I concur Superfly. Sure some of the racing guys bikes they've spent bucketloads on even get stuff at cost are probably stupidly light but there are some weights being quoted here which just can't be right. My bike is built up reasonably but not ultra light for what it is (chameleon). I'd be surprised if it were much under 12kgs/26lbs. Now looking at a few of the bikes i've seen mentioned above it's a much higher/lighter spec. Yet guys are quoting weights which are in excess of 1/2kg/1lb lighter for full sus frames that aren't notably light with specs i don't think are any lighter.
S-Works Enduro in light(ish) build:

'03 Epic in very updated spec:

If I recall correctly the Epic was in the low 24lb range on my scales and the Enduro somewhere between 25 and 26lbs. The Epic isn't the lightest of frames but has some pretty light bits on - SID team forks, carbon bars and post, very light Ti framed saddle, American Classic wheels with Speed King Supersonics, XTR drivetrain and brakes.
Nice and light 🙂

21,5lbs (though with some slight changes to the pictured setup).
Err Can i ask what constitutes light cos some of them i wouldn't consider light unless you mean lighter than the standard model!
I guess it depends on the type of full suss bike, personally I'd judge light (for type) is:
up to 21lbs for an xc race machine
up to 25lbs for a up to 140mm travel
and up to 27lb for for 140mm plus
