With a \u003cstrong\u003e40 mm front \/ 45 mm rear\u003c\/strong\u003e rim profile, it targets the sweet spot between climbing efficiency and aerodynamic assistance—ideal for rolling Brisbane routes, windy coastal loops, and long endurance rides across Queensland and Australia. This wheelset is designed specifically for \u003cstrong\u003edisc brake road bikes\u003c\/strong\u003e, featuring a modern wide rim profile and premium components through the hub and spoke system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIntegrated design for quicker acceleration and efficient power transfer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagene’s Ultra platform uses an integrated approach to maximise stiffness while controlling weight. The rims and spokes use \u003cstrong\u003eHI‑MOD T800 carbon fibre\u003c\/strong\u003e, aiming to deliver a direct feel when you jump on the pedals, surge out of corners, or climb out of the saddle. The lighter rim depths also help the wheelset spin up quickly, making it well suited to riders who value acceleration and responsiveness as much as top‑end speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLow front \/ higher rear concept for stability and speed retention\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DB405 follows the Ultra series design strategy of a \u003cstrong\u003elower front rim and slightly higher rear rim\u003c\/strong\u003e. The intent is to keep front‑wheel handling calm and controllable while the rear wheel supports momentum and efficiency. For riders dealing with variable crosswinds or gusty conditions, this split depth helps balance confidence and pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e30 mm wide rims tuned for 28–32c tyres\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rim profile is built around modern tyre widths, with a \u003cstrong\u003e30 mm external width\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e23 mm internal width\u003c\/strong\u003e. The suggested tyre range of \u003cstrong\u003e28–32c\u003c\/strong\u003e supports a flatter tyre‑to‑rim interface, improving comfort and maintaining stable handling without sacrificing aero efficiency. The rim is \u003cstrong\u003ehooked\u003c\/strong\u003e and compatible with both \u003cstrong\u003etubeless and clincher\u003c\/strong\u003e setups, allowing you to choose between lower‑pressure tubeless comfort or the simplicity of tubes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCarbon spokes and balanced lacing for stiffness\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wheelset uses \u003cstrong\u003eHI‑MOD T800 carbon fibre spokes\u003c\/strong\u003e with a \u003cstrong\u003e2:1 balanced lacing pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e intended to distribute spoke tension effectively, particularly at the rear wheel where drivetrain forces are highest.

Engagement is handled by a \u003cstrong\u003e36‑tooth flat ratchet\u003c\/strong\u003e, designed for reliable pickup and durability via a larger contact surface.
