Will a 49-inch super ultrawide fit on a 160 cm desk?
A 49-inch super ultrawide fits a 160 cm (63 in) desk with about 20 cm of side room, and the 80 cm depth gives the 26-30 inch viewing distance this deep-curve panel needs.
A 160 cm (63 in) desk is the wider European standard, and a 49-inch 32:9 super ultrawide is about 47 inches (120 cm) wide. That leaves roughly 20 cm (7.9 in) of clearance on each side, a clean single-panel fit. The deep 1000R curve most of these panels ship with pulls the edges toward you, which is what makes a panel this wide usable on a desk of this class.

How this is calculated
The 160 cm desk at 80 cm (31.5 in) deep is the right pairing for a 49-inch panel. The super ultrawide stand is wide-spread and consumes about 25-30 cm (10-12 in) of depth, leaving roughly 50 cm (20 in) of keyboard surface and a 66-76 cm (26-30 in) viewing distance. At the 1000R curve the edges of the screen sit about 14 cm (5.5 in) closer than the center, so you want that distance to keep the wrap readable rather than overwhelming.
Verdict
A 49-inch 32:9 super ultrawide is about 47 inches (120 cm) wide against a 160 cm (63 in) surface, leaving roughly 20 cm of clearance per side, a clean single-panel fit. Width takes care of itself. The binding constraint is the 80 cm depth, because the wide-spread super ultrawide stand consumes 25-30 cm and the deep 1000R curve pulls the panel edges about 14 cm closer than the center. That combination wants a 26-30 inch (66-76 cm) viewing distance to keep the wrap readable, which the 80 cm desk delivers. A 160 cm desk is the point where a 49-inch panel stops crowding the surface, and a heavy-duty arm is the upgrade that reclaims the depth the stand consumes if you want the panel pushed back to the wall plane.
