After the discovery of Hammerspace and the subsequent release of the Zone, many companies funnelled nearly everything they had into the development of various Rider Gears. Many failed but a few succeeded, skyrocketing into untold wealth and fame. This is a list of the major Rider Gear developers, commonly referred to as Rider Corps.
Masked Enterprises- Creator of the popular V1, V2, V3 and Riderman models. R&D headed by one of the original discoverers of Hammerspace, Dr. Ishinomori.
Aqualung Inc- Creator of the X Gear. Known for their advances in undersea technology.
GiGacorp- Famous for their incredibly expensive and highly invasive biological Rider Gears, dubbed "Armlets". Said to have ties to ancient Inca cults.

Clan Sukai- A newcomer to the Gear scene. Its Tornado Series uses bends in gravity to allow flight.
