Spending time outdoors and exploring the beauty of nature can truly be a wonderful experience. But even if you’re a seasoned hiker or cyclist, everyone has their limits when it comes to how much they can push themselves. And when you find yourself in the middle of nowhere, exhausted, with sore legs, and wondering how you’ll get back to camp or your car, the view is probably the last thing on your mind.
Thankfully, modern technology is here to lend a hand, in the form of exoskeletons. These sleek, minimalistic gadgets can enhance your outdoor adventures, helping you go further and hike longer. One of the top brands leading the way is Hypershell, with their incredible outdoor exoskeleton — the Hypershell X Ultra. Here’s everything you need to know.
Push your limits with the Hypershell X Ultra
If you hear “exoskeleton” and immediately picture Iron Man’s suit, we wouldn’t blame you. But the Hypershell X Ultra is far sleeker, minimalistic, and more comfortable. You won’t be flying around just yet, but what you can do is breathe easier on those long hikes, climb that hill faster, or run that extra mile or two with ease — anything that you were struggling with before.
The Hypershell X Ultra is designed to fit comfortably around your waist with strapped extensions tied just above your knees. Built with aerospace-grade materials and carbon fiber, it weighs a barely noticeable 1.8 kg, and with a battery pack adding just 400 grams, you can easily carry spares with you on longer hikes and walks. It doesn’t take long to get used to, and after a while, it feels like a natural extension of your body.
The main goal here is to help you move more and with less effort. That starts with the brand-new M-One Ultra motor system, which includes two motors, one attached to each hip, providing 1000W of peak output. That’s an additional 1.3 horsepower. But it’s not just about the power. It’s supported by AI algorithms that analyze your movements in real time. As you cross different types of terrain, climb slopes, or go downhill, the exoskeleton automatically adjusts its output to match your needs.
And Hypershell has the data to back up its claims, which have been independently verified and audited by SGS SA in Switzerland, a leader in testing, inspection, and certification. According to Hypershell’s internal testing, the X Ultra can reduce physical exertion while walking by 22% and while cycling by 39%. You’ll also notice a significant reduction in both your average and peak heart rates during these activities, lowered by as much as an impressive 40%.
The Hypershell X Ultra is built to last and designed with quality materials that you can trust. The frame, made from custom SpiralTwill 3000 carbon fiber with high-end dry carbon molding, is similar to what you’d see in high-performance cars. It’s scratch- and abrasion-resistant, even in rocky environments. And the critical load-bearing parts are made from aerospace-grade titanium alloy, offering outstanding strength without adding weight.
Plus, it’s built to handle different weather conditions. The Hypershell X Ultra is rated IP54 for dust and water resistance and can operate in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). On a full charge in Eco mode, you can enjoy up to 30 kilometers, about 42,000 steps. aAd switch to Hyper mode for the thrill of 6 kilometers of high-power bursts. And if you want to keep going, the battery is easily replaceable, so you can extend your adventures whenever you like.
