At CES 2026, technology enthusiasts witnessed the debut of the innovative **Ascentiz H1 Pro** exoskeleton, designed to enhance mobility and reduce physical strain. This model stands out for its lightweight construction and ease of use, making it a significant advancement over previous models showcased at last year’s event.
The **Ascentiz H1 Pro** weighs just **4.4 pounds** (without the battery) and features a design that allows for rapid attachment. Unlike its predecessor, the **Mo/Go** exoskeleton, which was noted for being heavy and cumbersome, the H1 Pro provides a more comfortable experience for users. During a demonstration at the event held in **Las Vegas**, attendees were able to jog freely, highlighting its improved functionality.
Key Features of the Ascentiz Exoskeletons
The **Ascentiz H1 Pro** exoskeleton is part of a broader range of products from Ascentiz, including the **K1 Pro**, which focuses on knee support. The “H” in the H1 model signifies its hip-mounted design, while the K1 model supports the knees. Both exoskeletons utilize artificial intelligence to analyze a user’s stride, offering natural movement assistance.
Despite the **H1 Pro** feeling less powerful compared to models from competitors such as **Hypershell**, its comfort and range of movement make it a strong contender. Ascentiz reports that users can wear the exoskeleton while biking or engaging in winter sports like skiing and snowboarding.
Ascentiz has introduced the **H+K** model, which combines features from both the H1 and K1 for enhanced performance. This modular design allows users to operate each model independently or in tandem. The **H1 Pro** can offset up to **66 pounds** of weight and enables users to reach speeds of up to **17.4 mph**, although actual speeds during demonstrations were lower. Its battery provides a range of up to **31 miles** under optimal conditions, with a performance time of **10 hours** at a speed of **12.5 mph**, making it suitable for extended use.
Pricing and Availability
Ascentiz is currently running a fully-backed Kickstarter campaign for both the **H1 Pro** and **K1 Pro**, with shipping expected in **February 2026**. The H1 Pro is priced at **$1,049**, but early backers can secure one for **$699**. The K1 Pro has a retail price of **$1,149**, available for **$799** on Kickstarter. The new **H+K** option is priced at **$1,498**, with a discounted price of **$1,298** for early supporters.
Additionally, Ascentiz is developing the **H1 Ultra** and **K1 Ultra**, which are higher-performance versions of their respective models. These are expected to be released later this year, featuring double the power and capabilities suited for challenging terrains.
The advancements displayed at CES 2026 underscore Ascentiz’s commitment to enhancing mobility technology, paving the way for future innovations in the field of exoskeletons.
