XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Hyundai TUCSON (2016-2021)

The third-generation Tucson, Hyundai’s TL platform running from 2016 to 2021, is a genuinely heavy machine, and the AWD CRDi variants sit at the heavier end of a class that asks considerably more of front brakes than a saloon of similar power would. That mass, combined with the tall ride height and the pronounced nose-dive it produces under hard braking, concentrates substantial load at the front axle on any serious stop. The factory disc spec is calibrated for family driving, motorway runs and perhaps some light towing. Push beyond that envelope, a sustained alpine descent, repeated hard stops from motorway speed, or pulling close to the Tucson’s tow limit, and the OE hardware reaches its margins quickly.

This XYZ Racing front big brake kit replaces the front setup with hollow-vane two-piece floating discs and an uprated caliper. It is a front-axle kit, a matched left and right pair, offered in three pad compounds and a full range of caliper colours. It is the upgrade for owners who want the front braking to match what the car is actually being asked to do.

What this brake kit does for your 2016-2021 Hyundai TUCSON

The Tucson’s higher centre of gravity amplifies nose-dive under hard braking in a way that puts the front discs under sustained, concentrated load, more so than in a lower, lighter car. The hollow-vane disc dissipates heat more effectively than a solid item by routing air through its internal structure, which keeps pedal feel firm rather than softening progressively as temperatures climb through repeated stops, and the two-piece floating design keeps the disc flat as it heats. Three compounds let you match the friction material to use case: Street is the quiet, low-dust default with improved fade resistance over OE; Sport suits owners who want a more assertive response on a spirited B-road run; Racing covers track days or the kind of sustained mountain-pass driving that taxes stock hardware. Caliper finishes run from Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost through to a Custom Color in any Pantone, so the visual upgrade reads through open-spoke alloys as clearly as it registers at the pedal.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

The hollow-vane disc reduces unsprung mass at the front corners while maintaining the thermal capacity a heavier SUV’s braking loads demand, and you can specify it drilled or slotted at the same price. In a vehicle of the Tucson’s weight, that thermal headroom matters: solid discs accumulating heat under repeated hard stops can warp or trigger pad glazing, neither of which announces itself at a convenient moment. The caliper is a hollow-body forging as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track use that drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. The kit is front-axle specific, reflecting where braking forces concentrate in a nose-heavy all-wheel-drive layout. Caliper colour extends beyond the painted set to premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver and candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange, with two-tone or titanium centre bells, all selectable at checkout.

Fitment for the Hyundai TUCSON (2016-2021)
