Original Rubik's Cube as Speed Cube?

[Stuart Wade]

You can actually make original Rubik's brands fairly good cubes, but if you want to be very fast you will eventually want to switch to a speedcube. The best you can be with a Rubik's brand is 20 seconds. Very hard to get better than that.

I believe some people back in the day were able to get averages below 12 seconds with Rubik's brands, although I think they were using Rubiks DIY's.

yes and they modded them and lubed them so they were decent enough but I think is possible to be sub 15 with out of the box rubiks brand

Man back in 07 my parents didn't let me get a DIY so all I had was a Rubik's brand with those Cubesmith tiles. Can anyone else relate?

I saw feliks get a 10 with a Rubik's brand but that is still about 50% slower than his global average

 

[Stuart Wade]

Feliks getting a 10 is enough evidence to not use a Rubik’s brand .
