MoYu Aolong V6 3x3 20M Ball Core Maglev UV

MoYu Aolong V6 3x3 20M Ball Core Maglev UV

MoYu AoLong V6 3x3 20M Ball Core Maglev UV is the most fully equipped version of the AoLong V6, with a UV coating. The spherical core holds 20 magnets that act on the corners and edges. Together with the magnets in the pieces, that makes 100 magnets in total. The cube weighs approx. 67 g.

What's new in the V6

The AoLong V6 is the successor to the AoLong V5. The size (55.5 mm) and the magnet layout stay the same, but the cube is about 4-5 g lighter. The pieces have a V-shaped cross-section that reduces the friction surface, and internal triangular feet help prevent pops. The core is integrated and made of carbon fibre, and the corners are shaped to limit corner twists.

MagLev and tension adjustment

Every version has dual 8x8 adjustment, which gives you 64 combinations of elasticity and tension settings. You change them on the centres without taking the cube apart. Instead of springs, it uses MagLev: repelling magnets under the centres. This reduces friction and gives light, smooth turning.

First impressions

Users describe it as light, fast and airy to turn, with clearly noticeable magnets. At very loose settings, some people notice clicking during fast algorithms, so it's worth taking a moment to find the right setup. The markings on the centres are small, so it's best to adjust the settings in good light.
