Choosing Between Ascentiz H and K Modules: Complete Guide

If you love getting outdoors—walking, hiking, or running—but sometimes wish you had a little extra support, you're not alone. That’s where the Ascentiz modular exoskeleton system comes in. It's designed to help real people like you move with more freedom and confidence.

There are two precision-designed modules to choose from—the Hip (H) and the Knee (K)—and picking the right one can feel a bit overwhelming at first. This guide will walk you through what makes each module special, so you can find the perfect fit for your adventures and everyday life.

Hip vs. Knee Module: Understanding the Differences

Both the hip and knee modules connect to the same Exo-Belt Power System, but they each bring something unique to the table. Think of them as teammates—each one is specially designed to help you with different kinds of movement. Whether you're looking for a boost in speed or extra support for your joints, there's an exoskeleton module built to match your needs.

Hip Module – Speed, Power & Training

If you love moving fast—whether sprinting, cycling to work, or powering through an intense workout—the Hip (H) Module is designed just for you. It’s all about giving your legs that extra boost, so you feel lighter, stronger, and ready to take on whatever challenge comes your way.

• Powerful Assistance: With a peak torque of 36 Nm, the Ascentiz Hip Exoskeleton can reduce the effort your legs need by up to 35%, empowering leg offset of maximal 66 lbs with each stride.
• Max Speed: The 900W motor system with 1.2 horsepower helps you accelerate smoothly up to 17.4 mph (28 km/h)—even on slopes—so you can sprint faster and push yourself further.
• Endurance & Range: Go the distance with a 12.4 miles (20 km) range on a single charge, or double it to 40 km in dual-battery mode—ideal for longer rides or ambitious days out.
• AI MotionEngine: The intelligent system recognizes more than 10 movement types, including walking, running, climbing stairs, and cycling, and adapts in under 200 milliseconds to keep up with your pace.
• Training Assistance & Metabolic Boost: Switch on "Train" mode for an extra challenge. It adds up to 44 lbs (20 kg) of dynamic resistance, raising your heart rate by 15–30% and increasing muscle activation and metabolism for a more effective workout.

In short, the Ascentiz Hip Exoskeleton is your go-to for running, commuting, cycling, high-intensity training, and any activity where speed and power matter most.

Knee Module – Stability, Support & Endurance

If you're planning a long hike, carrying a heavy pack, or just want extra support for your knees, the Knee (K) Module is here to help you go further, safer, and with less fatigue. It’s designed to protect your joints, provide steady support, and help you enjoy every step—even on challenging terrain.

• Peak Assistance: With a powerful 48Nm peak torque, the Ascentiz Knee Exoskeleton offers up to 88 lbs of upward support, and can reduce the load on your knee joints by as much as 108 lbs per leg.
• Balance & Stability: Thanks to AI motion detection and enhanced knee support, this module helps you stay balanced and steady. It reduces energy loss from shifts in your center of mass by 30%, boosts knee stability by 35%, and lowers the risk of falls by 40%.
• Fatigue Reduction: The AI-powered system actively redistributes load and cushions your steps, reducing joint pressure by 50% and easing joint wear by 20–40%. That means less fatigue and smoother movement, even over long distances.
• Endurance: Tackle tough climbs with a max assisted speed of 4.5 mph (7.2 km/h) and enjoy up to 15.5 miles (25 km) of battery range—perfect for demanding adventures.

The Ascentiz Knee Exoskeleton is your ideal companion for long hikes, backpacking, trail walks, and any activity where joint support and lasting endurance matter most.
