upgraded to a two-tone anodized finish in five colours or to titanium, all visible through the HR-V’s open alloys and all selectable when you order.
Fitment for the Honda HR-V/ VEZEL (FWD) (2021-2026)
Catalogued for FWD variants of the third-generation Honda HR-V and Vezel built between 2021 and 2026. The FWD-specific listing excludes all-wheel-drive versions of this generation, so confirm your drivetrain before ordering. Coverage runs the full current production span of the platform across both HR-V and Vezel market badging.

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.
