The Gan speed Cube is a 3x3 that is regarded as the best cube in the world by many speedcubers. It comes with premium features and has a fast and stable feel.

Its main innovation is the core-edge magnetic posting system. This makes the turning incredibly smooth and comfortable, lowering the intensity of the turns without sacrificing stability.

The History

The Gan cube brand was founded in 2011 by the Chinese national Rubik’s Cube speedsolving champion, Ganyuan Jiang. He was the first to show high-speed assembly of the Rubik’s Cube.

In the 2000s, hardware improvements were made by Chinese companies to make cubes more usable and affordable. These improvements included hardware modifications such as putting magnets in the core.

This innovation allowed people to turn faster and more precise without worrying about the deformations of the cube. This innovation is credited with helping to revive the popularity of the cube.

GAN is one of the leading manufacturers of professional speed cubes in the world. They are known for their innovative designs, including the first mass-produced magnetic speed cubes. They also sponsor many top professional speedcubers such as Feliks Zemdegs, Max Park and Sebastian Weyer.

The UM

One of the most well-known brands of speed cubes, Gan is synonymous with quality. They were the first to introduce magnetic Rubik’s Cubes, and have a reputation for producing the best puzzles in the world.

The UM is one of the most famous models in Gan’s history. It’s been used by many of the world’s top cubers, including Feliks Zemdegs, Max Park and Sebastian Weyer.

A continuation of the Gan 11 line, this model has MagLev technology to replicate springs and corner-core magnetization for a faster feel and better stability.

This is a great puzzle for people who are looking to get into speedcubing. The cube is a little fast at first but it’s easy to adjust the tension and add lube to increase control.

The SM

GAN speed cubes have a reputation for some of the best quality puzzles on the market today. Gan have made a lot of advancements in their 3x3s, including the first elasticity system (GES), the first self-magnetizing 3x3s (Gan 356 Air UM), and more.

They have also pushed the envelope in terms of presentation. Their GES nuts system allows you to adjust your cube by hand using the springs, rather than needing tools to tension it.

They are also known for their unique honeycomb design on the pieces, which adds to the smooth feel. They also pioneered the use of interchangeable magnets in their 3x3s, allowing you to change the magnets in your puzzle without needing to buy another one!

The 11 M Pros

Gan is a well-known speed cube brand and their 3x3s are some of the best on the market. They also make a variety of different products including cube robots and light-weight twisty puzzles.

The 11 M Pro is GAN's upcoming 2020 flagship 3x3 cube and features a unique and industry-first omnidirectional magnetic core. This new system replaces the traditional 48 magnets with 64 omnidirectional magnets that stem from the core to each corner base, creating a strong but smooth magnetic feel without an aggressive snap.

This omnidirectional magnet design also allows for faster, more efficient corner cutting than any other speed cube available. This is especially useful for novices who are accustomed to standard cubes but are trying out the speedcubing world.

The 356 M

The 356 M is a modern, mid-range magnetic 3x3 speed cube from popular manufacturer GAN. It has a fast, stable feel that is very reminiscent of the GAN XS and GAN X V2, two of the most famous flagships from the brand.

It also offers a unique and luxurious feel that is hard to find in a standard cube. This is because it uses GAN's unique hand adjustable Numerical IPG Core that replaces the separate screws and springs with nuts (GES) encased in springs.

The GES have 2 modes that represent different elasticity strengths. Generally, senior masters will tune the tightness of a cube according to their own preferences and this makes the cube more suitable for speed bursts.
