YJ YuSu R Review and Comparison

The YuSu R is now out from YJ.  It is said to be an upgrade from the YuSu and GuanSu.  I personally was not a big fan of the GuanSu mainly because of it’s easier ability to pop, and although liked the YuSu it was a bit slow.

I want to thank SpeedCubeShop for helping make this happen.  You can stop by their store and use discount code CubeReview to save 10% on your order.

Out of the box the new YuSu R is insanely fast.  The only other cube out of the box that was this fast was the Cyclone Boys G4.  The YuSu R is 62mm and currently there is no mini version available.  The YuSu R is a mixture of the external YuSu pieces and the internals of the GuanSu.

Out of the box the cube was a bit loose and after a couple solves I had a pop of an internal piece. I put it back together and tightened the tensions.  I was afraid they were too tight but corner-cutting is still exceptional and the speed is still amazingly fast.

The cube is quite light and you can see that the hollow pieces is the major reason for that.  Because of the multiple piece design there can be stickerless unlike the GuanSu but there is only a pink stickerless option. 

This is probably the only 4x4 I have ever really needed to slow down.  The inner layers are very smooth and still very fast making parity algorithms very nice to execute.   If this is something similar to what we can expect form the new AoSu I am excited.  I might even say that this is currently better than an AoSu, and for some people they might claim that this is the best 4x4 on the market.  I still like smaller 4x4s and although my times are about the same I still like my Cyclone Boys G4 over it.  

Should you get this?  Definitely.  With it’s extremely low price point, great corner cutting, super smooth and fast turning this is worth it if yo are new or experienced.
