Here are our Top 5 lightweight XC hardtail mountain bikes in 2021. The demands of cross country racing are huge on both bike and rider. Therefore many bike brands search for the lightest carbon frame tech and finishing kit around to save precious time when the trail gets steep.

In the search for ultimate lightweight, geometry is still key. Our top 5 includes some progressive geometry numbers and some not quite so much, but one thing is for sure, they're all pushing the boundaries of what's possible in super light mountain bike tech.
