If its for your students, I'd say something cheap, simple, with good kit. So I'd be looking Boardman Team (£1000) or Canyon Nerve XC.(£1100-2500)
+1 on the distortion looking like a fantastic bike
What? at 34lbs, no thanks. It ticks every other box tho.
Transition Bandit is my wet dream at the mo.

pfff, im not a weight weenie so id rather have a bike heavy and tough than light and noodly. that is presuming the distortion is tough though...
just remortgage the house and go for an ibis mojo slr... very short cockpit... a few small frames knocking about cheap at the mo (circa £1,100), would build into a great bike for about £2.5-3k
Where are you seeing sl-r's for 1,100 please?
Jedi, I thought you had a Transition Double, is it a Bottle Rocket?
Yea 2012 bottlerocket.
Distortion looks really good, but [i]short travel[/i]?
Commencal meta SL or scott spark contessa.
Both have 120mm of travel, both are air sprung and both have head angle that would put some enduro bikes to shame 😀

114mm not short enough?
140mm (or 150mm) at the front.
