SHENZHENMay 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hypershell, the world’s leading consumer-grade exoskeleton brand, today unveiled the all-new Hypershell X Series, ushering in a new era of end-to-end AI-driven exoskeleton wearable travel. The series includes the flagship Hypershell X Ultra S, the mainstream performance model X Max S, and the daily lightweight model X Pro S, offering users different options for heavy outdoor use, light outdoor use, urban commuting, and daily scenarios. The domestic prices for the three models are RMB 13,999, RMB 9,999, and RMB 6,999, respectively, and they are now officially on sale.
The all-new Hypershell X Series is another masterpiece from Hypershell. As a wearable exoskeleton, it aims to support human movement in a more natural, immediate, and reliable way. The new X Series is equipped with the HyperIntuition™ end-to-end AI motion control algorithm, which can read the user’s intentions, accurately perceive pace, terrain, and movement changes, and provide seamless and natural assistance support in mixed complex terrains. Meanwhile, the Hypershell X Ultra S is equipped with the next-generation M-One Ultra motor system, capable of handling high-intensity movements and diverse terrains with ease. The X Ultra S offers a single-charge range of up to 30 kilometers, with comprehensive improvements in motor efficiency. In terms of comfort, the upgraded ergonomic wearable system features multi-zone padding combined with an anti-slip design, ensuring a stable and snug fit even during prolonged use.
As the category definer and leader in the exoskeleton track, Hypershell’s leading product strength has been continuously validated in market performance. Over the past year, Hypershell has achieved the top sales volume and market share in the exoskeleton category on JD.com, while consistently leading the sales charts on Amazon platforms in the United States and Europe. From zero to number one, the consumer-grade exoskeleton track has witnessed a defining moment for Chinese brands represented by Hypershell. The launch of the all-new Hypershell X Series is a key engine for Hypershell’s market scale expansion in the next phase.
Currently, Hypershell has successfully completed its Series B+ financing round, raising $50 million. The Series B+ round was led by Ant Group and Meituan Longzhu, with participation from Sofina and Granite Asia, and Gohigh Capital served as the exclusive financial advisor.
User-Centric: Making the Machine Understand You, Rather Than Making People Adapt to the Machine
Adhering to this philosophy, Hypershell’s self-developed AI-driven motion control algorithm, HyperIntuition™, was born. HyperIntuition™ evolves the exoskeleton’s assistance from a segmented mechanism of “motion sensing → intention prediction → power response” into an instinctive synergy of “sense and move.” It achieves more natural self-adaptation in complex and dynamic movements—faster response, more accurate judgment, and a more synchronized, body-fitting support experience in dynamic outdoor environments.
“Since our founding, we have focused on the deep integration of AI and hardware,” said Sun Kuan, founder of Hypershell. “The launch of the all-new Hypershell X Series and HyperIntuition™ marks a new era for exoskeleton technology, moving from traditional rule-based modeling to end-to-end motion control. Our goal is to create exoskeletons that can more naturally respond to human movement and seamlessly coordinate with the body.”
Verified by the globally authoritative independent testing organization TÜV Rheinland, the all-new Hypershell X Series achieves 97.5% human-machine gait coordination efficiency and a response time as low as 0.31 seconds under various terrain conditions—a 64.5% improvement over the previous generation—making it the world’s first consumer-grade exoskeleton with end-to-end technology integration certified by TÜV Rheinland. This verification is based on a new testing protocol designed from an ergonomic perspective: sudden rhythm changes, instant start-stop, seamless step transitions—challenges derived from real-world scenarios to validate the exoskeleton’s compatibility with natural human gait.
Additionally, Hypershell plans to introduce an AI Agent smart assistant, integrating AI Agent functionality and designed for more powerful experiences in the future. In its initial phase, it will serve as a smart coach, helping users better understand their own movements, optimize exoskeleton settings, and personalize the assistance experience for different activities and environments.
Flagship Model X Ultra S: Built for Demanding Outdoors, Crafted for Critical Moments
Led by the flagship Hypershell X Ultra S, the all-new Hypershell X Series features comprehensive upgrades in hardware, comfort, and durability, specifically designed for more enduring, robust, and demanding outdoor use.
The all-new Hypershell X Ultra S is equipped with Hypershell’s next-generation M-One Ultra motor system, featuring an upgraded motor architecture with optimized windings and slot fill factor, achieving up to 90% energy conversion efficiency while reducing heat loss by 50%. Verified by SGS authoritative testing, this system can reduce oxygen consumption by up to 39.2% and heart rate by up to 42.7%, effectively alleviating muscle load and enhancing overall athletic performance. With a maximum output power of 1000W, peak torque of 22N•m, and a maximum step speed of 25km/h—these are not just numbers, but a new feeling of going further with less burden.
In terms of battery life, thanks to the highly efficient motor design, the all-new Hypershell X Ultra S offers a single-battery range of up to 30 kilometers. The X Ultra S comes standard with dual batteries, which can be easily swapped when the charge is low, allowing users to enjoy the assistance advantage all day long. Additionally, the X Ultra S includes a charging dock and charger as standard, providing users with a more convenient charging experience. For wearability, the newly upgraded three-zone back pad naturally adapts to different body types, while the honeycomb silicone anti-slip design ensures a secure and snug fit during movement. The ergonomic back pad enhances lumbar support—the high level of fit and comfort ensures that even when worn and walking all day, users can forget the device’s presence.
In terms of materials and craftsmanship, the all-new Hypershell X Ultra S is the industry’s first to feature aerospace-grade titanium alloy 3D-printed hip linkages and SpiralTwill 3000 carbon fiber composite leg linkages, boasting a sports car-grade strength of 3500 MPa. After 1 million high-torque swing cycle tests, they remain lightweight, resilient, and stable. It also features IP54-rated dust and water resistance, stable operation within a temperature range of -20°C to 60°C, ensuring reliable performance even in extreme environments.
HyperLIFT Rescue Innovation Field Testing Project Officially Launched: Safeguarding the Light of Life with Technology
At the launch event, Hypershell officially introduced the HyperLIFT Rescue Innovation Field Testing Project. This project aims to establish partnerships with global search and rescue teams, providing exoskeletons free of charge to explore how wearable technology can help reduce fatigue, enhance operational safety, and support rescue teams in better completing their missions in real-world rescue scenarios.
“HyperLIFT brings our vision into the real world, supporting rescue teams operating in the most physically and mentally challenging environments, helping them go further with less effort,” said Toby Knisely, Global Communications Director at Hypershell. This year, Hypershell plans to provide exoskeletons to over 50 search and rescue organizations for field testing, feedback collection, and case studies, with plans to expand to more institutions in the future.
