YuXin HuangLong 11×11 V2 (Magnetic)

The YuXin HuangLong 11×11 V2 (Magnetic) is a premium high-order puzzle engineered for advanced speedcubers and collectors who demand precision, stability, and refined turning at every layer. Evolving from the successful HuangLong line, the V2 trims size and weight without sacrificing durability or performance — measuring a compact 8.5 cm across with an item weight of 385.2 g (packaged/gross weight: 522 g). The result is an 11×11 that feels surprisingly nimble in the hand for marathon solves, multi-blind practice, or display in a serious collection.

What sets the V2 apart is its redesigned integrated center-piece architecture and a full magnetic system. The updated centers increase torsional stability and reduce wobble through complex algorithms and tension changes, while 240 precision-placed outer-layer magnets give consistent, tactile alignment and quieter, more confident turns. These improvements produce smoother corner-layer travel and reduced lockups, making advanced algorithms and wide-turn recognition more reliable and repeatable.

Inside the puzzle you’ll find YuXin’s attention to balance: internal geometry optimized for lower friction, a lightweight shell to reduce fatigue during long sessions, and a tuned internal mechanism that preserves strength without heavy resistance. The V2’s refined tolerances make it an excellent choice for speedcubers focused on high move-efficiency solves, and also for collectors who want a high-order cube that’s both display-worthy and competition-capable.

Key product highlights:

• Compact 8.5 cm footprint — easier handling compared to many large-order cubes.

• Item weight: 385.2 g; Gross/packaged weight: 522 g.

• Full magnetic system with 240 outer-layer magnets for consistent alignment.

• Redesigned integrated center-piece structure for improved stability.

• Smooth, low-friction internal geometry tuned for speed and durability.

• Suitable for serious speedcubing, multi-blind practice, and collectors.

Design & Feel

The HuangLong 11×11 V2 combines a lightweight tactile feel with a confidently stable turning core. Each magnet is placed to subtly guide layers into alignment without feeling overpowering, preserving a natural turning sensation. The V2’s compact dimensions reduce hand travel and improve ergonomics during fast solves, while the updated centers handle heavy algorithms with less internal flex. Overall, the cube offers a blend of buttery smooth turning and the right amount of feedback for precision moves.

Performance & Use Cases

• Speedcubers: The V2’s alignment and low internal friction help reduce mis-turns and lockups, improving consistency in timed solves.

• Competitors and practice: Compact size and magnetic guidance make it great for long practice sessions or multi-block solves.

• Collectors: Premium build, refined aesthetics, and the HuangLong lineage make this an attractive shelf piece.

• Educators & demonstrators: Stable turning and clear layer response are helpful for teaching complex algorithms at a large scale.

Care & Maintenance

To keep peak performance, occasionally clean contact surfaces, use light cube lubricant as recommended for high-order puzzles, and check tensions if you notice play or uneven turning. Because the cube is magnetized, take care when storing it near sensitive electronics or credit cards to avoid interference. Use original packaging or a protective bag for transport to protect the magnets and external finish.

Why choose the YuXin HuangLong 11×11 V2 (Magnetic)?
If you want an 11×11 that feels closer to a high-performance mid-size cube than a bulky novelty, the V2 is engineered for you. It compresses high-order complexity into a comfortable, controllable form while adding magnetic assistance and structural improvements that increase solve reliability. Whether you’re recording PBs, training for multi-blind events, or expanding a serious collection, the HuangLong 11×11 V2 brings a competitive, polished experience.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: Is the YuXin HuangLong 11×11 V2 magnetic or non-magnetic?
A: This V2 model is magnetic. It uses 240 precisely positioned magnets on the outer layers to improve layer alignment and provide a tactile snap during turns.

Q2: What is the weight and size of the cube?
A: The cube measures 8.5 cm across. The item weight is 385.2 g; packaged (gross) weight is listed as 522 g — the higher gross weight includes packaging and any manuals or inserts.

Q3: Is the HuangLong 11×11 V2 suitable for competition?
A: Yes — the puzzle is built with performance in mind. Its stability, magnet system, and low-friction internals make it suitable for practice and competition, provided the specific competition allows large-order cubes under event rules (always check WCA or local regulations for event-legal sizes).

Q4: How does this V2 differ from the previous HuangLong 11×11?
A: The V2 introduces a redesigned integrated center-piece structure for better stability, a lighter and more compact form factor (8.5 cm), and enhanced magnet placement (240 magnets). These changes reduce wobble, improve turning smoothness, and make the cube more ergonomic for extended solving.

Q5: Can I adjust tension/speed on this cube?
A: Yes — the internal mechanism supports tension adjustments. Follow the manufacturer’s guidance or a trusted tutorial to adjust tensions evenly across all faces. Small changes can significantly affect feel and lockup resistance.
