XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Bmw IX1 U11 4WD (2022-2026)

The BMW iX1 U11 4WD tips the scales at over 2,000 kg, and its dual electric motors deliver their combined 494 Nm in one seamless surge with no rev-build delay to soften the blow. Regenerative braking absorbs the majority of everyday deceleration, which means the friction brakes sit cool and relatively dormant for most journeys, until a fast A-road descent or an Alpine hairpin sequence puts sudden, sustained heat through the front axle that the stock setup was never specifically sized to handle.

This XYZ Racing Hollow front brake kit addresses that gap at the front axle. It is a single-axle kit, a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating front discs for the left and right corners. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, let you match friction characteristics to how the iX1 is actually used, and a wide caliper colour range lets the installation sit cleanly inside the U11’s generous alloy openings.

What this brake kit does for your 2022-2026 Bmw IX1 U11 4WD

The hollow-vane disc carries less rotating and unsprung mass than a conventional solid-cast disc. On a car already managing substantial battery weight through the suspension, reducing what the front axle has to control mid-corner is a genuine dynamic improvement. The more pressing gain on the iX1, though, is thermal: the hollow rotor body routes air through internal vanes more efficiently than a solid face, so the front discs cycle through heat more effectively when repeated hard stops arrive in quick succession, and the two-piece floating construction lets the disc expand without distorting against the bell. Brake balance loads the front axle hardest under heavy deceleration, so it is the right place to add capacity. The Sport compound handles the intermittent high-load inputs typical of spirited road use, while the Racing grade sustains consistent bite across longer, hotter braking events for drivers who take the iX1 to track days, increasingly possible as UK circuits continue to open sessions to electric vehicles. Street keeps the daily commute quiet and low-dust, and ride and refinement on normal roads are unaffected.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

XYZ Racing’s Hollow front brake kit takes its name from the hollow-vane disc design that separates it from a straightforward disc replacement. The hollow construction reduces rotor mass where it matters most for steering response and suspension compliance, rotating weight at the wheel end, without cutting the rigidity the rotor needs to resist warp across thermal cycling, and the two-piece floating disc grows cleanly under heat. 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. On the iX1, where friction brakes handle abrupt, high-energy inputs rather than the gradual stops a petrol car sees, rotor integrity under rapid heating and cooling is a specific concern, and this design suits that pattern. Included painted caliper colours 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. Pad compound, disc style and caliper colour are chosen when you order.

Fitment for the Bmw IX1 U11 4WD (2022-2026)

This front brake kit is developed for the BMW iX1 in U11 generation, xDrive 4WD specification, covering model years 2022 to 2026. Confirm your build date and drivetrain variant before ordering, as the front caliper mounting and hub geometry on the 4WD platform differs from FWD U11 derivatives, and fitment is specific to this chassis.
