Caliper render for this kit:
The second-generation XC60 carries serious mass, comfortably over 1.8 tonnes before passengers, and nudging two with the T8 plug-in hybrid’s battery pack sitting back over the rear axle. That weight has to be scrubbed off by the rear brakes far more than most owners assume, whether you are holding speed down a long alpine descent or towing a loaded trailer. This XYZ Racing Rear Brake Kit for the Volvo XC60 MK2 (2017-2026) goes straight at the rear axle, swapping the factory setup for a larger, lighter pair of calipers and discs built to take repeated heavy stops without cooking.
It is a single-axle rear kit, so it slots in alongside a front upgrade or stands alone to rebalance a car that leans hard on its front discs from the factory. Pad compound runs from Street through Sport to a full Racing compound, so you can match the kit to daily SPA-platform commuting, fast-road duty, or a heavily loaded track day.
What this brake kit does for your 2017-2026 Volvo XC60 MK2
The vented, two-piece rotor construction trims rotational and unsprung mass at the rear corners, which a near-two-tonne SUV feels as a slightly more settled rear axle over mid-corner bumps. Larger discs and more thermal capacity mean the rear brakes shrug off the heat that builds on sustained descents, so pedal travel stays consistent instead of going long when the standard discs glaze. Stepping up to the Sport or Racing pad compound sharpens initial bite and holds friction at temperatures the OE pads were never meant to see, useful on the T8, where regen blending already complicates how the rear brakes behave. Choosing a rear kit also shifts braking bias rearward, taking some load off the hard-worked front discs. Calipers come painted at no extra cost in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black, with Custom Color and premium finishes available to suit the car.
About the Rear Brake Kit
The kit centres on a two-piece floating disc, where an alloy bell carries a vented friction ring that is lightened internally to cut weight while keeping the swept face and ventilation needed to manage heat. The ring floats on the bell so it can expand under load without coning or cracking. It clamps onto a forged caliper, hollow-bodied as standard, with a Hollow Racing option rated to 1000C and carrying a two-year warranty for serious track use, fed by your selected pad compound and firmed up by the braided stainless lines supplied. Three friction options cover the full use spread: a Street pad for owners who want stronger, fade-resistant stopping with no daily-driving compromise, a Sport compound for fast-road and spirited use, and a Racing compound for track work where outright heat tolerance matters most. Everything is sized specifically for the rear of the XC60 MK2 rather than adapted from a generic fitment, so the rotor diameter and caliper mounting suit the SPA-platform rear hub. The result is a rear brake kit that adds capacity and consistency without forcing you to commit to a single, narrow use case.
Fitment for the Volvo XC60 MK2 (2017-2026)
This kit fits the second-generation (MK2) Volvo XC60 across the full 2017 to 2026 model span, mounting to the rear axle. It is engineered around the SPA-platform rear hub and brake geometry shared across this generation. Confirm your pad compound, disc style and caliper finish when you order, and pair with a matching front kit if you want a fully balanced upgrade. 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.

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 330–356mm (rear). 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.
