MoYu AoSu V7 4x4 (Double-Track + Matte Special Edition)

Before I dive into this review, I want to mention that I already own three regular AoSu V7 Double-Track cubes (excluding this Matte version) and a Single-Track version. I’ll be directly comparing this special edition to those.

Out of the box, the AoSu V7 Double-Track Matte was very fast, dry, scratchy, and extremely uncontrollable. This changed drastically after tensioning, and even before any lubrication. The turning immediately stood out: it was insanely light, much easier to perform slice moves than any of my other AoSu V7s. The magnet strength (both outer and inner layers) felt more subtle compared to the regular Double-Track and Single-Track versions, but still pronounced enough to keep turning clean.

This is very close to what my dream 4x4 would turn like. On the standard Double-Track and Single-Track versions, slice moves required a lot more force, and I experienced more catches. On the Matte Special Edition, these problems were gone — slice moves are much lighter, and I catch far less. After only a few dozen solves, I even managed to break my personal best with a sub-35 second single, which says a lot about the cube’s potential.

Physically, the cube is slightly lighter, weighing 98g compared to the regular Double-Track’s 99g — likely because of the lack of UV coating. But the "lighter" feeling isn't just about weight: the turning itself is physically easier. Movements feel effortless compared to the standard editions.

In terms of stability, I initially experienced a few catches simply because of how fast the cube was, but no major lockups or pops occurred during solves. It feels reliable.

Now for the finish: I’m a huge fan of matte and satin finishes. The cube looks much more premium, especially when you consider that many puzzles today come with high price tags. I didn’t notice any meaningful difference in grip during solves compared to UV-coated versions. However, the Matte version looks much cleaner and sophisticated in my eyes. MoYu nailed the aesthetic here, and I hope they start offering more non-UV versions in the future, also using this cleaner logo.

Pros:
Incredibly fast and light turning

Easier slice moves than regular Double-Track and Single-Track versions

Premium matte finish with clean logo

Subtle but effective magnet strength

No major lockups or pops

Cons:
Might be too fast out of the box for some people (needs setup)

Final Verdict:
The AoSu V7 Double-Track Matte Special Edition is easily my new main — it's the perfect choice for anyone who wants a fast, light-turning 4x4 that looks and feels premium right out of the box.

10$ cheaper than the standard double track and significantly better, also comes in Matte, which I prefer over UV coating, and also moyu's UV coating tends to have bad quality, overall great cube and I recommend over the standard Aosu double track from a performance aspect and a price aspect

Amazing! better than I ever thought a 4x4 could be,
Moves better than some of my 3x3's and I think this cube is worth every penny.

I'm a slow solver, so this review may not be relevant to many others. This is the best of six 4x4 puzzles I've tried. It's fast out of the box. In particular, both inner and outer layers are fast. Importantly, all layers are equally fast. It seems stable. I've had no lockups or pops. Perhaps the edge-to-corner magnets could be a bit stronger? It improves on the standard AoSu V7 double-track by allowing you to separate the two inner layers and to make single layer slice turns without resistance. It retains the advantage (for me) of the smaller size of the AoSu V7. Matte or UV is a personal preference. It's faster and smaller than the otherwise good Vin 4x4. This puzzle is an instant main for me!

This is easily the best version of this cube. It has different springs than the original as well as a ballcore, with these changes it makes a already premium cube feel more premium! An angstrom set-up would take this next level

Looks great turns really well. Its nice to use an actual good 4x4 speedcube

Love the logo. Turns really well.

This cube is awesome. I kid you not my 4x4 best single was 1:40.something-or-other and I ot this cube. The first solve I did, my nose was itchy, so I put down the cube, scratched my nose, and then kept solving, the time was 1:37.309. At the competition I went to that weekend, I got 3 sub 1:30's in comp! My new PB is 1:23.i forgot the decimal ##, but I did DNF a 1:13 (I messed up the last alg), so just buy the cube already and stop reading comments, its great, just buy it, please, now. Yes. Yay. Now, good job. :D

Great cube, corner cutting is much better than I expected, It feels stable, the inner magnets remind me the valk4, I really like it. The 3x3 stage is excellent thanks to the 58mm size and the (VERY) )light weight. No corner twists, no pops.
