Cory officially announced today on his IG that he's Hyperlite now.
And I agree, definitely hard to connect the dots & get industry news these days in a timely manner.
It's also weird how rider contracts are done nowadays. Back in the day, typically, riders contracts ended after the final Pro Tour stop and either got renegotiated or the rider would announce their new partnership or be a free agent to explore new sponsorships. But lately, it seems riders switch at the weirdest times of the season. Cory was already seen riding Hyperlite months ago on his videos, but OBrien still has his pro model for this season. Same for Dowdy. He's no longer with CWB, but they have his pro model for this season.
It really makes for confusing info out there.
