Well, listen up folks, I got a tale to tell,
'Bout a Rubik's cube that rings the bell.
X-Man's the name, 5x5's the game,
Speed demon on the block, it's never tame.

X-Man 5x5, the king of the twist,
Turning so smooth, you can't resist.
UV-coated pieces, colors poppin' bright,
FZ-Rush lubed up, takin' flight.

At The Cubicle, where the speed demons dwell,
They got the hook-up, they know it well.
From freeslice to Yau, it's all the same,
X-Man's the champ, ain't playin' no game.

So heed my words, don't delay,
Go grab an X-Man, make your day.
The Rubik's game will never be the same,
With X-Man's 5x5, you'll win the fame.

Out of the box, this puzzle is slow and tight. The speed issue is mainly due to the lackluster XMD lube that the puzzle is lubed with from the factory. After loosening the puzzle about a half turn, and cleaning the puzzle out, you're left with a puzzle that is still slightly sluggish, but corner cuts beautifully. After maybe 25 break in solves dry, the puzzle sped up a significant amount, after which I did a mock angstrom setup. This puzzle is a great performer, with great magnet strength and a nice balance of stability and flexibility. If you're serious about 5x5 solving, this is the puzzle to get....or maybe wait until the Gan comes out to hear some comparisons

Best 5x5 I ever turned but it’s very dry out the box.

This cube is simply amazing. No other 5x5 compares right now, if you’re looking for a 5x5, seriously…don’t look elsewhere, get this one.

this 5x5 is the best on the market( at the time of writing this review) my times dropped a solid 10 seconds just by swapping from the mgc. just make sure you clean out the terrible lube it comes with, loosen it, then add weight V to make it absolutely beautiful. 3x3 stage is so fast on this cube. note: i averaged 1:04 on mgc and now 54 on this.

I didn't write s poem for this 5x5, but it is very good, the corner cutting is very good, the U.V. coating makes this cube look really good. It turns and feels amazing, my only complaint is the inner layers seem slightly sluggish, it's a easy fix with a little speedy lube.

I really like this puzzle. My previous main was the Meilong, which was good, but not this good. I love the UV coating and bright colors. The outer layers feel nice and a bit crisp. The inner layers are also really good, but have a bit more of a soft plush feel. My only complaint is that it requires some set up. To get the feel I wanted I had to take it apart and lube it with XMT 10, fz calm, Mystic, and Speedy. After a bit of break it, however, it is great. All in all, this cube is incredible, and will satisfy anyone.

The X-Man hong feels like a mix between the MGC and the Aochuang 5x5. It is fast and stable out of the box and the core magnets definitely help with that. After a bit of lube the cube is perfect. The cube’s UV coating also helps a lot with keeping hold of the cube. If I were to describe the feel of the turning, it would be smooth and it feels very cohesive. Anyways I highly recommend this cube.

Best cube ever

Really good cube, this 5x5 made me average around 4mins so buy it now or you will explode into this 5x5's pieces which are great.
