The future of walking just got a power boost

Say hello to Hypershell X, the world's first outdoor exoskeleton made for people who live to move. All-terrain hikers, weekend backpackers, globetrotting photographers, and people who just like to walk a lot, will have the Hypershell X just change how they think about walking. Weighing in at just 4 pounds, this lightweight, foldable booster straps around your waist and thighs to give your legs an AI-powered boost with each step. And no, it's not some bulky cyborg cosplay — the Hypershell X is sleek, discreet, and ready to blend in with your daily attire. Power, intelligence, and performance The exoskeleton's claim to fame is its ability to add 40% more leg strength while reducing your overall exertion by 30%. Those are some stats that will give you zero hesitation about tackling that one uphill trail you've been waning on or lugging a 65-pound backpack. Hypershell takes the brunt of it so you can save your joints from the strain. Its AI MotionEngine adapts to your gait and the terrain by using a network of sensors to anticipate your movement and respond dynamically. The more you wear it, the better it gets. It learns your 'stride signature' to deliver power assistance that feels intuitive and seamless. The Hypershell X comes in three models: Go, Pro, and Carbon. Each shares the same 800W peak output and adaptive modes, but steps up in durability and versatility. The Pro and Carbon versions, for instance, boast 10 activity modes including running, mountain hiking, and gravel terrain. With a battery range just shy of 11 miles per charge and a fast-charging time of under 90 minutes, it's ready for the long haul. Built for movement, not for show The Hypershell team built this product for everyday adventurers, not sci-fi labs or military gearheads. Hypershell will help you do more of what you already love: exploring, moving, and seeing the sights. And thanks to an IP54 water- and dust-resistant build, and wide operating temperature range (-4° to 140°F), you can take it almost anywhere. Control is simple, too. There is a companion app for fine-tuning and performance tracking, but you don't need it to use the core features. A built-in button lets you switch modes, power on and off, and the dial in assist levels on the fly. You will receive a gentle buzz when you make changes to get the satisfying haptic feedback. Hypershell is, in every sense, a first-of-its-kind category creator. It's a wearable that tracks your movement while transforming it. The next step in mobility? It's powered. Get ready to hike farther, climb higher, and explore longer with a little help from your Hypershell.

Hypershell Reflects on an Inspiring Weekend Showcasing Carbon X at Tokyo Outdoor Show 2025

TOKYO, July 7, 2025 /CNW/ -- Hypershell concluded an inspiring appearance this past weekend at the Tokyo Outdoor Show 2025, held June 27–29 at Makuhari Messe. The spotlight was on Carbon X, Hypershell's ultra-light exoskeleton, drawing attention under the event's theme "New Outdoor Experiences." The company expressed deep gratitude for the warm reception and rich exchange within Japan's pioneering exoskeleton and wearable robotics community. Inspired in part by the iconic cyberpunk manga Ghost in the Shell, Hypershell acknowledges the powerful cultural roots and cutting-edge innovation that Japan brings to robotic exoskeleton technology—an influence reflected in Carbon's design and ambition. Designed for adventurers and professionals, Hypershell Carbon X delivers 1 horsepower (≈ 800 W) output generating 32 N•m peak torque, while recognizing 10 motion postures —from stairs and uphill to gravel running and mountain terrain—through its intelligent AI MotionEngine. Weighing just 1.8 kg with a foldable build, Carbon X offers 17.5 km range per battery, reduced physical exertion by 30%, and increased leg strength up to 40%. Built to withstand extremes with an IP54 rating and operation down to -20 °C, it's also extremely durable thanks to its 3D-formed titanium alloy, carbon fiber, and aluminum alloy structure. Media and attendees had the opportunity to experience Carbon X in person at booth 310, where hands-on demonstrations showcased its seamless assistance and adaptive postural support. The Hypershell X exoskeleton, developed through years of iterative research and development, officially launched in January 2025. Since its release, the Hypershell X has attracted users from over 78 countries and regions worldwide. The company has established a logistics and fulfillment network with 12 centers across North America, Europe, and Asia, supported by a multilingual customer service team dedicated to providing high-quality products, highly compatible software, and long-term customer support. The Hypershell X has been widely embraced by users and partners across various industries. Hypershell is a wearable robotics company redefining mobility through intelligent exoskeleton technology. With a mission to expand human potential, Hypershell empowers users to go farther, faster, and freer. SOURCE Hypershell Co., Ltd.

Hypershell X — The World's First Outdoor Exoskeleton

Science fiction is full of exosuits, but we're now at a point where technology has not only made them possible but also surprisingly affordable. That's mostly thanks to tech company Hypershell, which has launched a trio of exoskeleton models designed to help during everyday life and recreational use. The clever gadget attaches to a user's waist and legs, improving their physical attributes and making things easier on their joints and muscles. Here's what you can expect from the Hypershell X series. Hypershell's X range of exoskeletons offer up to 800W of peak power output (1 horsepower) which manifests itself as up to 40% increased leg strength and 30% less physical exertion. It helps offset a carrying load of around 30kg by generating vertical force of up to that weight while the user walks. This is all achieved via a lightweight construction, made of aluminum alloy, stainless steel and reinforced polymer (the Pro X and Carbon X models add carbon fiber, too), and what the company calls its AI MotionEngine. We've seen the letters 'AI' all too often with little merit, but here the Hypershell's 'brain' takes in information from a variety of sensors in the exoskeleton to adjust the power it pushes to the motors. With gyroscopes, accelerometers, a barometer and more, there's plenty of data being sent at all times, and this AI MotionEngine ensures none of it slips through the cracks. In fact, once you've worn the Hypershell for a time, it'll adapt to match your stride more accurately, ensuring it understands your own gait. Always wanted to run uphill or go on long trail hikes? Now, it's closer than ever to being a reality, regardless of your level of fitness. A post shared by Hypershell (@ A photo posted by on The Hypershell comes in a trio of options, starting at just $999 for the Hypershell Go X. This model weighs 2kg, and offers 18 N·m of torque, with a peak output of 400W and Max Speed Assistance of 12km/h. The Hypershell Pro X increases the exertion reduction (30% up from 20%), doubles the peak output (800W), and hits a speed assistance of a huge 20km/h, while also finding room for additional Motion Postures (think of them loosely as sports modes you'd find on a fitness tracker), so it can cover Gravel, Mountain, Cycling, and Running. That model will set you back $1,199, but you can opt for the $1,799 Carbon X model, which is even lighter than its siblings at 1.8kg, making it an ideal option for outdoor athletes. If all of this sounds intimidating, you might be surprised to know that Hypershell X can be hooked up and ready to go within a minute, and has a single button for changing the assistance level and powering it on or off. The rest of the operation, you simply don't need to think about. Those aforementioned sensors monitor your movement and position in 3D space, and then the AI MotionEngine adjusts the power output of the exoskeleton's two motors accordingly. Doing so not only prevents juddering movements or uncomfortable movement, but also ensures the battery isn't worn down by giving you a whole host of power when you don't need it. You can even remove the battery, which only weighs 400g, and swap it for a fully-charged one, and since they're rated at 5000mAh you can take them on a plane, too. While Hypershell is keen to stress its models aren't for medical usage (or turning you into a superhero) there's still plenty you can do with them. Reviewers have expressed their joy that elderly relatives can now walk farther, enjoying more time outdoors, while it can be a huge help when shouldering heavy weight across extended distances. It could also be ideal for anyone needing to scale steep hills or mountains in a hurry, such as park rangers, since it can propel a user upward over tricky terrain. And for anyone lost in the woods; what better sight is there than an exoskeleton-clad ranger emerging from the trees to help guide them to safety?
