zone 1... hardtails. (wtf are hardtails?)

Mountain Bike Review
Hardtails (HT)

Zone 1 - ?500-?1,000 (approx $1,000-$2,000)

This Zone will get you an entry level Hardtail weighing in at around 26lbs.
The frame weight will be reasonable, fork suspension will be adequate for routine trail work, and entry-level hydraulic brakes should all be standard. Pick a good one from our Mountain Bike Reviews and you have the basis for a good upgrade project. ?800 and above will buy you a machine that is good enough to race.

To be honest anything less would be like
running a marathon race in flip-flops
