Our verdict

A fit for riders of 5'5" to 6'1" who want a 700C commuter with disc brakes and a 24-speed derailleur at $319.99, and who are happy to install the front wheel, handlebars, saddle and pedals themselves. Look elsewhere if you need a named component group, an explanation of the gearing, or tread and terrain detail behind the page's sand-and-dirt claim. The main caveat is that every figure comes from the store's own page.

Best for
Riders of 5'5" to 6'1" who want a 700C commuter with disc brakes and a 24-speed derailleur.
Skip if
You need a named brake or shifter brand, or gearing figures that the page explains.

Why 3.3/5: A specification table that covers frame, wheel size, rider height, weight and gearing lifts the rating. Store pages that disagree on their own terms, almost no outside information about the store and no independent test of the Druk hold it back.

The Ecarpat Druk is a 700C road bike, and Hycline sells it under the Ecarpat name at $319.99. Its table gives 700x28C tires, an aluminum alloy frame, a 24-speed derailleur and a weight of 28.89 lb, with a rider height of 5'5"-6'1". The page describes it as built for paved roads and commuting, with a dual mechanical disc brake system and a straight handlebar.

Options and pricing

The page shows two variants at $319.99, in Black and Cream, and the only size option reads 700x28C; both variants were in stock when the page was read. It also shows a crossed-out price of $349.99. The listing describes the bike as 85% assembled: the buyer installs the front wheel, handlebars, saddle and pedals, and the page says it provides instructions and installation videos.

How it compares

The Ecarpat Velostride 700C Hybrid Bike costs $327.99 and lists 700x35C tires, a High Carbon Steel frame, Shimano 21-speed gears and 34 lb, against this bike's 700x28C tires, aluminum alloy frame and 28.89 lb. The Pastoral 700C Hybrid Bike has the same $319.99 price with 700x35C tires and a listed 28.66 lb. The Ecarpat Celvor 700C Road Bike also has 700x28C tires but lists 33.10 lb at $337.99.

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

  • Table lists an aluminum alloy frame and a weight of 28.89 lb
  • The page says both the frame and the fork are aluminum alloy
  • Dual mechanical disc brakes, as the page describes them
  • A 24-speed derailleur on the table, worked by a thumb shifter per the text
  • Table gives a rider height of 5'5"-6'1" and a 20 in. frame size, plus the bike's overall dimensions

Worth noting

  • The text names a 2x8 thumb shifter beside a 24-speed system and never explains how the two figures relate
  • The page describes paved-road use yet also says the bike handles sand and dirt with ease, with no tire tread or terrain detail
  • No brand is named for the shifter, derailleur, brakes or tires, and no suspension is listed

Questions before you buy

What rider height does the Ecarpat Druk list?

The table lists a rider height of 5'5"-6'1" and a frame size of 20 in. The page gives no stand-over or inseam figure.

Is the Druk a 24-speed or a 2x8?

The table lists a 24-speed derailleur, and the feature text describes a 2x8 thumb shifter with a 24-speed transmission system. The page names no component brand and does not explain how the 2x8 and 24-speed figures relate.

How much of the Druk is assembled?

The table lists an assembly completion of 85%. The page says the front wheel, handlebars, saddle and pedals still need installing, and that it provides instructions and installation videos.

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.

Independent

What we couldn’t verify

  • The text pairs a 2x8 thumb shifter with a 24-speed system and the page never explains how those figures relate; it names no shifter or derailleur brand.
  • The page describes the bike for paved roads and lists 700x28C tires, yet says it handles sand and dirt with ease; it gives no tire tread or terrain detail behind that claim.
  • The page gives no source for its 28.89 lb weight, and the same figure is listed on the Dorace SLR 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.
