Exoskeleton brands in 2026: who makes what

Hypershell, Ski-Mojo, Stoko, Dnsys, VIGX, Hapo... each exoskeleton brand targets a specific use. An overview to find your way before comparing models.

Introduction: one brand, one use

There is no "best" brand in absolute terms: each one has positioned itself on a specific use, with its own trade-offs in weight, price and technology. This overview presents the brands in our catalogue, without ranking them, to help you know which one to look at for your needs.

Chapter 1: Hypershell, motorised walking and hiking

Hypershell offers a range of motorised hip exoskeletons, from €999 for the Go X to €1,999 for the Ultra X, with claimed effort reductions of up to 39% depending on the model. It is the broadest brand in our catalogue in this segment, with four levels in its range.

Chapter 2: Ski-Mojo, the benchmark for assisted skiing

The Ski-Mojo is a mechanical spring exoskeleton, priced at €699, with no battery or motor. It takes part of the load off the thighs while skiing, with a spring setting chosen according to the skier's weight.

Chapter 3: Stoko and Imbrace, textile support

Stoko makes cable support garments: the K1 tights ($388) for the knee, and shorts ($338) for the hips and lower back. Imbrace offers a ski support legging at €192. These products have no motor or spring: they guide the joint through a network of cables or a technical fabric.

Chapter 4: Dnsys and VIGX, international motorised hip models

Dnsys offers a range of hip exoskeletons (X1 Lite, Carbon, Carbon Pro, from $689 to $1,289), with add-on knee modules (Z1). VIGX offers three motorised hip models (π, π Plus, Ant-H1 Pro, from $1,199 to $2,399). Both brands sell in dollars and ship from Asia, which means delivery times and import taxes, detailed in our question on taxes outside the EU.

Chapter 5: Hapo, the work exoskeleton made in France

The Hapo brand (Ergosanté) offers a range of passive leaf-spring exoskeletons for work: support for the back, shoulders or neck, from €640.80 to €4,200 depending on the model. All are made in France, with no battery, and come with a two-year warranty.
