XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Volkswagen AMAROK 2.0 TDI (2011-2016)

The Amarok is a ladder-frame pickup that tips the scales well past two tonnes before you add a payload or hitch a trailer, and on a nose-heavy diesel that mass lands squarely on the front axle every time you brake. The XYZ Racing Hollow front big brake kit for the Volkswagen Amarok 2.0 TDI is built to give that overworked front end the thermal headroom the standard setup runs out of on a loaded descent.

Where the factory front discs start to fade after a few hard stops down a grade with a van load or a braked trailer behind you, this kit adds disc mass and a two-piece floating disc face that sheds heat between applications. It is a front-axle upgrade, a matched pair of front calipers and discs, aimed at the Amarok owner who actually works the truck rather than parks it.

What this brake kit does for your 2011-2016 Volkswagen Amarok 2.0 TDI

The gain you feel first is a firmer, more repeatable pedal when the brakes are hot. On a heavy diesel pickup the front discs carry the bulk of the load transfer, and the larger Hollow discs in this kit hold more heat before pad performance drops off, so stopping distances stay consistent towing and unladen alike. Three pad compound choices let you match the truck to its job: the Street compound for quiet, low-dust everyday road use, the Sport compound for a firmer bite and wider heat range when you regularly run loaded, and the Racing compound where track-level heat tolerance matters most. The disc face is available drilled or slotted at the same price; either choice clears gas and water from the pad, which keeps the first stop after a river crossing or a wet morning as honest as the tenth.

About the Hollow front brake kit

The kit pairs an enlarged two-piece floating front disc with a hollow-body fixed multi-piston caliper, replacing the single-piston sliding arrangement the Amarok leaves the factory with. The "Hollow" name comes from the hollow-body caliper and the lightened, floating disc, which trims rotating mass and gives trapped heat and brake dust a path to escape rather than glazing the pad; the floating bell manages thermal expansion. Discs are available drilled or slotted at the same price. The fixed caliper clamps the pad evenly across a larger swept area, which both raises torque and spreads the thermal load so no single point on the disc cooks. Painted calipers are included at no cost in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black, with a Custom Color in any Pantone at £150 and premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold or Polished Silver plus candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange; centre bells can be upgraded to two-tone anodizing in five colours or titanium, and a Hollow Racing caliper rated to 1000C is offered for the hardest use, so the kit reads as deliberate behind an aftermarket wheel. Compound is specified at point of order from the Street, Sport and Racing options, letting you set the truck up for commuting, working or harder use without changing any hardware later.

Fitment for the Volkswagen Amarok 2.0 TDI (2011-2016)

This is a front-axle kit for the Volkswagen Amarok 2.0 TDI built between 2011 and 2016, supplied as a left-and-right pair. It addresses the front brakes only, where the load transfer and the heat concentrate on this drivetrain. Confirm your wheel clearance against the caliper before ordering, as a big brake kit needs room behind the spokes.
