XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Mercedes Benz GLB 250 X247 (2019-2026)

Tall, square-shouldered and built on Mercedes’ MFA2 front-drive architecture, the GLB 250 X247 asks more of its rear axle than its lower, lighter hatchback relatives ever did. Load it across all three rows, hook up a trailer, or lean on it down a long alpine descent and the standard rear brakes are the first components to soak up heat they were never really sized to enjoy. The XYZ Racing Rear Big Brake Kit for the Mercedes Benz GLB 250 X247 (2019-2026) exists to close that thermal gap.

This is a rear-axle upgrade built around brake balance and stamina rather than a chase for headline stopping numbers. Supplied as a matched pair of rear calipers and rear discs, it lets a choice of Street, Sport or Racing pad compounds set the back of the car to how it is actually used: school run and motorway commute one week, a fully loaded family trip or a brisk cross-country run the next.

What this brake kit does for your 2019-2026 Mercedes Benz GLB 250 X247

On a nose-heavy compact SUV like the GLB, the rear brakes usually play a supporting role, which is precisely why upgrading them sharpens the car in ways you feel rather than read about. A more thermally capable rear axle resists fade when you string several hard stops together, so the pedal stays consistent on a long downhill or a spirited drive. The three pad compounds let you bias the setup: Street for quiet, low-dust daily running; Sport for firmer bite and a wider heat range on fast-road use; Racing for the highest-temperature track work. Stronger, more predictable rear retardation also settles the body under trail braking into a corner, trimming the rearward squat and helping the GLB turn in with more composure than its ride height suggests. Front-and-rear balance, in other words, becomes something you can rely on once the standard rears would have started to wilt.

About the rear big brake kit

XYZ Racing build this as a complete rear big brake kit rather than a pad-and-fluid tweak, replacing the standard rear setup as a matched pair of calipers and two-piece floating discs. Lightening the disc reduces unsprung and rotating mass at the rear axle, which helps the dampers control the wheel over broken British surfaces and takes a small load off the drivetrain; the ring can be drilled or slotted at the same price. Pad compound is where you set the character: Street keeps things civil and clean-wheeled, Sport trades a little dust for stronger bite and heat range, and Racing is there for owners who genuinely reach trackday temperatures. The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade (no dust cover, rated to 1000C, two-year warranty) for hard track use. Painted caliper colours, Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, are included at no cost; a Custom Color in any Pantone is GBP 150, and premium polished-forged finishes (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver), candy finishes (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange) and two-tone or titanium centre bells are all available. It is a vehicle-specific fitment, matched to the X247 rear axle rather than adapted from a one-size bracket.
