XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Honda ODYSSEY 3.5 RL5 (USA) (2011-2017)

The fifth-generation Odyssey RL5 carries the better part of two tonnes on a front-biased V6 platform, which leaves the rear axle doing quiet, thankless work until the day it doesn’t: a long alpine descent, a loaded boot, a trailer on the hitch. The XYZ Racing rear brake kit is built for exactly those moments, adding rear braking capacity to a heavy people-carrier that was never specced for repeated hard stops.

This is a pair of rear calipers and discs, left and right, for the 2011-2017 Honda Odyssey, pairing a two-piece floating disc with a caliper and a choice of pad compound. It is the part you fit when the standard rear setup starts to fade under heat and you want the back of the car to keep pulling its weight.

What this brake kit does for your 2011-2017 Honda Odyssey

On a vehicle this heavy, rear brake heat is the enemy, and the kit’s larger disc gives you more thermal mass to soak it up before fade sets in. You will notice it most where the standard Odyssey rear brakes struggle: holding speed down a long gradient, hauling a full eight-seat load, or working hard after a motorway slip road. The hollow-vane disc design trims rotating mass at the rear, so the back axle feels a little less inert and pedal response firms up under repeated use. Choose the Racing compound and the rear bites harder and recovers faster from heat; the Street pad keeps things quieter and dust-light for the school run, while Sport sits in between for harder road work. Braided lines hold the pedal firm under heat. The result is a brake balance that stays consistent rather than drifting forward as the rear discs cook.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

XYZ Racing’s rear brake kit is built around a two-piece floating disc, hollow-vane internally to shed weight without giving up the swept area a heavy minivan needs. The kit is a rear-axle package of disc, caliper and pads, built to fit the RL5 Odyssey in place of the factory rear brakes. Pads come in three compounds, Street for quiet, low-dust daily manners, Sport for a firmer everyday bite and wider heat range, and Racing for sustained high-temperature work, so you can match the rear to how the van is actually used. The caliper is hollow-body as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade for hard use that drops the dust cover, takes a 1000C rating and carries a two-year warranty. Calipers are offered in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a custom Pantone colour and premium polished-forged (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver) or candy (Teal, Blue, Red, Orange) finishes, which counts for more than it sounds on a car where the rear wheels sit in plain view. The whole kit is aimed at owners who load their Odyssey hard and want rear braking that holds its character rather than wilting on the third or fourth firm stop.

Fitment for the Honda Odyssey (2011-2017)

This kit is cut for the Honda Odyssey 3.5 RL5 (USA), the fifth-generation V6 minivan built from 2011 to 2017. It is a rear-position fitment, so it complements rather than replaces a front upgrade. Confirm your chassis is the RL5 USA-market car before ordering, as other Odyssey generations and markets use different rear hardware.
