Which is better? Chilong or Sulong?
I don't have the ChiLong yet, but the SuLong is great. It's my OH cube now.

Apparently; that's the reason I've ignored these cubes so far. The low price and YJ's positioning of these below the premium brand made me think "dollar store". Would be good to see some more reviews.Oh yeah, and is YJ : MoYu :: Toyota : Lexus ?

Definitely. Did they really invest in 4 different moulds in the space of 6 months? I'm half expecting that one or both of these will be Huanying with cheaper plastic and hardware, or something like that.
Do you have any thoughts on why it's less than half the price of the Weilong? Is the Weilong really a premium cube by comparison?I do not think that. The pieces of these cubes are all so much different. The SuLong for example has edges that are made out one piece. I am uploading a second review of the SuLong now. This cube deserves some attention.
The smart thing would be to sustain both premium and budget products, which usually means the budget product is kept inferior so as to not devalue the premium product. Or perhaps they have realised that people who can afford premium products (like us) are going to buy them anyway, even if the budget products are just as goodI think, the first good 'MoYu' was in a time that Dayan ruled the speedcube market. Now there are so many good cubes (Fangshi, Gan, CX3) that they might have start to differentiate by price. Very very smart. The cube world is mainly occupied by young people with no or low income.
Pics of internals of both on zcube. It looks like a back to basics design, and as you said Marcel, nothing like Weilong or Huanying. Can anyone see a difference between Sulong and Chilong though? They look the same to me.
Well where's that review my fine friend?

TheCubicle's product page for the YJ ChiLong states: "The YJ ChiLong's internal mechanism has been adapted from the YJ SuLong. New features include removable torpedoes and tracks on the edge pieces similar to those in the ShengShou Aurora."ChiLong has grooved edges which cause less friction.
anyone else noticed ZhanChi and WeiLong equals ChiLong?
I for one am excited to my my ChiLong, I have it in the mail, probably coming in tomorrow or tues. The SuLong is a wonderful addition to MoYu lineup. I wish they would change the sticker colors... but to each their own.
