Our verdict

A fit for a rider within the table's 42-56 rider height row, which the text pitches at teens, who wants the 21-speed gearing, disc brakes and fork the page lists at $267.99. Look elsewhere if the wheel size matters, because the page gives 24-inch, 20 X 2.125 and 1.75-inch tire figures. The main caveat is that the title, text and table disagree, so confirm the real size with the store before buying.

Why 3.2/5: Lifted by a table with frame, wheel size, rider height, weight and gearing. Held back first by the page contradicting itself on the tire figure, then by the store's pages disagreeing with each other, its thin independent reputation and the lack of any independent test.

The Ecarpat XR1 24-Inch is a mountain bike that Hycline sells under the Ecarpat name for $267.99. The table lists a carbon steel frame, a twist shifter with 21 speeds, a weight of 39.69 lb and a rider height of 42-56 inches, and the text pitches it at teens. Its tire size is unsettled: the title says 24-inch, while the table lists 20 X 2.125.

Options and pricing

Three colors are listed, Black-Orange, Black-Green and Gray, all at $267.99 and all in stock when read. The size option is written 24 x 2.125, while the table's tire/wheel size reads 20 X 2.125 and its Color Family row says Grey / Black. No crossed-out price appears. The table lists 85% assembly completion.

How it compares

Against the Ecarpat XR1 26-Inch Mountain Bike, which starts at the same $267.99 and lists 26 X 2.125 tires with a weight of 43.00, this bike lists 39.69. The Ecarpat Tamer KR Mountain Bike, 24 to 27.5-Inch starts at $305.99 and lists 24x2.125 for its smallest size, which matches its title, also at 39.69. The Rock-Rod 26-Inch Youth Mountain Bike is $289.99 with an aluminum alloy frame on its spec line.

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.

What we liked

  • The table lists a carbon steel frame in a 20 X 14 size, a weight of 39.69 lb and an 85% assembly figure.
  • A rider height range is given in the table (42-56, labeled inches), which is more specific than the text's teen wording.
  • Disc brakes front and rear and a shock-absorbing fork are described in the text.
  • All three colors sit at one price, $267.99, and were in stock when the page was read.

Worth noting

  • The title and size option say 24-inch, the text says 24-inch wheels with 1.75-inch tires, and the table lists 20 X 2.125, so the wheel size is not settled.
  • The feature text calls the bike the Elecony, not the Ecarpat XR1.
  • No fork travel or brake brand is given.
  • The text claims a Shimano drivetrain, but the table lists only a twist shifter and 21-speed.

Questions before you buy

Is it a 24-inch or a 20-inch bike?

The page does not settle it. The title and size option say 24-inch, the text says 24-inch wheels with 1.75-inch tires, and the table lists a tire/wheel size of 20 X 2.125 and a frame size of 20 X 14. Confirm the wheel size with the store before ordering.

What rider height does it list?

The table lists 42-56 under a row labeled in inches. The text calls it a teen's bike but gives no age.

What gearing and brakes does it have?

The table lists a twist shifter with 21 speeds, and the text says Shimano. The text lists front and rear disc brakes and a shock-absorbing fork, with no fork travel and no brake brand.

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. Many bike pages show 'Returnable 90-Day' in their spec tables, 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 title and size option say 24 inch, but the table lists a tire/wheel size of 20 X 2.125 and a 20 X 14 frame; the text adds 24-inch wheels with 1.75-inch tires, so three tire figures appear.
  • The feature text names the bike the Elecony, which is not the model in the title, and it claims a Shimano drivetrain while the table lists only a twist shifter and 21-speed.
  • The page gives no fork travel, no brake brand and no source for its lightweight claim; the rider height row is labeled in inches.
  • The About page calls 30-day returns free, while the return 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.
