About Hypershell

Hypershell is a Shenzhen, China-based company developing AI-powered wearable exoskeletons designed for outdoor activities and daily use. Founded in 2022, the company won Best of Innovation in Robotics at CES 2025, cementing its position as a leader in consumer exoskeleton technology. The X Series product line includes the Go (entry-level), Pro (enhanced features), and Carbon (premium) models. The flagship Hypershell X packs 800 watts of power and 32 N·m of torque into an ultra-light 1.8 kg design. The X Ultra delivers 1000W of elite power with 30km battery range (60km with dual batteries), SGS certification, watchOS support, and 12 intelligent modes including hiking, cycling, running, mountain trekking, snow, dune, walking, speed walking, uphill, downhill, gravel, and stairs. The AI MotionEngine detects movement intentions in real-time with just 0.03 seconds of latency, automatically adjusting assistance for precise support. Performance testing demonstrates 39% reduction in physical exertion when cycling, 20% less exertion when walking, and 63% increase in hip flexor endurance. The exoskeleton provides noticeable relief for quadriceps, hamstrings, and hips during hiking, with users reporting faster summit times with less exertion. The technology is designed for outdoor enthusiasts who can walk independently—it requires users to lift their legs and maintain balance without assistance. Limitations include reduced functionality on technical scrambling terrain. Hypershell operates direct-to-consumer through their Shopify platform with multi-regional shipping and integration with major payment systems including Klarna.
