Ever wonder what it feels like to feel stronger, faster and lighter all at once?
That’s the best way I can describe what it feels like to walk with an exoskeleton. I had the chance to try the contraption, designed by the brand Hypershell, which looks and sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie.
Hypershell exoskeletons work with electrical assist technology and smart sensors that read and react to the body’s movements in real time to enhance motion and deliver precise support during physical activity — walking, jogging, hiking, running and even biking.
It’s a powerful way to make exercise and adventure a little more fun — and during Prime Day, four models are heavily discounted on Amazon, with savings of up to $800. I previously tested out the brand’s popular Hypershell X Pro, which is currently on sale for just $699.
How We Find the Real Deals
Here at The Post, we don’t just diligently fact-check to call out fake news — we also relentlessly price-check to get you inflation-beating bargains you can trust. Before we recommend a single Prime Day purchase, our experienced bargain hunters put every “deal” through our price-checking gauntlet:
- The Background Check: We use hardcore tracking tools like CamelCamelCamel, Keepa and Amazon’s own Alexa to audit price history, ensuring mega sales aren’t just regular prices in disguise.
- The Retail Rivalry: We diligently cross-reference competitors like Walmart and Target to guarantee you actually see the lowest price on the web.
- And We’re Live: We track real-time trends and update our live coverage 24/7, keeping pace with shopper needs and retailer fluctuations.
In my review, I write that upon turning it on, I felt “a pulse of energy jolted up my legs, and my feet wanted to levitate. I was still in full control of my body, but I had the urge to march, and when I did, I felt like I was walking in zero gravity… experiencing Hyper Mode, I felt like a child again; energized, efficient, and almost weightless.”
My coworker, Adam Schubak, also tested two newer models: the Hypershell X Ultra S and Hypershell X Ultra. While he mentioned that it took some time to get used to the movement, he explained the weirdness went away after a couple of uses — and he actually found himself thoroughly enjoying the experience.
“I’m so used to doing my bi-weekly walks that they don’t really feel like exercise anymore, but doing them with Hypershell made me feel like I was using leg muscles that haven’t seen action in a long time. I certainly felt a difference,” he writes in his piece.
With summer just around the corner, there’s no better time to invest in gear that can supercharge your outdoor adventures and encourage exercise. Not to mention, these Prime Day deals provide a rare chance for shoppers to save hundreds on this next-gen technology.
Hypershell X Go Exoskeleton
AmazonThe Hypershell X Go Exoskeleton boasts a formidable 400W peak power “to conquer demanding hills and trails.”
It also offers an extended 15 km range on a single charge (battery not included), along with adaptive AI technology that recognizes and adjusts to six different terrain types. It is lightweight, adjustable and rated IP54 for dust and water resistance, so you can use it rain or shine.
For those looking to enter the exoskeleton world, the X Go model offers a great starting point. And during Prime Day, you can score it for just under $600.
Hypershell X Pro Exoskeleton
AmazonFor a level up, consider the Hypershell X Pro Exoskeleton, now on sale for $700.
According to Hypershell, the upgraded model of the Hypershell X Go Exoskeleton is said to potentially increase leg strength by up to 40% and reduce physical exertion by around 30%. It features high peak power output and an extended range of up to 17.5 km on a single charge.
Plus, its AI MotionEngine detects user movement intentions in real time and automatically adjusts assistance to deliver precise support, with a near-instant response time of just 0.03 seconds.
You still get the same sturdy construction and water resistance, plus that added boost in responsiveness.
Hypershell X Carbon Exoskeleton
AmazonFor those who enjoy physical challenges and appreciate a sense of thrill, the Hypershell X Carbon Exoskeleton delivers a powerful experience to support you on all your adventures.
At just 1.8 kg, its ultra-light design is even lighter than previous models, yet it still provides exceptional strength with up to 800W of power — plus precisely timed assistance optimized for real-world movement and activity. And users can enjoy the freedom of an extended 17.5 km range on a single charge.
It’s also more versatile than other models, with an AI system that recognizes and adapts to 10 distinct terrains, delivering responsive support across a wide range of conditions — including stairs, mountain terrain and cycling.
Hypershell X Ultra Exoskeleton
AmazonThe Hypershell X Ultra Exoskeleton can handle everything from “city streets to alpine peaks”, and it’s not often that you can save over $600 on the next-generation system. For anyone who likes to push their boundaries, this model is a serious investment.
According to Hypershell, the X Ultra can assist to the point of a 42% drop in average heart rate and 39% less physical exertion — just imagine what you could do with that extra stored energy.
The upgraded AI Motion Engine recognizes 12 different terrain types, whether you’re pedaling or sprinting through heavy sand, and it adapts in real time. It delivers a 100W output, and you can get up to 30 km on a single charge.
One reviewer writes, “it makes me feel like a kid again.”
