15 Nm, 14.4 km, CHF 1,129. More than entry-level, less than flagship money. Where this exoskeleton fits.
The Pi Robotics π Plus is the model we recommend when someone wants more than an entry-level unit but is not ready to step up to flagship pricing. It is a solid mid-range exoskeleton that punches above its price, with one clear weakness.

What it gets right
15 Nm and 14.4 km of range cover roughly 80 percent of weekend hikes. The assistance is honest and the build is reassuringly solid. At CHF 1,129 it lands real second-tier performance for the money, and the 2-hour charge is the quickest in our lineup. For a hiker who wants a capable exoskeleton without flagship spend, it fits.
Where it falls short
The app is the weakest of the lineup, so expect to use the device's onboard buttons most of the time. At 2.1 kg it is also the heaviest model we carry, and 14.4 km of range is the shortest, so it is not the one for big remote days. None of this is a deal-breaker; it is just where the savings show.
Who it is for
- Buyers who want a step up from entry level without flagship pricing.
- Weekend hikers on moderate, well-served trails.
- People who prefer physical buttons to a phone app.
A capable mid-tier exoskeleton that punches above its price. Buy it if you want solid assist on a budget and you are happy to skip the app.
