YuXin HuangLong 11×11 V2 Product Description

The YuXin HuangLong 11×11 V2 raises the bar for high-order twisty puzzles by blending advanced engineering with everyday practicality. Designed for serious speedcubers, hobbyists and collectors who want an 11×11 that’s both performant and portable, the HuangLong 11×11 V2 delivers remarkably smooth turning, reliable stability, and an unexpectedly lightweight feel for its class.

At just 8.5 cm across and with a listed weight of 385.2 g (gross ~390 g), the V2 is one of the most compact and travel-friendly 11x11s available. YuXin’s redesign focuses on an integrated center-piece architecture that reduces internal friction and improves alignment across layers — the result is buttery, consistent turns and far fewer catches during long or complicated solves. The improved mechanism also gives the puzzle a reassuring structural integrity that collectors will appreciate: it feels solid in hand without the bulk normally associated with very-high-order cubes.

Performance highlights

• Fluid turning: The revised internal geometry and tight tolerances ensure smooth layer rotations with minimal resistance — excellent for large-algorithm solves and sequences that require controlled speed.

• Improved stability: Reinforced core areas and the integrated center design reduce flex and misalignments, which means fewer pops, fewer lockups and more predictable solves.

• Compact & lightweight: At 8.5 cm diameter and ~385 g, the V2 is easier to grip, better balanced, and far less tiring during extended practice than many heavier 11×11 alternatives.

• Collector-friendly finishing: Clean sticker lines and premium plastics give the cube a neat, display-ready aesthetic while remaining durable for daily use.

• Non-magnetic version note: This listing is for the non-magnetic V2. Although some packaging may reference a magnetic version, the product itself is non-magnetic — ideal for users who prefer the classic feel or want to add their own magnets later.

Who this cube is for

• Speedcubers exploring higher-order events or practicing multi-stage algorithms that require precise control and consistent feel.

• Advanced hobbyists and modders who value a stable platform for custom lubricants, tensioning, or magnet installs.

• Collectors who want a compact, well-engineered 11×11 that looks and feels premium without the weight of older models.

• Traveling cubers who need a high-order cube that fits easily into a bag and won’t fatigue the hands during long practice sessions.

Practical tips & setup

• Tensioning: Start with medium tensions and test several solves. The V2 responds well to small adjustments; loosen slightly for faster, freer turning or tighten if you want more stability and fewer accidental misalignments.

• Lubrication: Use a silicone-based lube for smoother outer layers and a light penetrating lube for inner mechanisms. A little goes a long way — excessive lube can reduce grip between layers and make precise turns harder.

• Break-in: Expect an initial break-in period — a few hundred turns will settle the mechanism and make the cube feel even smoother.

• Modding: If you’re into magnets, the V2’s design allows for aftermarket magnet installations, though this listing is non-magnetic. Modders often add small 1–2 mm magnets in centers/edges to create a tactile snap.

Why choose the YuXin HuangLong 11×11 V2?
YuXin strikes a smart balance between engineering and usability with the HuangLong V2. Where many high-order cubes focus purely on novelty or size, the V2 targets real solveability: smaller footprint, lighter weight, and fewer mechanical compromises. That combination makes it an excellent choice if you want an 11×11 that’s actually usable in practice — not just impressive on a shelf.

Care & longevity

• Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat or direct sunlight to prevent sticker/panel fading or warping.

• Clean occasionally by gently removing dust from crevices and wiping the exterior with a soft, dry cloth.

• Store in a padded bag or box when transporting to reduce impacts and accidental drops.

FAQs

Q1: Is this the magnetic HuangLong 11×11 V2?
A: No — this listing is for the non-magnetic version. If you see magnetic references on the box, they refer to other variants; the cube you receive here has no factory magnets.

Q2: What is the exact size and weight?
A: The cube measures 8.5 cm in diameter and the item weight is 385.2 g (gross weight listed approximately 390 g).

Q3: Is the HuangLong 11×11 V2 good for speedsolving or competition?
A: It’s designed for high-order practice and speed-oriented solves at home. For official competition use, always check event rules for allowed puzzles and any specifications required for competition registration.

Q4: Does it come lubed and tensioned from the factory?
A: YuXin typically ships with a light factory lube and default tensions. Many users re-tune tensions and add preferred lubes for a personalized feel.
