The Hypershell Halo, showcased at IFA 2026, is a new type of wearable technology known as an exoskeleton, designed to provide powered support to the entire leg. Unlike earlier models, the Halo features four motors and can deliver up to 1,490 watts of power, making it more powerful than its predecessor, the X Ultra S. While the X Ultra S focused its motorized assistance on the pelvis, the Halo adds two additional motors at the knees, allowing for more comprehensive support during walking, climbing, and navigating uneven ground. The Halo’s design includes a lightweight carbon fiber frame that connects four joints, offering structural support and flexibility. A key feature is the HyperIntuition 2.0 system, which uses over 30 sensors to detect and adapt to the user’s movements. According to Hypershell, this system can predict the user’s intentions approximately 200 milliseconds in advance and adjust assistance up to 2,500 times per second. The company claims this technology reduces muscle fatigue around the knee by up to 40% during sit-stand movements, though these results were tested under controlled conditions and not yet validated in real-world hiking scenarios. In terms of portability, the Halo folds into a compact size of eight liters and is rated with an IP54 certification, which means it is protected against water splashes and dust. The exoskeleton itself weighs 2.6 kilograms, but with the harness and a 370-gram battery, the total weight carried by the user is nearly 3.6 kilograms. The Halo’s removable 72 Wh battery provides up to 20 kilometers of assistance per charge, slightly less than the 30 kilometers offered by the X Ultra S. However, these estimates depend on factors like terrain, the level of assistance required, and the user's weight. The first 200 units of the Halo, part of a special "Origin Edition," are priced at 2,299 euros—300 euros more than the X Ultra S. This limited edition includes an extra battery and a one-year extended warranty. Hypershell states that the Halo is not intended for medical use or rehabilitation, but rather for individuals who can walk and maintain balance independently. Expeditions for the Halo in Europe are expected to start by the end of November.
