Hahahahaha.
28-30lbs now we are talking. I would say many many mid-range to high-end bikes fall in that category. What kind of riding are you looking at? XC riding? If I had the cash to spend I would love to go with a Santa Cruz. The blur's can get as low as 27lbs in the $3,000 range. A full XTR blur can go to 24lbs but then you are talking $6,000.

You might be surprised to see what you can get "custom". Call up Larry @ MtnHighCycler (https://www.mtnhighcyclery.com/) and tell him your budget and what you're looking for. You might find yourself with a "boutique" bike. 28-30lbs is not crazy light for a 4"/100mm travel bike so you're not getting into crazy light components.

SOOOOO many choices...
Where to begin?
-Weight
-Height
-Riding style
-Where you ride
-How much suspension you looking for?
-What are you willing to sacrifice?
-What are you not willing to sacrifice?
-What do you local shops carry?
-Do you need to try a bike before purchasing it?

Don't worry...those two bikes will be WAY out of your price range. But why would you not buy a bike because of the shock location?
