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

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.

10:39 that ZBLL execution was crazy! 😳

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.

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.

Seeing that Phil can’t really find anything negativ to say, my excitement is even HUGER than it already was. Excuse me I have an order to make.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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!!!!

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!

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

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

Can't wait ordered it a month ago from you guys checking the mail everyday 😃😃🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️

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

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

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

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

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

xman tornado was my fav cube and I'm so excited! im definitely ordering a v3

This really helped me because im trying to find a new cube :)

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.

Amazing! I will pre-order now.

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.

So excited for this cube!

Loved the Bill oreilly “we’ll do it live” reference at the end with Jules 😂🤣😅

Nice, Here in Guatemala its 10 PM but im watching it :D

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.

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

really excited, bought all 3 of them

Recently I've been soooo much more excited for the new cubes of any brand other than gan. Hearing that these companies have been listening to so much feedback is so awesome!

How every cube review should be 💯

I really like this cube. I find it as good as the gan 11 and 12. I’m interested to see if I like it as much as the gan 13.

I main the V2 and I now REALLY want the V3! Unfortunately, I don't really have money to buy it...

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

My x-man tornado v3 m pioneer is coming on Friday and I’m so excited

So cool! I'm 100% getting this

i think i will choose the standard version because cameron says it more controllable than pioneer version👍

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

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.

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?

i was waiting for this cubee

i was worried if it had good cornercutting, it does and im definitely getting the tornado v3

cant wait to get my v3!

this video feels extra smooth, was it recorded in 120fps and rendered in 60?

IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS CUBE 😭😭

this is crazy as heck dude

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

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.

Wow didn't expect that my comment would appear here, feels amazing tho Very nice review too and I guess My prediction is correct? Can't wait to have one 🔥

The Tornado V3 seems so tempting, but I don't think I would be switching from my WR-Maglev anytime soon. However, the V2 is my OH main, but the V3 is bigger than the V2, so I won't be getting it for OH either.

i got my son the x man tornado v3 and he loved i also tried it

Milan’s huge was epic

Will there be a version with black internals? I've never liked the look of primary

Very excited

I just now noticed that Damian is rocking a Rolex. Nice.

the casing for the x man tornado v3 look like the gan 12 maglev box:))

Very excited for this cube. Definitely hope it’s as good if not better than the tornado v2

I actually want to order some cubes soon, so I hope that it will be available then

Incredible cube and nice video but omg... Rowe with gray hair?

I bought this after losing my gts2m I used for 5 years. I'm partly colorblind and can't tell orange and green apart with these stickerless shades, and now I acerage 3 seconds slower than I used to

Seems like a good upgrade to the previous version, very impressive!

I love how Damian stars speaking straight about the cube, like "f*ck it, they know who I am"

Currently waiting for this cube to arrive

You should do a comparison between x man tornado V2 vs the V3.

Just got my V3 .. so gooood , no I think the best , the feels on it is like you are not fighting with the cube or someting.. * mutual ahahaha.. its a good cube

To me I want the v3 flagship with the black internal but sadly there isn't but I am excited to get it

finally got mine to day still breaking it in.

I was thinking about buying the v2 a few days ago but then I saw this My v3 is on the way

im getting it on tuesday. sounds great.

Gotta pick this up

Also I might stick with the v2 because it is smaller

Got it today i really like it

Man be doing solves with the Rollie on his wrist 😂

Yea i really wish i can get this cube

I have an 11m pro and its easily my best cube but im tempted to get something else. The 11m catches just a bit too much for me and it will on rare occasions turn layers i dont mean to turn. Im thinking of this as my next cube because its a quiet cube and i like the lower pitched cubes.

This is the best cube I have a ever used

Hey what settings did you have it on in the corner cutting test because mine from the factory does cut that well..

Hey I'm planning to buy this cube, but should I get the pioneer or flagship?

the drawing of you in the backround tho😂

1:00, the v2 has frosted interior, not glossy

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!

i also have that! even southeast asian countries sell it and it costs 19.5$ for me in cambodia

Just brought the pioneer.

I want a V3 with primary black internals like the V2

it actually really good

Almost all of them: It's my new main Gan 13: Laughs

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.

I love this cube

You should do a tornado v3 vs gan 13 maglev

Maglev this maglev everything - Phill Yu 2022

Surprised to see Phil using magnet setting 4. I thought he prefers light to moderate magnet strength. He had used magnet setting 2 in the WR M 2021 video. Do the core magnet versions of the Tornado V3 work better with stronger edge magnets? I prefer moderate magnet strength and have never used a core magnet cube. Should I buy the standard version or the flagship version of this cube?

Do you think this cube caught compete with the Gan 11 m pro.Very good video

i recommend the angstrom tornado v3 flagship

1:08 for a Huge improvement

CubeHead easter egg caught me offguard xD

the tornado v3 flagship has some magnets issue, the magnet default setting is 3, when i turn to 2, after 3-4 solved it will back to 3, too bad, its brand new i just got it 2days before 2units, both have the same problem, you guys should check yours

Really feel like Qiyi is missing the UV coating, which is crazy considering they kind of had it initially with the Valk brand. How I wish Valk plastic was a continued option for Qiyi cubes...
