Overview
The 4261637HO-2 is a Hugger Orange 6T front brake kit for the 2021–2026 Ford Bronco, excluding Raptor and Sport versions. Six pistons in a fixed radial-mount caliper squeeze a 13.5 inch vented rotor on each front hub.
The kit is a 5 inch 6T system with a curved vane rotor design that Baer says improves cooling and reduces brake fade. It comes with brackets, steel braided hoses and hardware, and it is set up for the D1247 pad type.
Key features
- Hugger Orange powder coated finish on the 6T caliper
- Six-piston, fixed radial-mount caliper design
- Curved vane rotor design for cooling, consistent braking and reduced brake fade
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure
- 1-piece slotted and zinc-plated vented rotor, 1.25 inch thick
- Designed to fit most 17 inch or larger wheels
- Hoses are for stock height vehicles and may need extending on lifted trucks
On the trail
Off-road use puts brakes under conditions that street driving rarely produces. Mud, sand and gravel can pack behind the rotor and around the caliper, and water crossings can wet the pads and cool the rotor quickly. Both situations can make braking feel inconsistent until the components dry out. Rinsing the wheel area after muddy runs and inspecting the dust seals on the caliper help keep these conditions from building up.
Long descents are the harder test. Repeated braking heats the rotor and pads, and a system with a larger caliper can handle that load more steadily than stock parts. Still, brake fluid, pad condition and hose integrity all matter. After a demanding day, check the pads for glazing, look for fluid seepage at the hose fittings, and confirm the pedal stays firm before the next trip.

Vehicle fitment
The kit fits the 2021–2026 Ford Bronco. Raptor and Sport models are excluded.
Other Ford models and older Bronco years are outside this fitment. Baer does not guarantee fit with every wheel style, so compare your wheel against template O080M before ordering. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Because hoses are sized for stock height, a lifted Bronco may need a longer hose set. Confirm wheel clearance first, keeping the 17.0 inch minimum wheel diameter in mind. A qualified brake technician should handle the installation.
What’s included
The kit covers the Hugger Orange 6T caliper, the rotor, mounting brackets, stainless braided hoses and hardware.
