Moyu Aolong V2

This is the 57 mm version of the Aolong it’s a very nice speed cube and it’s between the $12 and $15 dollars

It corner-cuts more than 45 degrees and the inverse corner cutting is about two-thirds of a cubie, It is very fast and depending on your style it can become uncontrollable, right now I don’t have loose tensions and it’s not so lubricated.

Right out of the box, it has regular tensions and isn’t pre-lubricated. By the way, it has a scratchy and crispy feeling and blocks doesn’t happen too much. I haven’t had any pops with this cube, and I have only experienced a couple of corner twisting with this tensions (with a pair of weeks using it).

As you probably know, one of the main reason Moyu made this cube is because the version 1 had very serious problems with corner twisting, this impacted so much when Feliks Zemdegs beat the world record of a single 3x3x3 solve, but unfortunately it was a DNF because at the last moment he involuntary twisted one corner, that time he got a 5.33 seconds solve. So then, Moyu took out this strengthened version 2 of the Aolong.

The color scheme is pretty good; it’s the same scheme that Moyu uses with almost all of its cubes. I personally really like them, they are attractive but for some people they may appear to irritating, the stock stickers have some imperfections, as you can see in a photo bellow, they have some little bubbles. But the stickers are not what really matters on a cube, by the other way, its performance is what we have to evaluate, it’s an excellent cube for speed-solving but it can be too fast for the style of some cubers. I evaluate this with 8.7 out of 10. I recommend you to buy it and to break it in so then you can comment here your final thoughts about the Aolong, I think that it’s on the Top 5 speedcubes around the world. Will this cube become your new main? 

As you can see, the right edge piece of the orange face has a bubble, stickers like this are around all the cube
