Overview
Baer’s Fire Red 6T front brake system, part 4261637FR-2, is built for the 2021–2026 Ford Bronco. A six-piston fixed radial-mount caliper and a 13.5 inch vented, slotted rotor make up the core of the kit, and the title excludes Raptor and Sport.
The 5 inch 6T design uses a curved vane rotor that Baer describes as improving cooling. The kit also includes mounting brackets, stainless braided hoses and hardware, and it works with the D1247 pad type.

- Staggered pistons reduce uneven pad wear
- 1-piece slotted and zinc-plated rotor, 1.25 inch thick
- Vented rotor construction with curved vane design
- Caliper manufactured in Phoenix, Az with US sourced forged or billet aluminum
Before you buy
A front brake upgrade is easiest to plan when the wheel, tire and steering clearances are known before the parts arrive. Look at the inner face of the wheel and the space behind the spokes, then compare those dimensions with the template. Tires with a tall sidewall or wheel spacers can reduce clearance, so account for them at the start.
Brake fluid and lines matter as much as the calipers. Fresh fluid of the correct type should be used during the install, and the system should be bled completely. Steel braided lines hold their shape well, but they should still be inspected for chafing or kinks after installation and after each off-road outing where rocks or branches could strike them.
- Measure wheel clearance before mounting the kit
- Use fresh brake fluid and bleed the full system
- Inspect braided lines for chafing after off-road use
- Replace worn pads when the rotor is resurfaced or replaced

Vehicle fitment
The kit fits the 2021–2026 Ford Bronco. Raptor and Sport trims are excluded.
Other Ford models and earlier Bronco generations are not covered by this kit. Wheel fit cannot be promised for every wheel style, so check the wheel against template O080M. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Stock height hoses are included, so lifted Broncos may need longer hoses. Use the template and the 17.0 inch minimum wheel diameter to confirm clearance before the kit is mounted.
