Dayan 2: GuHong
GuHong Version 1 (Released June 2010)
The GuHong Cube is a Chinese cube designed by Daqing Bao (包大庆), who is also the designer of Crazy 4x4x4 series. The name DaYan is the pinyin of his username 大烟头(Da Yan Tou) on MF8 and the logo is a Chinese character "头"(Tou).
The edges have an unusual shape and split apart in two pieces, similar to one of the V-Cube 6 internal pieces. The corners have stalks and split into thirds and have two little Y-shaped parts that go into holes that are in the corners to attach the thirds. The centers are bigger and different from a normal DIY. It is noted that one of the sides of the core are smaller than the rest, so it is recommended that you either use a different core or force the screw into the hole. When you take off a layer of the cube, you will see that the inner circumference of empty space is smaller than usual. It is recommended to set the tensions to tight, as it may pop.
The cube was extremely fast and smooth. It was also quiet as well. Many people said that the cube was uncontrollable and a bit prone to popping. Like the Dayan II, it could cut corners at 45 degrees. The Guhong was famous for being the first cube which could perform reverse corner-cutting.

LingYun Version 2 (Released September 2011)
This is the second version of the Dayan LingYun. The main difference between this cube and the first version is that this cube included torpedo pieces, preventing (most) pops.

The smaller 55 & 50 mm Zhanchis were better suited for one-handed solving, because the smaller size made it easier to handle.

Dayan + MF8 4x4
Dayan collaborated with MF8, another Chinese company, to produce a 4x4x4 Cube. It was considered one of the best 4x4's, and Feliks Zemdegs used it to break the average world record at WC 2011. However, without modding, the edges often popped if you tried to corner cut too much.
