Depends on if your a big burly man or a little pencil neck geek.. LOL
I"m 195 and wouldn't want to ride anything lighter than say 24 lbs. My KHS is 28 and it feels heavy to pick up but I have no worries about any part on it exploding under me.

Im surprised, Id think even light bikes would be durable. Given the advancements in technology and new materials, I actually surprised mtn bikes are lighter for the gen pop. I am also surprised by all of you who say light = breakage. Geuss materials are there yet.

Nothing is bullet proof. But my comment wasn't about breaking strength. I just find it takes more effort to control a 21lb hardtail as compared to a 25 pound hardtail. JMO
