Hypershell Reflects on an Inspiring Weekend Showcasing Carbon X at Tokyo Outdoor Show 2025
TOKYO, July 7, 2025 /CNW/ -- Hypershell concluded an inspiring appearance this past weekend at the Tokyo Outdoor Show 2025, held June 27–29 at Makuhari Messe. The spotlight was on Carbon X, Hypershell's ultra-light exoskeleton, drawing attention under the event's theme "New Outdoor Experiences." The company expressed deep gratitude for the warm reception and rich exchange within Japan's pioneering exoskeleton and wearable robotics community. Inspired in part by the iconic cyberpunk manga Ghost in the Shell, Hypershell acknowledges the powerful cultural roots and cutting-edge innovation that Japan brings to robotic exoskeleton technology—an influence reflected in Carbon's design and ambition. Designed for adventurers and professionals, Hypershell Carbon X delivers 1 horsepower (≈ 800 W) output generating 32 N•m peak torque, while recognizing 10 motion postures —from stairs and uphill to gravel running and mountain terrain—through its intelligent AI MotionEngine. Weighing just 1.8 kg with a foldable build, Carbon X offers 17.5 km range per battery, reduced physical exertion by 30%, and increased leg strength up to 40%. Built to withstand extremes with an IP54 rating and operation down to -20 °C, it's also extremely durable thanks to its 3D-formed titanium alloy, carbon fiber, and aluminum alloy structure. Media and attendees had the opportunity to experience Carbon X in person at booth 310, where hands-on demonstrations showcased its seamless assistance and adaptive postural support. The Hypershell X exoskeleton, developed through years of iterative research and development, officially launched in January 2025. Since its release, the Hypershell X has attracted users from over 78 countries and regions worldwide. The company has established a logistics and fulfillment network with 12 centers across North America, Europe, and Asia, supported by a multilingual customer service team dedicated to providing high-quality products, highly compatible software, and long-term customer support. The Hypershell X has been widely embraced by users and partners across various industries. Hypershell is a wearable robotics company redefining mobility through intelligent exoskeleton technology. With a mission to expand human potential, Hypershell empowers users to go farther, faster, and freer. SOURCE Hypershell Co., Ltd.

Hypershell X — The World's First Outdoor Exoskeleton
Science fiction is full of exosuits, but we're now at a point where technology has not only made them possible but also surprisingly affordable. That's mostly thanks to tech company Hypershell, which has launched a trio of exoskeleton models designed to help during everyday life and recreational use. The clever gadget attaches to a user's waist and legs, improving their physical attributes and making things easier on their joints and muscles. Here's what you can expect from the Hypershell X series. Hypershell's X range of exoskeletons offer up to 800W of peak power output (1 horsepower) which manifests itself as up to 40% increased leg strength and 30% less physical exertion. It helps offset a carrying load of around 30kg by generating vertical force of up to that weight while the user walks. This is all achieved via a lightweight construction, made of aluminum alloy, stainless steel and reinforced polymer (the Pro X and Carbon X models add carbon fiber, too), and what the company calls its AI MotionEngine. We've seen the letters 'AI' all too often with little merit, but here the Hypershell's 'brain' takes in information from a variety of sensors in the exoskeleton to adjust the power it pushes to the motors. With gyroscopes, accelerometers, a barometer and more, there's plenty of data being sent at all times, and this AI MotionEngine ensures none of it slips through the cracks. In fact, once you've worn the Hypershell for a time, it'll adapt to match your stride more accurately, ensuring it understands your own gait. Always wanted to run uphill or go on long trail hikes? Now, it's closer than ever to being a reality, regardless of your level of fitness. A post shared by Hypershell (@ A photo posted by on The Hypershell comes in a trio of options, starting at just $999 for the Hypershell Go X. This model weighs 2kg, and offers 18 N·m of torque, with a peak output of 400W and Max Speed Assistance of 12km/h. The Hypershell Pro X increases the exertion reduction (30% up from 20%), doubles the peak output (800W), and hits a speed assistance of a huge 20km/h, while also finding room for additional Motion Postures (think of them loosely as sports modes you'd find on a fitness tracker), so it can cover Gravel, Mountain, Cycling, and Running. That model will set you back $1,199, but you can opt for the $1,799 Carbon X model, which is even lighter than its siblings at 1.8kg, making it an ideal option for outdoor athletes. If all of this sounds intimidating, you might be surprised to know that Hypershell X can be hooked up and ready to go within a minute, and has a single button for changing the assistance level and powering it on or off. The rest of the operation, you simply don't need to think about. Those aforementioned sensors monitor your movement and position in 3D space, and then the AI MotionEngine adjusts the power output of the exoskeleton's two motors accordingly. Doing so not only prevents juddering movements or uncomfortable movement, but also ensures the battery isn't worn down by giving you a whole host of power when you don't need it. You can even remove the battery, which only weighs 400g, and swap it for a fully-charged one, and since they're rated at 5000mAh you can take them on a plane, too. While Hypershell is keen to stress its models aren't for medical usage (or turning you into a superhero) there's still plenty you can do with them. Reviewers have expressed their joy that elderly relatives can now walk farther, enjoying more time outdoors, while it can be a huge help when shouldering heavy weight across extended distances. It could also be ideal for anyone needing to scale steep hills or mountains in a hurry, such as park rangers, since it can propel a user upward over tricky terrain. And for anyone lost in the woods; what better sight is there than an exoskeleton-clad ranger emerging from the trees to help guide them to safety?

Check out this list of custom homebuilders in the Austin metro The Icon homes will be available for fractional purchase starting in the low-$400,000 range per share. Shared ownership of the homes includes one-eighth of the property, six weeks of annual usage and year-round membership benefits, along with the ability to trade weeks or generate income through a vacation rental program in partnership with Inspirato, Book Above and ThirdHome. Icon's homes, which are 3D-printed with a cementitious material called CarbonX, come with a variety of benefits, according to the company. They're rated to withstand 250-mph winds and also can withstand fires for nearly three hours. The printed walls help reduce temperature fluctuations during summer and winter, and the homes can be built much quicker than traditional builds. The remaining 20 homes in The Canyon Club will start at $2.6 million. The traditionally built homes will have four- and five-bedroom floor plans. expand The Canyon Club also will feature traditionally-built homes, such as the one depicted in this rendering. The Canyon Club Sales at The Canyon Club launch in May, according to the development's website. Other project partners at The Canyon Club include Daybreak Hospitality Group, creators of Austin's Paperboy and Loudmouth restaurants, interior design studio Kempt Studio and Mark Richardson Architects. Icon's homes have been cropping up throughout the metro in recent years. 'We're now underway on our third project with Community First! Village, building homes for the chronically homeless,' Icon Chief Financial Officer Tom vonReichbauer told the Austin Business Journal last month. 'We've built classic middle-market homes in Wolf Ranch up in Georgetown and some higher-end homes down in Wimberly more recently. We think the technology is a great solution across the full spectrum of housing.' Additionally, the company recently announced it would build several urban infill homes in East Austin's Mueller neighborhood.
