KungFu – affordable speed cubes from China

KungFu is a Chinese brand of speed cubes. Many shops also list it as KungFu Yumo or simply Yumo. The brand debuted in June 2016 with three models: a 2x2, a 3x3 and a 4x4. From the start, these cubes were designed with speedcubing in mind but sold at a low price. Cubers have praised them most often for their price-to-performance ratio.

Key KungFu models

• KungFu Yuehun 2x2x2 – a 2x2 from the manufacturer's first series, about 50 mm in size. User reviews mainly mention its smooth turning.


• KungFu Qinghong 3x3x3 – the 3x3 from the brand's debut. It's a simple, lightweight cube without magnets, good for learning and your first attempts at faster solving.


• KungFu CangFeng 4x4x4 – a 62 mm 4x4, slightly smaller than many classic 4x4 cubes. Users usually describe it as very fast with good corner cutting. If you prefer more controlled turning, you may need a moment to get used to it or try a thicker lube.


• KungFu LongYuan 3x3x3 – a lightweight stickerless 3x3, with coloured plastic instead of stickers. It has vivid colours and is one of the brand's cheapest cubes.


• KungFu Gear Cube V1 – a puzzle with gears. Turning one face also rotates the edge pieces, so you solve it in a completely different way than a classic 3x3 cube.

Who are KungFu cubes for?

KungFu speed cubes are mainly budget models without magnets. They work well in several situations:

• as a first "real" cube for a beginner or a child, turning much more easily than cheap cubes from a newsstand,


• as an inexpensive way to try a new category, e.g. 2x2 or 4x4, before buying a more expensive model,


• as a spare cube for school or travel that you won't mind taking out of the house,


• as a collector's curiosity, in the case of the Gear Cube.

To be honest, the lack of magnets is noticeable when compared with current GAN, MoYu or QiYi models. The cube "settles" less reliably into the correct layer alignment, and overshooting happens more easily. For casual solving and learning, this isn't a problem. A speedcuber who regularly improves their times will probably switch to a magnetic cube sooner or later.
