The Magene EXAR GR45 Pro Wheelset XDR (2026) is a modern carbon gravel and all‑road wheelset engineered for riders who want dependable durability on rough surfaces without giving up aero efficiency on faster sections. With a 45mm rim depth and a wider gravel‑optimised profile, the GR45 Pro is designed to carry speed through rolling terrain, stay stable in turbulent crosswinds, and improve comfort when the road turns to gravel.

Unlike wheelsets built from a mix of unrelated parts, the GR45 Pro follows an integrated design approach where rim profile, spoke choice and hub geometry work together. The result is a wheelset that feels responsive when you accelerate, confident when braking hard on descents, and composed on corrugated gravel—ideal for endurance rides, events, and performance‑focused training across Brisbane, Queensland and Australia.

Aero depth with real‑world control

A 45mm rim offers meaningful aerodynamic benefit at typical ride speeds while remaining practical for mixed terrain. The GR45 Pro aims to reduce frontal wind resistance, while keeping torsional and lateral stiffness high enough for efficient power transfer when you surge, climb or sprint.

Wide rim profile for modern gravel tyres

The 32mm external / 25mm internal rim width is designed around modern tyre volumes. With 35c+ tyres, the wider internal width provides better sidewall support, reducing tyre deformation in corners and improving steering precision. It also enables lower tyre pressures, which increases comfort and grip on rough surfaces and helps reduce fatigue on long rides.

Tubeless-ready, no rim tape required

The rim bed is designed with no spoke holes, so it’s tubeless-ready without rim tape. That simplifies setup, reduces potential leak points, and makes tubeless maintenance easier—particularly useful for riders who regularly swap tyres or run sealant year‑round.

Gravel-specific hub and lacing for strength under load

GR45 Pro uses a gravel‑engineered hub layout and spoke configuration:

Front: 24H with a 1:1 lacing approach for balanced braking stability and tension distribution
Rear: 24H with a 2:1 lacing configuration to reinforce drive‑side efficiency while maintaining lateral stiffness

A 36T flat ratchet system delivers fast engagement and a consistent sound profile, with the option to swap to different tooth-count ratchets (a 54T option is noted as available separately). This makes the wheelset feel responsive when accelerating out of corners or powering through short climbs.

Steel spokes for durability on rugged terrain

Instead of carbon spokes, the GR45 Pro uses Pillar Wing 20 steel spokes, chosen for their vibration absorption, impact resistance and field-service practicality—benefits that matter on gravel and all-road riding where durability and repairability are priorities.

UCI approval and lab-tested intent

The wheelset is listed as UCI approved, aligning with performance and safety expectations for competitive use. For riders who want a wheelset that can handle real‑world gravel chaos while still being ready for event day, that added assurance is valuable.
