Hey guys, its me CriticalCubing and today I have a review for the Moyu Aolong GT, graciously sponsored by cubezz.com
Aolong GT is the most hyped moyu cube till now just because it is the next big thing in the aolong lineup.
The first aolong was the v1 which many people liked as well as disliked
The next aolong was the aolong v2 which was the main of many cubers including myself and people fell in love with the buttery smooth performance of it
Aolong GT is next up in aolong lineup, lets see how it performs. The GT is the fourth cube in the aolong lineup as there was a mini aolong version also
It costs roughly 15 dollars across cube stores and the size is 57mm standard size
Out of the box the cube had this fast and scratchy feeling and not much of the aolong feel to it. It was also locking up a lot and destroying my solves
After breaking in and lubing and tensioning it, the lockups became infrequent
The plastic smoothened out a bit and you could feel the smooth feel of the aolong v2
When going slow, the majority of the cube feels like the aolong v2 however when going fast it feels more like a gans and a well broken in and less scratchy fangshi
People have said that it also feels similar to Tanglong however tanglong is more smoother than my GT
This cube is fast but not uncontrollably fast like out of the box fangshis
After breaking it in, it becomes slower and really reminds me of the aolong v2.
The speed is like a mix of aolong v2 and tanglong. If you feel it is too fast for you
then you can overlube it with weight 5 to make it slower and smoother as well
If you feel that it is too slow for you then lubricating it with 30k or weight 3 should do the trick
however you can just drop in some maru lube as well
This cube is unique in the sense that it has taken lots of different things from different cubes and made it its own
The cube also has some weight to it like the aolong v2 and the weight is similar to that of Tanglongs.
The reverse corner cutting of the GT sets it apart from other cubes a bit because the GT can reverse corner cut line to line with relative ease
The corner cutting of this is 45 degrees with ease and it can corner cut little more than that however requires effort for it
The corners have been squared off and this prevents corner twisting by a lot.
I have done more than 4000 solves on it and only got 2 corner twists out of which one was on loose tensions
Corner twists may happen but it will be rather rare occurence
It is impossible to pop this cube and I have not been able to pop it a single time even on the loose tensions
You may get lockups on this cube however lockups will depend a lot on your turning style
I had to adjust my turning style a bit but after adjusting my turning style, I got very less lockups and lockups became infrequent
Now the stickers, the stickers have been changed for this cube to the dull dayan, gans 357 and fangshi shuangren shades
The shades do contrast well however most cubers will just change them unlike me
Moyu used these stickers just because they didn't like how the cube felt with the normal half bright shades so they opted for these stickers
As a whole, the cube has a nice feel to it and also has a satisfactory speed which is neither too fast nor too slow
The other asthetics of the cube like corner cutting, pops and lockups seem to be standard and depends a lot on your turning style
Moyu mixed the feel of the fangshi and gans with their design and performance to get a unique feeling Moyu cube
When people think of Moyu, they think of the weilong/aolong smoothness and some clickiness to accompany it
however this cube shatters that image and shows that they can make different cubes as well
It is also very controllable which you could not get out of the gans and fangshi cubes sometimes
All in all, I like it very much and use it a lot. It is still undecided if I will use it as my main or not however it is a nice contender for it
I have set my single best on cam with this cube and I will recommend that you buy it
If you think you want to buy this cube, then buy this from cubezz where they have the cheapest prices and fast and free international shipping
