GN-001/hs-A01D Gundam Avalanche Exia` (aka Gundam Avalanche Exia Dash, Avalanche Exia Dash, Exia) is an upgraded version of the GN-001/hs-A01 Gundam Avalanche Exia, appearing in the side-story Mobile Suit Gundam 00V: Battlefield Record..

Although the GN particle propulsion system (native to Exia) allows for relatively high speed and acceleration, the unit is actually incapable of matching or exceeding certain aircrafts and spacecrafts in flight. To eliminate this issue, the high mobility equipment hs-A01 Avalanche was created. The optional equipment consists of a series of large-capacity GN particle condenser attachments, which act to store the particle production of the GN Drive for release in a single 10-minute burst of ultra-high speed. Higher outputs are possible, but the strain placed on the body of the pilot becomes too severe to ignore. As the condensers require a full hour to charge, repeated use of the burst function is impossible. The standard Seven Swords armaments can be mounted on various locations and be quickly deployed for use. Avalanche Exia Dash carries the same Seven Swords that the normal Exia carries, including the GN Sword. However, their placement is different due to the bulk of the armor. The signature GN Sword and GN Blades are placed on attachments on the back of the unit, while the GN Beam Daggers/Beam Sabers are placed on the shoulders.
Exia' possesses 2 different modes: a High-Mobility Mode, used to achieve high maneuverability in multiple directions, and a High-Speed Mode that allows achieve incredible speeds in only a single direction. The GN Claws mounted on leg attachments can also emit a GN Beam Saber and use them in a similar manner as the GNW-20000 Arche Gundam. The Avalanche Exia' is the precursor of the GNR-001 GN Arms, and its data was eventually used to develop it
