A 66-Year-Old Cyclist Tested an Exoskeleton on one of Ireland’s hardest climbs

Does it actually work? Hypershell makes some big claims about its exoskeleton - so I'm putting it through its paces on one of the steepest climbs in Ireland. I'm 66. I hold the Race Around Ireland record at 104 hours, and I've spent four decades learning what my body can and can't do on a bike and I've never been one for fads or gimmicks. So this is a fair test. Phase one of three: Mamore Gap, a brutal climb that puts any cyclist to the test. I ride it the way I always have, then I ride it again with the Hypershell. Same climb. Same legs. And I tell you honestly what I find. No staged demos. No marketing edit. Just the climb, the kit, and an honest look at whether this belongs on a serious cyclist's legs. 00:00 — Intro 01:26 — Climb without Hypershell 05:24 — Climb with Hypershell 08:33 — The verdict 09:48 — Challenge 2 - Glengesh This is the first of three climbs Mamore Gap, Glengesh Pass, and the Beara Peninsula.
