DaYan GuHong Pro+ 3×3 M — 55 mm — MagLev: versatile flagship with magnetic core and “floaty” MagLev feel

DaYan GuHong Pro+ 3×3 M — 55 mm — MagLev is the versatile MagLev version of the GuHong Pro+ in a 55 mm size. It combines a hand-friendly form factor, a corner-to-core magnetic core, edge–corner magnets and a MagLev system instead of classic springs. This package delivers a very fast, light turning feel with strong auto-alignment of the layers and modern tuning options.

The 55 × 55 × 55 mm format makes the cube comfortable for classic two-handed solving, but also for those who sometimes solve OH. MagLev removes spring/washer friction, so this version is noticeably faster and more “airy” than Spring modifications of GuHong Pro+.

Who is this cube for

Skill level:

• intermediate and advanced speedcubers with confident fingertricks;
• competition cubers who want a fast, modern MagLev main;
• users of classic DaYan cubes (GuHong, ZhanChi) who want to move to a current flagship.

Age:

• teenagers and adults;
• also suitable for motivated younger solvers who already solve 3×3 on time with confidence.

Main use cases:

• intensive speed training and 3×3 competitions;
• MagLev main cube for chasing personal bests;
• upgrade from budget or spring-based cubes to a faster, more advanced flagship.

Turning feel

• turning is very fast and light — the cube offers almost no resistance to your moves;
• the feel is soft and smooth, typical of modern DaYan cubes, but noticeably more “floaty” than in Spring versions;
• the magnetic core and edge–corner magnets create a “rail-like” sensation — layers naturally snap into place after a turn;
• the sound is moderately quiet, without harsh clicking — comfortable both at home and in the cubing club.

Out of the box, GuHong Pro+ 55 mm MagLev is usually set quite loosely and feels very fast. If you are not used to MagLev, it makes sense to slightly tighten the tension and use a thicker lube — this will make the cube feel more solid and controlled.

Magnetic core and MagLev system

Magnetic core (corner-to-core):

• corners are connected to the core with magnets, so the construction feels solid and monolithic;
• layers tend to return to the correct position, reducing micro-misalignments at high TPS;
• creates a light “autopilot” effect — the cube slightly “finishes” the turn for you.

MagLev instead of springs:

• classic springs are replaced by a pair of repelling magnetic rings in the center;
• spring/washer friction disappears — turning becomes faster, smoother and more consistent;
• no spring noise and less wear on the tensioning mechanism over time.

Layer magnets and adjustment:

• edge–corner magnets provide clear magnetic alignment of the layers;
• depending on the batch, magnet strength adjustment (several levels) may be available — you can make the cube feel “stickier” or freer;
• dual center adjustment (tension + compression) allows fine-tuning for either a careful or an aggressive style.

Stability and corner-cutting

• modern forward corner-cutting — the cube cuts large angles confidently without serious lockups;
• reverse corner-cutting is also strong, so the cube forgives small misalignments;
• the magnetic core and MagLev suspension help the layers quickly snap back into place during algorithm spam;
• an anti-pop construction and anti-twist corner features reduce the risk of pops and corner twists at high TPS.

Size, weight, materials

• Size: 55 × 55 × 55 mm — a universal format, comfortable for most hands;
• Weight: light for a flagship; the absence of metal springs reduces the mass slightly;
• Shell: stickerless, with a bright, high-contrast color scheme that is easy to read at speed;
• Surface: typically glossy or semi-glossy — pleasant to the touch and easy to clean;
• Internals: light (primary) plastic with texturing and grooves to reduce friction.

Key advantages of DaYan GuHong Pro+ 55 mm MagLev

• universal 55 mm size — suitable for both two-handed and one-handed solving;
• MagLev system instead of springs — maximum speed and light turning with reduced friction;
• magnetic core + edge–corner magnets — high control, clean layer alignment and a “rail-like” feel;
• dual center adjustment and (where available) magnet strength tuning — precise setup for any style;
• soft, smooth, yet very “reactive” feel — ideal for dynamic, fast solves.

Who it may not suit / nuances

• if you prefer a calmer, more “grounded” feel, the Spring version may be more comfortable;
• for fans of a strictly classic 56 mm size, 55 mm may initially feel slightly more compact;
• because of its high speed, the cube is especially sensitive to setup and lube choice — to unlock its full potential, it’s worth spending a little time tuning it.

DaYan GuHong Pro+ 3×3 M — 55 mm — MagLev is an excellent choice if you want a fast, advanced and versatile flagship with a magnetic core and MagLev system, suitable both for practice and for serious 3×3 competitions.
