Picube MoYu AoChuang V6 Picube SE Dual Track UV (Premium Setup)

MoYu AoChuang V6 Picube SE Dual Track UV (Premium Setup)

This is a special edition of the MoYu AoChuang V6 5x5 cube, prepared by Picube. It is based on the Dual Track version with a magnetic Ball-Core, but Picube changed two things that affect the feel: weaker core magnets and different springs than in the standard Dual Track. AoChuang V6 Picube SE Dual Track UV has a glossy UV coating. The Premium Setup label means the cube is already lubed and adjusted by Picube, so you don't have to set it up yourself.

How this 5x5 cube turns

The AoChuang V6 is a fast and fairly small 5x5. Users mainly praise its corner cutting and the fact that it stays controllable even at high speed. The outer layers are wider, so the 3x3 stage at the end of the solve feels like turning a good 3x3. The weaker Ball-Core in the SE version gives lighter turning than the regular Dual Track, but the core helps a bit less with keeping the cube stable.

Reviewers describe the SE as fast and fairly loose straight out of the box. Sometimes, when you turn an outer layer, the cube drags the inner layer along with it. After tightening and a few dozen solves, this problem usually goes away. Some people also find that the AoChuang V6 is less forgiving than its competitors and works best with accurate turning.

Design and Premium Setup

• Dual Track with Ball-Core. The magnets connect the corners with the core and help the cube keep its shape during fast turning.
• Anti-pop protection and "dragon scale" shaped pieces that help with smooth turning.
• Setup by Picube. The cube is ready to solve right away. If you want to change the lube, be prepared to be a little patient, because the centre caps have anti-deformation protection and are harder to remove.
• UV coating, a glossy surface that grips your fingers better than bare plastic.

Which AoChuang V6 version should you choose?

The Single Track has 96 magnets and no Ball-Core. It is more than enough for your first 5x5. The standard Dual Track has 112 magnets including the Ball-Core, and the Triple Track has 160 magnets and the most strongly "magnetic" feel. The Picube SE is a Dual Track with a gentler core and a ready-made setup. It suits people who prefer lighter turning over layers being held firmly in place.

Who is it for?

For cubers who regularly solve 5x5 and want a ready-to-go cube without lubing and adjusting it themselves. If you like a 5x5 that aligns strongly and feels stable, check out the standard Dual Track or the Triple Track.
