MoYu AoSu V7 4x4 Triple-Track Magnetic UV

MoYu AoSu V7 4x4 Triple-Track Magnetic UV

The AoSu V7 is the new generation of MoYu's flagship 4x4 cube. At 58 mm, it is smaller than the previous AoSu. MoYu AoSu V7 4x4 Triple-Track Magnetic UV has the most extensive magnet setup in the series: 160 magnets arranged on three "tracks", plus a Ball-Core and a UV coating. The cube comes in the stickerless bright colour scheme.

Three magnet tracks in practice

• 96 piece-to-piece magnets in the outer pieces (corners and edges). Every V7 version has this setup.
• 16 Ball-Core magnets: pairs of magnets between the corners and the core. They help the layers align and keep the cube stable during fast turning.
• 48 magnets in the inner pieces, working between the edges and the inner pieces. Only the Triple-Track has this track.

How it turns

According to user reviews, the outer layers of the AoSu V7 feel like a good 3x3: they are fast, have very good corner cutting and rarely pop. The magnets on the inner layers are noticeably strong, so slices take more force than on many other 4x4s. Some cubers find this gives them better control, while others find inner-layer moves heavy. In the Triple-Track, the inner pieces have extra magnets, which makes this version the most "locked-in" and stable in the whole series. If you prefer light, free-moving slices, consider the Double-Track instead. Some users find the cube quite dry out of the box. A little lube and slightly loosening the tension help. The smaller size takes a little getting used to, especially if you are coming from larger 4x4s.

Which AoSu V7 version?

The Single-Track has 96 magnets, no Ball-Core and comes in a matte or UV version. The Double-Track has 112 magnets with a Ball-Core. The Triple-Track adds magnets in the inner pieces on top of that. The mechanism and size are the same, so the versions differ mainly in how strongly the cube aligns the layers by itself. Since the weight difference is only a few grams, the choice comes down to how much magnetism you like in inner-layer moves.

Who is it for?

For speedcubers who want a stable 4x4 cube with strong magnets and are comfortable with a distinct "click" on the inner layers too. For a first 4x4 cube or casual solving, the Single-Track is usually enough. It has the same mechanism, but a simpler magnet setup.
