X Series lineup

The Hypershell X Series consists of hip-mounted exoskeletons that use electric motors and sensors to add assistance to the user's steps. The devices are intended for use during outdoor activities such as hiking, walking and running[2], to help people hike further[3].

Reception

In December 2024, the Hypershell Carbon X received the CES Innovation Awards 2025 Best of Innovation designation in the Robotics category[4].

Reviews of Hypershell's exoskeletons have been mixed, highlighting both its ability to reduce effort and the trade-offs during use. Noticeable drawbacks include bulk, fitting complexity and the feeling of altered movement.
