There's a possibility that the mass-produced drivers are more of a Riotrooper/Kurokage Trooper situation where they use Rider technology but aren't "technically" Riders. And given how specific they're being with the "Rider" title in this show, it's also a possibility that the villain uses a Driver to transform, but doesn't get the Rider title, much like Gold Drive.

If those were the case, our only "real" Riders could end up being Gotchard, Rinne's rider form, Legend and likely Valvarad

Modern Rider does love it's core four main Rider group.

I just find it kind of skeptical they'd have a nine-tailed fox Rider so soon after Geats.
