Caliper render for this kit:

The Kodiaq’s kerb weight sits north of 1,700kg in standard form, and the 4×4 variants push considerably higher. Every time you scrub speed from motorway pace or work the brakes hard on a loaded Alpine descent, that mass loads the front discs in ways the factory hardware was calibrated for in controlled conditions, not sustained hard use. This XYZ Racing front kit replaces the pinch point with hardware that offers greater thermal capacity and progressive, fade-resistant bite. It is a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating front discs, and it leaves the rear axle as it is.
From the 150PS 1.4 TSI to the 240PS RS bi-turbo diesel, the Kodiaq’s front axle absorbs the bulk of braking load in every stop. The two-piece floating disc is the key distinction here: it moves heat out of the friction surface faster than a one-piece OE disc in the situations where stock setups typically lose their edge, repeated late braking, a long mountain descent, or sustained use where the discs never fully cool between events.
What this brake kit does for your 2016-2026 Skoda KODIAQ
On a vehicle of the Kodiaq’s size and weight, front brake fade is not an abstract risk; it is a predictable outcome when the hardware is undersized for the task. Larger swept area at the front translates directly into stronger, more consistent bite from the first stop to the twentieth. The two-piece floating disc keeps surface temperatures more even across extended braking sequences, preserving the pad-to-disc interface before it degrades, and the reduced rotating and unsprung mass sharpens turn-in on a tall body. Three pad compounds let you match the performance envelope to your actual driving: Street is the quiet, low-dust default, Sport raises the thermal ceiling for fast-road use, and Racing is the dedicated circuit compound for track days. Caliper finish runs from the included Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black at no extra cost, through any Pantone as a Custom Color, to premium polished-forged and candy options, so the installation can be as visible or as understated as the rest of the car.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, a forged construction that keeps mass down without losing clamping rigidity, and serious track users can specify the optional Hollow Racing caliper, which deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty. The two-piece floating disc draws air through the rotor during rotation to actively manage heat rather than simply absorbing it, which keeps surface temperature more even across extended braking, critical on a heavy SUV where a single long descent can generate the kind of heat that pushes conventional vented discs into fade. Three compounds reflect genuinely different envelopes: Street for everyday mixed use, Sport for drivers working the car harder on fast roads, and Racing for circuit and track-day use. Discs are available drilled or slotted at the same price, and the centre bells can be upgraded to a two-tone anodized finish in five colours or to titanium, all selectable when you order.
Fitment for the Skoda KODIAQ (2016-2026)
This kit covers the Skoda Kodiaq across the full 2016-2026 production span, encompassing both the original generation and post-facelift variants. The Kodiaq’s MQB-derived front suspension provides consistent brake mounting geometry throughout the model run, so fitment applies across drivetrain specifications, front-wheel-drive and 4×4 variants alike. Confirm your exact trim level and disc specification against the product selector before ordering.

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.
