Hypershell, a pioneer in consumer exoskeleton technology and winner of an IFA Innovation Award 2025, has officially launched its latest innovation: the Hypershell X Ultra. Designed to amplify human performance and expand the limits of outdoor exploration, the X Ultra promises to be the ultimate adventure companion—whether you’re walking, hiking, cycling, running, or even climbing. And the best part? It’s available globally starting today.

Redefining Personal Mobility

The X Ultra isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a whole new benchmark for wearable mobility tech. With a mix of raw power, intelligent assistance, extended range, and rugged durability, it enhances natural movement in a way that feels seamless rather than mechanical.

Picture this: a multi-day trek where carrying your gear takes 40% less effort. That kind of assistance can mean walking 5, 10, or even 15 miles further than you thought possible—turning gruelling expeditions into enjoyable journeys.

As Hypershell CEO Kelvin Sun puts it:

“We’re at a frontier where technology doesn’t separate us from the world—it connects us more deeply to it. With X Ultra, our mission is to break down physical barriers so that anyone, regardless of endurance, can say ‘yes’ to that mountain peak or that extra mile.”

Power + Intelligence = Performance

At the heart of the X Ultra is AI MotionEngine Ultra, a powerful system that uses over a dozen integrated sensors to adapt to your movements in real-time. The exoskeleton doesn’t just provide blanket support—it delivers the right amount of assistance, exactly when you need it, making walking, running, and climbing feel smoother, lighter, and more stable.

Then there are the M-One Ultra Motors, which raise the performance bar even higher:

  • 39% reduction in exertion while cycling

  • 20% less effort while walking

  • 63% increase in hip flexor endurance

  • 25% more power, now peaking at a massive 1000W

Battery life has also taken a major leap forward. With upgraded power systems, each charge now supports up to 42,000 steps. And with the two included batteries, you can go as far as 60 km—a huge jump from the previous generation’s 17.5 km.

Smarter Control, More Versatility

The Hypershell X Ultra also levels up control and customization. The MotionEngine Ultra adapts naturally to your stride, but you can also fine-tune your experience through the Hypershell+ App—now with full watchOS support. That means you can adjust modes, tweak power settings, or check status right from your Apple Watch.

Even more impressive are the five new intelligent modes designed for different terrains and activities:

  • Descent Assist – reduces knee strain on steep downhills

  • Cycling+ – dynamic torque for boosted cycling

  • Running+ – extra propulsion during sprints

  • Dune Mode – stability for sandy landscapes

  • Snow Mode – support for trekking through powder

Built for Real Adventures

Weighing just 1.8kg (3.9 lbs), the X Ultra is crafted from aerospace-grade materials for maximum strength without bulk. It’s weather-resistant, ergonomic, and built to keep up with every kind of outdoor pursuit—from casual hikes to extreme exploration.

And for credibility, Hypershell didn’t just make performance claims—they had them independently validated by Société Générale de Surveillance (SGS). Every spec and performance number has been tested and certified, giving adventurers real confidence in what the X Ultra delivers.

A Glimpse Into the Future of Exoskeletons

Until now, exoskeletons have mostly belonged in the world of heavy industry, with bulky designs costing over £ 100,000. Hypershell is flipping that script. The X Ultra represents a new era of lightweight, intelligent, and accessible exoskeletons—wearable tech that adapts in real-time, moves as an extension of your body, and unlocks levels of performance most of us never thought possible.

In other words, exploration just became more accessible. Whether you’re chasing a summit, biking through dunes, or simply looking to go the extra mile, the Hypershell X Ultra is redefining what human endurance looks like.
