Becoming a Mountain Biker

8. The weight
The bike weight is quite important, although some say
it's not. Of course you should not exaggerate with it,
since it can cost you.
If you want light bike, then a bike without any
suspension should weigh up to 11 kg and a hardtail up to
12 kg. If you want a fully, then you can be very happy
it the weight gets close to 12 kg.
It is a fact that a 13 kg bike is quite heavy for
mountain biking, since it is difficult to be carried and
pushed up the hill too steep or rough to
cycle.
