Overview
The Baer Brakes 4261637R-2 is a front 6T brake system kit in Red for the 2021–2026 Ford Bronco. It pairs a six-piston fixed radial-mount caliper with a 13.5 inch vented, slotted rotor, and the title excludes Raptor and Sport models.
Baer builds the kit around a 5 inch 6T caliper with stainless steel pistons, staggered pistons to reduce uneven pad wear, and dual seals for dust, weather and pressure. It uses the common D1247 pad type and comes with mounting brackets, stainless braided hoses and hardware.
Key features
- Red powder coated 6T caliper with six pistons in a fixed, radial-mount design
- Caliper body CNC machined from US sourced forged or billet aluminum
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons to minimize uneven pad wear
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure
- Purpose cast 1-piece slotted and zinc-plated rotor with a curved vane design that Baer says aids cooling and reduces brake fade
- Designed to fit most 17 inch or larger wheels, with a minimum wheel diameter of 17.0 inch
- Steel braided hoses are for stock height vehicles; lifted vehicles may require longer hoses
Before you buy
Brake upgrades on a Bronco change more than stopping distance. A larger caliper and rotor alter the unsprung weight at each corner, and pads and rotors wear at a different rate than stock parts. Before ordering, look at the wheels you run, since spoke design and wheel opening decide whether the caliper clears. Pad choice matters too. Semi-metallic pads generate more heat and dust than organic compounds, which suits frequent towing and hard trail descents but can be louder when cold.
Fresh brake fluid is worth installing with the kit. Old fluid absorbs moisture, which lowers its boiling point and can cause fade on long downhill runs. Inspect the braided hoses after the first few drives, looking for chafing against the suspension or frame. Re-torque the caliper bracket bolts after the first trail outing, and recheck them again after the next few heat cycles.

Vehicle fitment
Baer’s manufacturer fitment list covers the 2021–2026 Ford Bronco. Raptor and Sport models are excluded by the title.
Other Ford models and earlier Bronco years are not covered by this kit. Baer cannot guarantee fit with every aftermarket wheel style, so compare the wheel with the O080M template. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Hoses are supplied for stock height vehicles, so a lifted Bronco may need longer hoses. Check wheel clearance against the O080M template with the 17.0 inch minimum wheel diameter in mind. Brake work should be performed by a technician familiar with hydraulic brake systems.
What’s included
The kit includes the 6T caliper, the 1-piece slotted and zinc-plated rotor, mounting brackets, stainless braided hoses and hardware.
