Caliper render for this kit:
The X222 Maybach arrives at the kerb carrying north of two tonnes, depending on factory specification. That is a serious thermal demand for any braking system, and while the OE setup on the W222/X222 generation handles normal road work with composure, sustained fast-road use, or the effortless pace the S650’s V12 invites, builds rotor temperatures that standard pads find increasingly uncomfortable. The XYZ Racing front brake kit answers that at the front axle, where the heaviest braking load falls.
This is a single-axle kit: a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs for the left and right front corners. Three pad compounds are available, covering low-dust city duty through to a compound that builds grip fast once at temperature, and the caliper finishes are no afterthought on a Maybach. The X222’s large-diameter wheels leave those calipers in full view, and bespoke specification sits at the centre of what it means to own this car.
What this brake kit does for your 2015-2026 Mercedes Benz S Class X222 Maybach
Stopping a two-tonne-plus limousine from high speed generates heat at a rate OE hardware manages conservatively. The hollow-vane disc draws air through the rotor body and, with the kit’s larger swept area, raises the fade threshold so pedal feel stays consistent under loads that push standard pads toward the onset of fade. The two-piece floating disc rides on an alloy centre bell that pares back unsprung and rotating mass, which suits the Maybach’s air-suspension calibration rather than fighting it. Street compound is the sensible starting point, effective from cold, low dust, with a progressive bite that complements the car’s character. Sport adds heat range and bite for owners who drive harder, and Racing is the full circuit compound for anyone using the car faster than the standard brief intended. Braided stainless lines keep the pedal firm as temperatures climb, giving real control on a car where every detail is part of the specification.
About the Front Brake Kit
The disc is an internally vented, hollow-vane construction that channels more air through the rotor body than a conventional vented disc, lowering both peak and sustained temperatures under hard use. That thermal headroom benefits whichever pad compound is fitted, keeping friction material in its effective range and reducing the pedal-travel variation overheated pads bring. The forged caliper is hollow-bodied as standard. Painted finishes are included at no extra cost in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, or Anodized Black, with a Custom Color matched to any Pantone for £150. For a true showpiece there are polished-forged finishes in Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, and candy finishes in Teal, Blue, Red and Orange. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, two-tone centre bells in five anodized colours or titanium, and a Hollow Racing upgrade is available for the track, removing the dust cover, rated to 1000C with a two-year warranty. Every choice is specified when you order.

Choosing your spec
Every kit is built to order around the choices you make above. Here is what each option actually changes, so you can spec yours with confidence.
Brake pads — Street, Sport or Racing
Every kit ships with a full set of high-performance pads; the compound is your call.
Street is the right default for fast-road driving — a strong, progressive cold bite with low noise, low dust and long disc life. Sport raises the working temperature and adds bite and fade resistance for hard road use and the occasional track day, while still behaving on a cold morning. Racing is a track compound built for sustained abuse: huge fade resistance and bite once heat is in it, at the cost of more noise and dust when cold. Match the pad to how hard you actually use the brakes — there is no benefit to a race pad that never gets up to temperature.
Caliper grade — Hollow vs Hollow Racing
Hollow is the standard caliper on every kit: a hollow-body forged caliper, lighter than a solid one, fitted with a dust cover and backed by a 5-year oil-leak warranty. For most fast-road and spirited track use it is all the caliper you need.
Hollow Racing is the track-grade upgrade. It runs the same hollow body but without a dust cover (so there is nothing to melt at sustained high temperature), uses a twin-metal piston that isolates heat travelling from the disc to the oil seal, and is rated to 1000°C. Available 286–380mm (front). Warranty is 2 years on oil leaks and 10 years on appearance. Built for professional racing and repeated track days.
Caliper colour & finish
Painted colours (Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, Anodized Black) are included at no cost. Want an exact match to your car? Custom Color (+£150) paints the calipers to any Pantone code you supply (15–20 day lead time).
Polished Forged finishes are the flagship: a forged caliper given a mirror-polished surface treatment that shifts colour with the viewing angle. Beyond the looks, the polished surface dissipates heat better, resists rust and stands up to the weather. Choose Titanium (neochrome, +£350), Polished Gold (+£300) or Polished Silver (+£250). They look their best paired with a titanium centre bell. Care: clean only with a dilute neutral cleaner or water.
Candy colours (+£200) use a deep candy-paint and polishing process for a mirror-reflection, boutique finish — pick Teal, Blue, Red or Orange (shown below right).
Centre bells
The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. The standard anodized centre bell is included. The Two-tone bell (+£200) adds an anodized accent ring — choose Red, Yellow, Orange, Purple or Silver right here at checkout. The Titanium centre bell (+£500) is a forged titanium bell (bolts not included) that finishes off the polished-forged look.
