Movella launches Next-Generation Xsens Link for health and sports
The new Xsens Link motion capture suit delivers research-grade kinematics and athlete-ready performance data to accelerate sports science, rehabilitation, and applied biomechanics.
Enschede, 12 November 2025 – Xsens, a Movella brand and world leader in inertial motion capture technology, today unveiled the Next-Generation Xsens Link – a faster, smarter system for capturing and analysing human movement in sport, health, and research. Combining research-grade accuracy with real-world usability, it provides clean, reliable motion data through even the most demanding athletic and clinical sessions.
Built for breakthroughs in human performance
Re-engineered for applied performance environments, the new Xsens Link streamlines every stage of motion capture and analysis. Integrated and machine-washable cabling, hot-swappable batteries, and a new eSuit with an updated fit and breathable 4D textiles ensure uninterrupted sessions and natural movement. Smart sensor alignment and robust wireless connectivity maintain consistent, high-fidelity data in both lab and field settings.
“The new Xsens Link was designed to work and move without impeding athletes and researchers,” says Dennis Kloppenburg, Product Manager at Xsens. “It gives human movement analysts the unrivalled data quality to make confident decisions backed by data.”
Research-grade data
Designed for sports performance specialists and biomechanics researchers alike, Xsens Link bridges laboratory precision and on-field practicality. Its advanced sensors maintain data integrity through explosive or high-intensity movement, while the ergonomic design supports long, repeatable capture periods across multiple athletes or subjects.
For clubs,universities, and private performance centres, Link integrates seamlessly with existing tools, from EMG and force plates to optical systems, providing a unified motion-analysis workflow. For universities and health institutes, it enables consistent datasets for longitudinal and multi-subject research.
“Our goal was to remove friction from motion capture,” says Eric Salzman, CEO of Movella. “Whether analysing fatigue, tracking recovery, or assessing game-speed mechanics, Xsens Link delivers the precision and the reliability to perform anywhere.”
Performance-driven innovation
Built to maintain momentum and minimise downtime, Xsens Link combines sensor precision with operational efficiency. Its durable design withstands a wide range of movement and extreme conditions, while rapid setup and minimal maintenance maximise session time. The result is a single, adaptable system that helps teams and researchers train smarter, capture cleaner, and move faster.
The new Xsens Link is available globally from today through Xsens and its authorised partners and distributors.
