Depends on the material and style of frame.
Steel 1800/2000 would be about right.

If it an 8" dh frame that's pretty good.
If it's a carbon xc frame that's pretty bad.

Not light but not super heavy either even for an average XC hardtail. Super light hardtails are around 1kg while super light full sus frames are around 1.8kg. Not many people on here ride anything like that though

That'd be v.light steel..., by comparison my 456Ti 20" frame weighed 1750g, and my steel 456 was nearer 2600g.

So I'd guess an unbranded frame at 2kg is probably an aluminium HT.

My sliding dropout on one weighed 2.2kg.

My dead light steal frame with sliding dropouts weighs 1.8kg IIRC.
