The Magene EXAR Ultra Series 2025 DB607 is the flagship deep-section wheelset in Magene’s updated lineup. It is specifically engineered for high-speed cruising and flat-road performance, utilizing a staggered rim depth and carbon spokes to achieve an impressive balance between aerodynamics and weight.
## Core Specifications
The DB607 follows the “lower front, higher rear” design philosophy to maximize rear-wheel inertia while maintaining front-wheel handling in crosswinds.
| Attribute | Specification |
| Rim Height | Front: 60mm / Rear: 67mm |
| Rim Width | External: 32mm (Front) / 30mm (Rear) |
| Internal Width | 23mm (Optimized for 28c–32c tires) |
| Weight | ~1460g (±3%, excluding tape/valves) |
| Spokes | HI-MOD Carbon Fiber (VONOA) |
| Bearings | Ceramic |
| Hub Ratchet | 36T Flat Ratchet (DT Swiss compatible) |
| Tire Type | Tubeless & Clincher (Hooked) |
### Key Technologies
-
VONOA Carbon Spokes: Each spoke weighs just 2.8g. They are 30% lighter than high-end steel spokes and offer significantly higher tensile strength, resulting in a wheelset that feels exceptionally stiff and responsive under power.
-
Aerodynamic Optimization: The 2025 model features wider, flatter carbon spokes and a wider external rim profile (32mm at the front). When paired with 28mm tires, this creates a nearly seamless surface that reduces drag and improves crosswind stability.
-
Hybrid Rim Design: By using a 60mm front and 67mm rear, Magene attempts to provide the aero benefits of a deep-dish wheelset without the “twitchy” steering usually associated with 60mm+ front wheels.
-
UCI Approved: The Ultra series has passed UCI impact tests (40J energy), making it legal and safe for professional-level racing.
### Performance Profile
-
Stiffness: Due to the carbon spokes and high-modulus carbon rim, these wheels are noted for being “ultra-stiff.” This provides immediate power transfer but can feel harsher on very rough roads compared to steel-spoked wheels.
-
Engagement: The 36T flat ratchet system provides quick engagement. It is compatible with the DT Swiss system, making maintenance and tooth-count upgrades (e.g., to 54T) straightforward.
-
Maintenance: The 2025 version uses hidden nipples inside the rim. While this looks cleaner and is more aerodynamic, it does mean you have to remove the tire and rim tape to true the wheel.
Note: The package typically includes the wheelset, tubeless rim tape, rim plugs (for weight saving with clinchers), and tubeless valves.
