X-Man Tornado V3 Review: Can It Live Up To The Hype? | Pre-Order is Live!

[@thecubicleofficial]

Note: The Tornado V3 is actually 55.5 millimeters, not 56 mm as stated. Also, the Standard and Flagship versions have a transparent dual-adjustment system, while the Pioneer Maglev version uses primary plastic. The Pioneer also has slightly different center caps, so make sure to not swap the caps between different versions, as this could cause damage to your puzzles.

Honestly, it may take longer to adjust tension but the fact that you don't need to bring the tool with you everywhere is super convenient. I would gladly spend a little more time on making adjustment instead having to bring the tool with me.

[@thesphyrth]

Though I agree, I think Phil is actually suggesting a possible improvement: Drop the pulling mechanism, just adjust by hand.

[@SP00NGEB0B]

What about magnets?

[@asmallkitten]

You still need the tool to adjust the magnets

[@Ronak1107]

I honestly loved the tool system and thought it was fine without it I enjoy setup and the magnet harpoon tool multi storage toolhead was pretty cool

[@mangocuber]

@@asmallkitten That’s true but I don’t change my magnet strength as much as I might change tensions. I’m not sure how often everyone changes there magnet strength in relation to tensions so some people still might need the to have the tool on them more frequently. However, I do believe this is a step in the right direction, in terms of not needing the tool as much.

[@sadman4374]

i love how Phil said "excellent grip" with so much joy and so casually just because he hates frosted plastic so much and almost every brand is using it.

[@MrZattack101]

as a TV2 main I'm glad they made it bigger and improved corner cutting. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm glad they kept the shades, probably the best possible shades for my colorblindness.

[@implacableonion]

I LOVE the increase in quality of your videos, they're so much more enjoyable now!

[@68booger]

The only reason I never considered the Tornado V2 was because of the corner cutting, but now I think I'm sold. Can't wait for this cube to come out!

Same here. I like everything except the corner cutting on that cube.

Looks to be the biggest 3x3 release since at least the Valk 3, very excited to get mine!

Not about the cube but Rowe's solves is really good. I thought I won't need color neutral because of earlier solves but then I saw how efficient would it be

[@samthelegoman7593]

Nice to see a Roux user speak his thoughts on the cube! Also thanks Rowe for the brief note on internals, I didn't think they could effect the cube. Can't wait to get the Flagship edition.

[@liumatthew2357]

I think this cube is the cube that can finally beat the old flagships (Valk 3, WRM 2019). Very excited for this cube!

[@SP00NGEB0B]

I agree but the WRM 2019 is an og that will still take a lot to beat

[@michael1234252]

Ok not many cubers nowadays remembers the Tornado V1. The V1 was hit and a miss at the time it was released in 2015. It was the groundbreaking first release of the X-Man line but it got overshadowed by the Qiyi Thunderclap V1 and other 3x3's from Moyu and Yj. To the point where it got shoved to the side and sorta became a forgotten cube. It was popular though but almost no one was taking about it and recommending it. Retrospectively the V1 helped Qiyi with some future design aspects of some of their later 3x3's like the Thunderclap V2, Valk3, and some others. The biggest design feature of the V1 that got caried on was the corner feet base that held the 3 main corner parts together. This feature was super well known on the Valk3 cubes. But IDK why X-Man decided to start on redesigning the Tornado in 2020 when the V1 was almost unsuccessful in 2015 and almost no one cared about it.

[@TheOrigamiGenius]

I've been waiting for this review for months! This will probably overthrow my GAN 11 M Duo as my main

[@pooepizza_9620]

Did the tornado v3 become your main?

[@CubingWithAlex]

I can't wait to get my hands on this! I main the Tornado V2, and I've been waiting for this cube for months now lol :) Also, great video!!!!

[@NotCloudy15k]

I ordered the pioneer version on October 9th, and I have yet to get the cube as of October 30.... besides that, great video as always, and keep up the great work!

[@NavyAng]

Will definitely get this when its more widely available. I do wish there’s an option for black internals though

[@Pcoob]

Been hyped for this for a while, definitely going to pre order if I can

[@TheCubingCritics]

Love the thumbnail 😄 Nice video. Look forward to giving these a try.

[@jav7481]

I just picked up the pioneer version, I can’t wait for mine to arrive, definitely the best speed cube in 2022.

[@sune7482]

The X-Man V3 is the GAN killer. No cap.

[@thesphyrth]

IMO The Promotional Vids (AND the solvers who were using it for a while) already killed it.

[@natcuber]

[@ClipynX]

Pre-ordered the flagship version! This cube sounds like amazing!

[@muadh6]

I really liked v2 but didn't get it because of its drawbacks. Now I am glad they solved the corner cut and they added core magnets so no need to get a mod version. This new method of adjustment is fine by me I don't like to change my settings a lot but do we still get that nice black tool with it? I hope so.

[@ZylyzNumir14]

I know it's a small thing, but will this come out with a black internals version? I liked that about the V2, and would definitely prefer that.

[@TesserId]

The first V2 I bought has been one of my favorites for some time. I bought a 2nd V2, and it did not live up to the first. When the V3's came out, it wasn't clear there would be multiple versions, and I ended up with a V3 standard. Sorry, I'm not seeing any improvement. I suspect the GAN's are spoiling me. Their turning is so effortless, that I now expect all cubes turn effortlessly. Even, my best RS3 Maglev now feels clunky. And, I can't take heavy lubes anymore. I even cleaned out the factory lube on a GAN 13 and was pleased with the results. Do I dare try the flagship or pioneer? Oh, curiosity will get the better of me eventually.

[@JJCuber27]

Seems like a very promising puzzle, makes me even more excited to buy it

[@cbarbaz]

I have the Tornado v2, and two things I love about it are the black internals and how quiet the cube is. I was surprised by Rowe's comment at 11:00, saying that black internals make the cube feel slower. How would you explain this? due to different plastic?

[@IAm-uu8vu]

Question for all of you, and bear in mind I am a noob: What do you recommend for a lubricant for the V3 flagship? I ask this because I got the cube and initially the cube was fairly gritty, but I could tell it was smoothing out. Then out of nowhere the cube went crazy and got totally stuck! I took it apart and found that one of the internal double magnets which are mounted on the tree(?) had come loose, gotten lost on the inside of the cube, and got stuck! Putting the cube back together wasn't too tough, but I ended up wiping most of the factory lubricant off in the process. Now, while the cube is very smooth, I know that it can be so much better. So what do you recommend for maximum smoothness? Thank you in advance for any help!

[@annihilate2479]

Lubicle speedy maybe

[@TOBNS]

I realy like the pioneer edition and it is just amazing!!!🎉

[@ashermorales8276]

Couple of my classmates have the v3 (both flagship and pioneer) and they’re great feeling cubes but for whatever reason I couldn’t get great times on them. I love the turning feel and everything, but there’s just something that feels off about it for me. I’m sure if I did a session of 100 solves or something like that and spent a little bit of time setting it up the my feeling I could get used to it and I’d find myself doing better on it than my current main (wrm maglev) but that’s just me. I’d still say it’s undoubtedly the best cube on the market rn

The difference of the standard from the v2 is only the reverse corner cutting, right? If yes, i'm just going to get the v2 or the gan 354 rs and just magnetize. I think I like black internals better.

@@SchweinerSchinkler I order yesterday the pioneer one, just because i prefer a more heavier center/core! I don’t mind maglev, I love the wrm21 maglev more than the spring/normal version!

[@yougotshafted]

i have experienced the magnets falling off

[@josephrogers21]

All the features just seem like a Gan 12 line made by a different company and not using UV finishes. Flagship is more comparable to a Gan 11 M Pro. The Pioneer is a 12 MagLev without the longer leap corner to core magnets.
