@ascentale @ai6yr You’re looking for a “suspension corrected” rigid fork. If you replace a suspension fork with a “normal” rigid fork, it’ll lower the front end of the bike, leading to a higher head tube angle and wonky handling (trail/caster is reduced, bike will feel “twitchier”).

The important number is the “axle-to-crown” measurement of the fork you’re replacing. Finding an approximate match shouldn’t be too hard! A decent shop should be able to help out. It’s not an uncommon swap!
