Dayan 5 Zhanchi
Size: 5.7cm
Overall, it's much better than GuHong, especially in anti-pop.
I popped often using Guhong, but never got popped using Zhanchi.
The pictures are the first testing product prototype version.

Hmm...most new cubes don't really pop actually. It's only when they're broken in that they start to pop, so it's hard to say if this is really pop-resistant

What.
Cubes are getting to the point where they're *too* fast, and people have to find crazy ways to make them slow. (LingYung.)

This is insane.

So we'll end up back at store bought cube specs one day?
Reminds me of the F1; cars were getting too fast so they started messing with tire tread and engine volume to slow things down...
Never the less, I'm fascinated by the fact that so much thought goes into these cubes.

There's no limits to how much you can improve something.

Wouldn't the extra plastic on the side of the corners make the corner cutting ability worse?(sorry I'm a cube mechanism noob)

Whre me gat?

Don't be silly, of course there's limits.

I think people can get used to the speed. When I first got my guhong, I thought it was way too fast, but after a few days I got used to it.

Didn't you thought your lubed storebought was unbelievably fast?

I don't usually do this, but ... fix'd

well actually my lubed storebought has been modded and messed with so much it can actually compete with an fii lol

but what of the dayan IV?

I think the wings on the edges should stick out a bit further.

New cubes don't pop but it's when they start to break in...well...wouldn't it be a good thing then that they're putting extra pop prevention(s) in place? This means our cubes can last longer!

 

[maggot]

I actually don't think that I ever want to change from guhong.. maybe if they found ways to make them indesrtuctable or oppose wear and tear... I think the guhong is close to ideal in terms of speed, forgiveness, and overall feel. They do tend to gum out after a while, unlike my alphas which seem to turn as good if not better than when I first break them in.

 

[CubicNL]

I can indeed not really imagine what could be a big difference...
Corner cutting 50 degrees, or over 40 reverse or smth?
The speed is already fast enough and there are no locks.

It looks beastly, but why did they show Dayan 5 before Dayan 4 exactly?

I think that the lingyun is the 4th.

I think that the lingyun is the 4th.

Guhong is 1st
Taiyan is 2nd
Lingyun is 3rd
??? is 4th
Zhan Chi is 5th

 

[FatBoyXPC]

I was under the impression that the Taiyan came long before the GuHong. I remember when they requested for it to be called DaYan instead of Taiyan, and that happened before the GuHong, I think.

 

[antoineccantin]

Guhong is 1st
Taiyan is 2nd
Lingyun is 3rd
??? is 4th
Zhan Chi is 5th

Isn't Taiyan 1st and Guhong 2nd?

EDIT: fatboyxpc beat me to it

LunHui is 4th.
