Thirteen layers used to mean thirteen hundred grams of wrist workout. The Meilong 13x13 V3 compresses the experience into a 75 mm cube weighing about 284 grams - lighter than many older eleven-layers - thanks to a six-pillar integrated core and thoroughly modern internals.

Screw tensioning lets you tune the feel across all those layers, and frosted stickerless plastic keeps the huge colour fields readable without glare. As the budget champion of the MoYu ecosystem, Meilong continues doing exactly what it does best: making absurdly large cubes affordable.

The sensible gateway into double-digit solving.

Features:

• 75 mm, ~284 g - remarkably light for 13 layers
• Six-pillar integrated core
• Adjustable screw tension
• Frosted stickerless finish
