[Review] Cyclone Boys G4 4x4

[TCKyewbs]

My full thoughts and review on the Cyclone Boys G4, hope you find it helpful!

 

[PoopyCuber]

Nice, but you repeated the same thing many times, just in different ways.

 

[RUBlX CUBE]

I agree with the PoopyCuber, do some planning. You dont need to write a full script, but plan out the points your going to say and practice.

Has the G4 been made in stickerless?

Good review, thanks.

Yes, but even though they have the same name I don't think the stickerless has the same exact mechanism as the black version.

Yes, but even though they have the same name I don't think the stickerless has the same exact mechanism as the black version.

I haven't seen the mechanism of the black one up close, but the mechanism of my stickerless g4 is pretty much the exact same as my CB 5x5. The one I have is also 60 mm, so I am certain it is not the old one. It performs very well too, just like reviews suggest.

After a long break from cubing I just got this cube last Friday. It's amazing. My times have dropped from 2 min down to 1:3x.
It's unbelievable how much 4x4's have improved while I was gone. The last one I used was v-cube. It locks like a mother.

When I see certain reviews saying that the aosu is better I find it hard to fathom. I need to get one just to see.

Mine popped out of the box so I got a good look at the mech. It reminded me of a cross between x-cube and shengshou.
I'd describe it as a perfect shengshou. No mod needed. similar sound, a little faster, no locking.

4x4 is fun again!

I personally think this is better than the Aosu. There both pretty comparable along with the Yuxin Qilin 4x4, It just comes down to preference.


Anyway this cube is my main. It sucks out of the box but after lubing and stuff it got awesome. I Definately recommend.

Mine arrived yesterday. I've had a small issue with locking but once my lube arrives I expect it to be my main. I like the smaller size.

 

[radmin]

Well, I bought the 62 mm aosu just to see. The Cyclone Boys G4 beats it IMO. It just works well for my style. I can consistently get 1:3x now with it. Before I'd be lucky to get sub 2.

 

[TheChaiCuber]

It is cheap and has great performance, therefore it is now my main. That is all.

So I just used tuba valve oil to lube my CB G4, since I have nothing else, and it made it horrible. how can I properly clean this so I can have it back to the way it was and maybe use some CRC in it?

That's probably a world's first! Take it apart and give it a good rub with paper towel. If that stuff is petroleum based (not silicon) you could use a damp paper towel with a touch of liquid soap to make sure you clear it all off. Then wipe it again without the soap.

Whatever you use should be silicon based, not just containing Silicon. I'm not familiar with CRC, but based on a quick look at the Amazon page I'm guessing it's petroleum based.

As to cleaning, yes, you will have to disassemble it, but I would recommend a Tupperware container or something similar about half full of soapy water. Put all the pieces in, seal it, and give it a pretty thorough shaking. Then carefully dump it all into a colander or strainer of some type and rinse the soap off the pieces. It's really hard to wipe out all the little corners unless you spend hours with Q-tips.

If you say so, but I haven't found any reason to switch from the G4 as my main 4x4.

I'm considering getting a G4. Sell me on it.
Have you used the YuXin Blue? If so, how do you think they compare?
What's your average?
