Our verdict
Suits riders of 5'4" to 6'2" per the table who want a beach-style mountain bike with the steel frame, mechanical disc brakes, 21-speed gearing and 100mm front fork the page lists, at $335.99. Look elsewhere if you need one clear wheel size, rider height or load figure: the page gives two of each. The main caveat is that the title and the page's Specs list say 27.5 while the table says 24 x 2.125.
- Best for
- Riders of 5'4" to 6'2" per the table who want the steel frame, disc brakes and front fork the page lists.
- Skip if
- You need one consistent wheel size, rider height and load figure, since this page gives two of each.
Why 3.2/5: Lifted by a table that lists frame, wheel size, rider height, weight and gearing; held back by the page contradicting itself on wheel size, the store's own pages disagreeing on its terms, a thin independent record for the store and no outside test of this model.
Sold under the TumbleWeed name, this mountain bike carries a 27.5-inch title and costs $335.99 at Hycline, and the page calls it a beach mountain bike. The table lists a carbon steel frame, a twist shifter with 21-speed gearing and a 39.69 weight, while the features name mechanical dual disc brakes and a 100mm front suspension fork. The title and the page's separate Specs list say 27.5, but the table gives a 24 x 2.125 tire size.

Options and pricing
Four variants, Black, Green, Red and Grey, share one price of $335.99, in one size option shown as 27.5 x 2.125, and the page describes brown sidewall tires. The page shows a crossed-out price of $359.99. The table gives a frame size of 27.5x17.5 and an 85% assembly figure; the assembly notes name the front wheel, handlebars and pedals as left to fit (the features add the saddle) and say the tools are included.
How it compares
Within the TumbleWeed line, the TumbleWeed 26-Inch Mountain Bike is $325.99 and its table lists an aluminum alloy frame and a 36.3 weight, against this bike's carbon steel frame and 39.69, and the TumbleWeed 24-Inch Mountain Bike is listed from $245.99 at 29.9. The Zukka Blaze MTB 29-Inch Mountain Bike costs $338.99 with 29 x 1.95 tires, an aluminum alloy frame and 39.07.
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
- Mechanical dual disc brakes and a 100mm front suspension fork are named in the features.
- The table gives frame size, rider height, weight, a maximum load figure and three dimensions.
- The page offers four color options at one price.
- The assembly notes are specific: L and R pedal marks, a 180 degree fork turn before the front wheel goes on, and the tools included.
Worth noting
- Wheel size conflict: the title, text and the page's separate Specs list say 27.5 x 2.125, but the table lists 24 x 2.125.
- Rider height appears as 4'2"-4'9" in the features and 5'4"-6'2" in the table.
- At 39.69 on the table it weighs more than every sibling summary shown, which list 29.9 to 39.07.
- Two load figures appear: up to 250 lbs in the features and 255 in the table.
Questions before you buy
Is the TumbleWeed 27.5 really a 27.5-inch bike?
The title, page text, tire lines and the page's separate Specs list say 27.5 x 2.125, and the size option reads 27.5, but the table lists a tire/wheel size of 24 x 2.125. The page does not say which figure applies.
What rider height and load does the page list?
The table lists a rider height of 5'4"-6'2" (64-74 inches) and a max load of 255 lb. The features line instead gives heights of 4'2"-4'9" and a max weight up to 250 lbs. The page does not explain the differences.
How much comes assembled and what is left to do?
The table and features give 85%. The assembly notes say to fit the front wheel, handlebars and pedals, turn the fork 180 degrees before the front wheel goes on, check the L and R pedal marks and not wrap the cables around the frame. The page says all tools are included.
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, page text, tire lines and the page's separate Specs list say 27.5 x 2.125, but the table lists a tire/wheel size of 24 x 2.125; the page does not say which figure is right.
- Rider height is 4'2"-4'9" and up to 250 lbs in the features but 5'4"-6'2" (64-74 inches) and a max load of 255 in the table, with no explanation; the table's color family (Green / Black) and the Specs list colors (Green; Green / Black) also omit the Red and Grey options.
- The features and the Specs list name a thumb shifter while the table lists a twist shifter; only the Specs list names a brand (Shimano 21-Speed), none is named for the fork or brakes, and 'strong puncture resistance' and 'reliable stopping power' carry no figures.
- 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.
