Well now, that depends on what kind of mtn bike. The lightest singlespeed mtn bike that I've ever seen weighed 13 lbs.

I like a moderately heavy frame. I feel like it gives me momentum.

Cannondale

The brand new Cannondale is about 16.5 pounds. Which is the lightest fully geared mountain bike.

I wish I could find published weights on a complete bike from Delta 7.
