XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Mercedes Benz CL 65 AMG W216 (2006-2013)

The W216 CL 65 AMG hides its mass well until you ask it to stop. With the twin-turbo M275 V12 pouring more than a tonne of torque into the rear axle and a kerb weight comfortably north of two tonnes, this is a grand tourer that gathers speed far faster than its size lets on, and the factory rear brakes were specified for refinement, not for being leaned on hard and often.

The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Mercedes Benz CL 65 AMG W216 attacks the back half of that problem. It adds thermal headroom and a firmer, more repeatable pedal where the standard setup goes long and soft, giving a heavy V12 coupé the rear-axle braking authority to match its pace on a fast B-road or a sustained downhill autobahn run.

What this brake kit does for your 2006-2013 Mercedes Benz CL 65 AMG W216

On a car this heavy, the rear brakes do more than trim speed; they anchor the back end under hard deceleration and keep the W216 settled when you brake deep into a corner. The two-piece floating disc sheds heat faster than the solid factory rotor, so the pedal stays firm through a run of stops from three-figure speeds instead of fading into a long, vague travel. The Street, Sport and Racing pad compounds let you match bite and temperature range to how you actually use the car: quiet and progressive for motorway miles, a sharper Sport pad for fast roads and the odd track day, or the Racing compound when you press on harder still. The result you feel is a shorter, more confident stop and a rear axle that stays composed rather than squirming.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

This is a bolt-on rear upgrade for the W216 platform built around a two-piece floating disc and a hollow-body forged caliper as standard. The disc’s friction ring floats on an alloy bell and its vanes draw air across the friction faces to pull heat out under sustained load, precisely the failure point on a two-tonne car stopped hard and repeatedly. The larger, more rigid caliper clamps the pad more evenly than the standard rear unit, which firms up the pedal and keeps pad wear consistent over a session. Buyers pick from three pad compounds: Street for refined road use, Sport for harder road and occasional track, and Racing for high-temperature track work. Painted caliper finishes come in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone for a small upcharge and premium polished-forged or candy options, so the upgrade reads as deliberate through the spokes of a big AMG wheel.
