Five years after the release of the legendary
DaYan V ZhanChi, Mr. DaYan unexpectedly releases a fundamentally new cube that is destined to become a continuation of the line of DaYan speed cubes, —
DaYan ZhanChi 2017
.
Differences from the previous version are visible to the naked eye — this is a square-shaped corner caps, which are designed to reduce the probability of accidental corner flip during speedsolving. Corner stalk became smooth and more refined, additional rails appeared at the points of contact with neighbouring elements to reduce the friction inside the cube. Edge pieces of ZhanChi 2017 wasn't changed much, just like the central ones.
Nevertheless, turning has changed crucially. Considering that New DaYan ZhanChi made of more slippery and stiffer plastic, the torsion seems incredibly fast and, at first sight, uncontrollable. It can be compared to the sensations of MoYu WeiLong GTS v2. The cube is supplied greased with a dense factory lube, so after a short tuning the cube turns into a formidable weapon that provides the ability to set records of different scales.
The only disadvantage of the DaYan ZhanChi 2017 is the colour scheme of the factory stickers. Therefore, we recommend you to replace them with fluorescent stickers, which can be found in a special section of the site.
In conclusion, we can say that the long-awaited DaYan cube is not inferior to the more expensive cubes of MoYu, Gan, The Valk brands and can compete in speed with each of them. The cube will appeal to the professionals as well, and it will become an excellent thing for the newcomers of speedcubing.
