Our verdict

A fit for riders of 5'1" to 6'2" who want a 26-inch bike with the steel frame, front fork, rear shock and 21-speed gearing the page lists, at $325.99, and who accept a 37 lb weight. Look elsewhere if you need fork travel, shock details or the brake type spelled out. The main caveat is that every figure is the store's own, and the page gives three different tire widths.

Why 3.3/5: Lifted by a specification table that gives frame, wheel size, rider height, weight and gearing. Held back by the store's own pages disagreeing on its terms, almost no independent record of the store, and no outside test of this model.

Ecarpat Corex is a 26-inch mountain bike that Hycline sells under the Ecarpat name and lists at $325.99. The page calls it full suspension, with a front fork and a rear shock, and the table gives a high carbon steel frame, a Shimano 21-speed shifter and derailleur, a 37 lb weight and a rider height of 5'1" - 6'2".

Options and pricing

The page lists two variants at one price, $325.99: Black and Blue, in a single size shown as 26 x 2.125. It shows no crossed-out price. The table gives a frame size of 22 and calls the bike 85% assembled, but neither the table nor the features say which parts are left to fit. Its color family row (Red / Yellow) matches neither option.

How it compares

The TumbleWeed 26-Inch Mountain Bike has the same $325.99 price and lists 26 x 2.125 tires, an aluminum alloy frame, a twist shifter and 36.3, against 37 lb and a high carbon steel frame here. The Ecarpat Rycheer 26-Inch Mountain Bike is $310.99 with 26x2.10 tires and 36.60lb, and the Ecarpat Tendar X5 27.5-Inch Mountain Bike is $328.99 with an aluminum alloy frame and 35.28.

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.

What we liked

  • The features line is headed Full Suspension and names both a front fork and a rear shock.
  • Dual disc brakes are named in the features.
  • The table gives frame size, rider height, weight, three dimensions and a Shimano 21-speed shifter and derailleur.
  • The frame is described the same way in both places: steel in the features, high carbon steel in the table.
  • The page gives 85% pre-assembled in both the features and the table.

Worth noting

  • The page gives three tire widths: 2.35 in the intro, 2.325 in the features and 2.125 in the table and the size option.
  • The color family row (Red / Yellow) does not match the Black and Blue options.
  • No fork travel, shock details or brake type (mechanical or hydraulic) are given.
  • Two lower rider-height limits appear: 5'2" in the features and 5'1" in the table.
  • At 37 lb on the table it weighs more than the TumbleWeed 26 summary's 36.3, at the same $325.99 price.

Questions before you buy

What rider height does the Corex suit?

The table lists 5'1" - 6'2". The features line says the frame fits riders 5'2"-6'2", so the page gives two lower limits. The table also lists a frame size of 22.

Does it have rear suspension?

The page says it has a built-in rear suspension, and the features line reads front fork plus rear shock. It gives no travel figure, brand or adjustment details for either.

What gears and brakes does it have?

The table lists Shimano 21-speed as the shifter and derailleur, and the features name dual disc brakes. The page does not say whether the discs are mechanical or hydraulic.

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

  • Tire width is given three ways: 26x2.35 in the intro, 26 x 2.325 in the features and 26 X 2.125 in the table and the size option.
  • Rider height has two lower limits (5'2" in the features, 5'1" in the table), and the table's Red / Yellow color family differs from the Black and Blue options.
  • Fork travel, shock details, brake type and component brands other than Shimano are not given; 'lightweight' and 'corrosion-resistant' for the frame are claims with no figures.
  • 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.
