Hypershell X Ultra is simply the best outdoor exoskeleton in the world

The future is now. Hypershell X Ultra is an outdoor exoskeleton like no other. This is a hardware personal performance enhancer that will take you further, make you strong, give you more stamina, and take you to places you never thought possible.
If you have been impressed by exoskeletons in the past, prepare to be impressed all over again. The Hypershell X Ultra is a consumer technology product that can be used for hiking, running, cycling, and so much more. Dual motors give you greater strength, stop you from tiring so easily, and help to keep your heart rate low.
With the power of AI built in, Hypershell X Ultra can respond and adapt to what you are doing and the environment you are in in an instant.
Go beyond the impossible
Hypershell X Ultra has not appeared out of the blue. This is the product of years of development and sits at the top of a family of exoskeletons designed with various types of person in mind. While the Hypershell X Go is an assistant for enhancing everyday movement, the Hypershell X Pro is for more serious adventuring.
The lightweight nature of the Hypershell X Carbon lends itself to extreme performance, fast movement and demanding tasks. Hypershell X Ultra goes beyond all of these, easily earning itself the label of the world’s best exoskeleton to date. Whether used for walking, running, cycling, hiking, climbing, or any of hundreds of other activities, Hypershell X Ultra will help you to do more, faster and better, all while feeling less tired.
Boasting an impressive 25 percent peak power boost compared to previous generations, Hypershell X Ultra offers 1000 watts of peak power. It is not just power that has been improved. Battery enhancements mean that Hypershell X Ultra provides up to 30km of range, which is a significant increase from previous versions, and enough for the majority of scenarios.
Should mention of the word ‘exoskeleton’ conjure up an image of something bulky, unwieldy and heavy, it is time to think again. Built from aerospace-grade materials, Hypershell X Ultra fits easily over normal clothing and weighs in at a mere 1.8kg, excluding the battery. It folds up for easy transportation, and with the batteries themselves weighing just 400g, they are light enough to carry a spare. You can even justify taking two (or more!) if you have extremely demanding challenges ahead of you.
But the fact that Hypershell X Ultra is light does not mean it is weak. Well over half of the frame (60 percent) is made from custom SpiralTwill 3000 carbon fiber, and it is highly resistant to scratches and abrasion.
Your new sport and adventure tool
Powered by a series of sensors and motors, Hypershell X Ultra easily adapts to numerous uses in a variety of terrains. Walking up and down stairs has never been easier. For everyday hiking and trekking, it will help you to travel further, while on camping trips, you will be able to carry heavier loads for longer.
Getting into more sporty territory, jogging, running and cycling are all perfect candidates for enhancement with Hypershell X Ultra. If you are looking to take things up a notch, there are Running+ and Cycling+ modes which offer a different level of assistance.
When activated, these modes provide stronger acceleration and more aggressive assistance so you can get away faster. If speed is important, you can operate in Hyper mode and expect to enjoy a 6km range – a reduced distance, but much faster.
There are also new Snow and Dune modes for exploring different environments. Whether you are running or walking on snow or sand, this is a very different experience from when on hard ground. As such, Hypershell X Ultra provides tailored assistance to ensure smooth, stable performance on this type of shifting terrain.
Whatever type of activity you enjoy, the AI MotionEngine Ultra uses input from multiple sensors to learn your gait and predict how you will move next, enabling it to make the necessary motor and assistance adjustments.
Control on your terms
You may have already wondered about how easy it may or may not be to change settings and switch modes while moving. There is no need to stop and fiddle with buttons, interrupting your activity. Thanks to the mobile app, Hypershell X Ultra can be controlled, refined, and personalized from your phone.
But if even the idea of pulling out your phone in the middle of an activity seems like too much, things are now even easier. The Apple Watch app provides a way to make adjustments quickly and easily from your wrist. It could hardly be simpler. If you suddenly reach a downhill section on your run, raise your wrist and you can switch to the relevant mode in a flash.
And when you do switch to downhill mode, you will feel the benefits of the new buffering feature, which uses a range of techniques to reduce knee strain. By adjusting assistance mode in real time, Hypershell X Ultra increases support for the leg you are standing on and reduces the impact on the leg taking a stride.
The Hypershell X Ultra, as well as a range of accessories, is available to buy directly from the company’s website.
