Wilwood 120-17642-RD Tactical Xtreme Direct Mount Disc Brake Caliper - TX6-DM 6-Piston Red

The Wilwood Tactical Xtreme TX6-DM (Part No. 120-17642-RD) is a direct lug mount, six-piston disc brake caliper engineered and purpose-built for severe-duty service on heavy-duty trucks, SUVs, and Class 1, 2, and 3 armored vehicles with a GVWR of up to 14,000 lbs. Finished in a red powder coat, this caliper delivers tactical-level braking performance for the most demanding highway and off-road applications.

Key Features:

• Stress-flow forged aluminum body — six-piston design optimized for maximum strength and minimum weight
• Stainless steel pistons with high-temperature internal bore seals for corrosion resistance and heat management
• Direct lug mount design with specific mount spacing and offset engineered for targeted vehicle platforms
• Compatible with 15.00" diameter rotors and rotor widths up to 1.50"
• Top-loaded brake pads — easy access Type 10120 pads, 0.770" thick, with rigid 0.240" thick backing plates for reduced flex and consistent pad contact
• Stainless steel bridge plates for long-term caliper body protection and reduced pad rattle
• Protected single-bleed design with internal fluid ports — eliminates external brake lines and simplifies the hydraulic circuit
• Red powder coat finish for a clean, durable appearance in demanding environments

The TX6-DM caliper is part of Wilwood's Tactical Xtreme series, designed specifically for extreme-duty vehicle platforms where conventional OEM braking systems fall short. The combination of forged aluminum construction, large pad volume, and heavy-duty rotor compatibility makes this caliper an ideal upgrade for high-GVWR vehicles requiring reliable, fade-resistant stopping power.
