The QiYi Sail 6x6 is the classic version of the 6x6 in the Warrior series: the same compact, non-magnetic cube, but with black plastic pieces and coloured stickers instead of coloured plastic. QiYi reserves the Sail name for these black versions with stickers.

Design

It shares the mechanism of the Warrior 6x6: a one-piece core, anti-stick grooves in the pieces to reduce friction and the risk of pops, and widened outer layers for control. At 60.5 mm it is more compact than traditional 65 mm 6x6s.

Black with stickers or stickerless

The black version with stickers is the traditional presentation of the Rubik’s cube. The stickers can wear or lift with heavy use and can eventually be replaced; in return, the contrast of the black base appeals to anyone who prefers the classic look. If you would rather have the colour in the plastic itself, the same base is available as the stickerless Warrior 6x6.

What level it suits

As it has no magnets, the turning is free and alignment depends on the mechanism. It is a simple option for learning 6x6 reduction (grouping centres and edges to finish as a 3x3) or for owning a 6x6 with a classic look.
