Our verdict
Suits riders who want a 16-speed aluminum alloy road bike at $339.99 and are willing to check the size with the store first, since the text and table give different rider heights. Look elsewhere if you need to know the brake type before buying, as the page calls its brakes both disc and caliper. The main caveat is that the page contradicts itself on brakes, size and colors.
- Best for
- Riders who want a 16-speed aluminum alloy road bike and will confirm sizing and brakes with the store first.
- Skip if
- You need a clear brake type or a single rider height range that the page agrees on.
Why 3.3/5: The specification table (frame, wheel size, rider height, weight, gearing) is the main lift. Thin outside information about the store, store pages that disagree on their own terms and the lack of any independent test of this model hold it back.
Dorace SLR is how the store titles this 700x28C road bike, although the page text calls it the Ecarpat Dorace SLR. It is listed at $339.99 with a 16-speed L-TWOO drivetrain, an aluminum alloy frame and a table weight of 28.89 lb. The table gives a rider height of 5'3"-6'2" and a 24 in. frame size, while the text offers a different size guide.

Options and pricing
Black, White and Pink are the three variants, each at $339.99 in the single size option, 700x28C, and all three were in stock when read. The page shows a crossed-out price of $369.99. It says the bike is 85% pre-assembled and that installation tools and pedals are included, and its size guide tells buyers to check the size before ordering.
How it compares
The Ecarpat ZFA 700C Road Bike lists the same 700x28C tires, aluminum alloy frame and 28.89 lb but is priced at $427.99, against $339.99 here. The Ecarpat Druk 700C Road Bike also lists 28.89 lb at $319.99, and the Ecarpat Celvor 700C Road Bike lists 33.10 lb at $337.99, both with 700x28C tires.
Shipping, returns and warranty
Shipping: the shipping policy covers the continental US only and says the store does not ship outside the United States (the About page mentions DHL and USPS for orders outside the US), yet its table lists a Hawaii and Alaska rate of $25.99 under a heading that excludes both. General-size items ship free over $99.99 (Standard, 4 to 6 days) or for $5.99 below that, with Expedited at $7.99 and 3rd Day at $12.99; bikes and suspension forks count as oversized and ship Standard in 7 to 15 days for $29.99, so a bike's free-shipping banner does not remove that charge. Orders leave within 1 business day with a tracking number, delivery needs a signature, and damage must be noted on the delivery receipt and reported within 24 hours with photos and video; product pages say the order comes from the nearest of 7 US warehouses, and the About page gives a Stockton, California address. Returns: the refund policy gives 30 days for new, unused items in original packaging, with photos sent first to get a return label; for a change of mind the buyer pays return shipping (the About page calls 30-day returns free), while a defective item can be returned within 30 days without restocking or return fees, and after that the policy offers help with manufacturer warranty support. The refund is processed within 48 hours of approval in the policy and within 24 working hours of the warehouse receiving the item in the FAQ. Warranty: the Terms of Service hold only an as-is disclaimer and are governed by the laws of China; the one-year figure comes from the product pages (a 'Manufacturer Warranty' row on most bike pages and a '1-year warranty' line under the buy box), and no page says what it covers or how to claim.
Before you buy
The page shows no customer reviews of this bike; the store's own review page lists 3,669 reviews, and 23 of the 25 it displays are about tires or tubes. Reputation: on Trustpilot (read on the Australian site) hyclinebike.com is an unclaimed profile with one review, five stars from April 2023 about 700c tires, and nothing newer. The store's review page shows 4.66 stars from 3,669 reviews through a Judge.me widget that we could not verify. The registry shows hyclinebike.com registered on 2 November 2022, while the About page says the site opened in 2019 and the company grew from a repair shop and a tire factory; it gives a Stockton, California address, and the Terms are governed by the laws of China. Web searches on 22 October 2026 found no independent review of the store's complete bikes. The review shows the code FACESTORE. A cart test on 22 October 2026, made without the affiliate link, took 5% off bikes, a trike and parts; if the discount line is missing from your cart, enter FACESTORE at checkout. The page shows a crossed-out regular price; that is the store's own comparison figure.
What we liked
- An aluminum alloy frame, described by the page as lightweight and stiff, at a table weight of 28.89 lb
- A 16-speed drivetrain that the page attributes to L-TWOO, matching the 16-speed entry in the table
- Three colors offered at one price
- The table gives overall dimensions: 74.00 long, 28.00 wide and 42.00 high (in.)
Worth noting
- The brake section is headed disc brakes but describes caliper brakes, so the brake type is unclear
- Size information conflicts: the text says 52 cm for 5'5" to 6'10", the table a 24 in. frame and 5'3"-6'2"
- The table's color family omits Pink, which the variants include
- No brake or tire brand is named, and the L-TWOO drivetrain is given without a model
Questions before you buy
What brakes does the Dorace SLR use?
The page does not settle it: the section is headed Disc Brakes System but describes double caliper brakes as lighter and more aerodynamic than disc brakes. It names no brake brand.
What drivetrain does the Dorace SLR list?
The table lists a 16-speed derailleur, and the text describes a 16-speed L-TWOO drivetrain with L-TWOO shifters. It names no derailleur model.
Which rider height does the Dorace SLR's table list?
The table lists a rider height of 5'3"-6'2" and a frame size of 24 in. The text instead gives a 52 cm size for people between 5'5" and 6'10" and tells buyers to check the size first.
Where does Hycline ship, and what does a bike cost to ship?
The policy covers the continental US only (Hawaii and Alaska are listed at $25.99 in one table but excluded in its heading). Bikes and suspension forks are oversized: Standard shipping takes 7 to 15 days after handling and costs $29.99, even though the page banner offers free shipping over $99. Orders ship within 1 business day with tracking and a signature at delivery.
What is the return window?
30 days for new, unused items in original packaging, after sending photos and receiving a return label. You pay return shipping for a change of mind (the About page calls returns free); a defective item has no restocking or return fee. This page's spec table says 'Returnable 90-Day', which the policy does not repeat.
Does the bike have a warranty?
Most bike pages list a 1-year manufacturer warranty, and the buy-box blurb says '1-year warranty', but the Terms of Service and the policies name no warranty period, coverage or claim process. Ask [email protected] for the terms in writing before ordering.

What we couldn’t verify
- The brake section is headed Disc Brakes System but describes double caliper brakes that it says are lighter and more aerodynamic than disc brakes, so the page does not settle which brakes are fitted.
- The text gives a size of 52 cm for people between 5'5" and 6'10", while the table lists a 24 in. frame size and a rider height of 5'3"-6'2"; the page does not reconcile them.
- The variants include Pink, but the table's color family reads Black / White; the L-TWOO drivetrain has no model, and the same 28.89 lb weight appears on the Druk and Ecarpat ZFA pages.
- The return policy gives 30 days, while this page's table says 'Returnable 90-Day' and the About page calls 30-day returns free; the policy makes buyers pay return shipping for a change of mind.
- The store's terms and policies name no warranty period or coverage; the 1-year figure appears only on product pages.
- The shipping policy treats bikes as oversized at a flat $29.99 (Standard, 7 to 15 days) while the buy-box blurb says free shipping over $99; the policy also lists a Hawaii and Alaska rate while excluding both.
- No independent test or customer review of this model was found in web searches made on 22 October 2026, and the page's own copy is the only source for its figures.
