Fake bicycles or standards just different?

I've been using rider backs until now and just got a standard pack. I've used it extensively and it would definitely be broken in by now but they feel totally different to (worse). They are much stiffer and I can't do a lot of stuff that's really easy with my rider back deck.

Everything under I've read said the rider back and standards are pretty much the same but the difference I feel is massive.

Could the standards I got be knockoffs?
