Shengshou Legend S Pyraminx

ShengShou Legend S Pyraminx

ShengShou Legend S Pyraminx is part of the Legend series, ShengShou's budget line. This model was released in 2019 and draws on both of the manufacturer's earlier pyraminxes. You get a classic pyramid puzzle about 80 mm in size, in black, approved for official competitions. It works well as your first Pyraminx or as an affordable puzzle for everyday solving.

Light in the hand and light to turn

The key feature of the Legend S is how light it is. The puzzle weighs about 68 g, so it's easy to hold during fast finger moves. The layers and tips also turn without much resistance. The design has no large florians, the deep cut-outs in internal pieces that improve transitions between layers in some pyraminxes. This makes the mechanism simpler than in more expensive, advanced designs. For getting started and learning your first methods, that's all you need.

Adjustment

The Pyraminx has adjustment screws, so you can set the tension to suit you. A looser setting gives lighter, faster turning, while a tighter one gives more control and a lower risk of popping. If the puzzle feels too stiff or too loose out of the box, it's worth taking a moment to adjust the screws at the start.

Who is it for?

The Legend S Pyraminx is a sensible choice if you're just getting to know the Pyraminx and want to find out whether you enjoy this event. It also makes an affordable backup puzzle or a gift for a child who already solves the 3x3 and wants to try something different. An experienced speedcuber competing for results will more likely look for a magnetic pyraminx with a more advanced mechanism. The Legend S, on the other hand, is easy to use and needs no getting used to.
