Rigid fork for suspension hardtail

Hi,
I'm looking at getting a giant xtc composite frame and fitting a 29er/700c fork as I don't really need a suspension fork.
can I get a lightweight carbon fork that will have the right geometry? I don't really need some burly thing designed for doing jumps, just a standard carbon fork with a disc brake fitting for soaking up gravel road chatter and the odd pothole - although a 25mm axle would be good to use the 29er wheels that come with the bike.

The On-one monococque carbon fork is what I have - it's available with a straight or tapered steerer, and it does everything I want it to. Other options include the Kinesis Maxlight forks - here's a link - which is a bit lighter. Other options are available. Do measure the axle-to-crown distance on your current fork before you chooseSpecialized Roubaix Elite 2015
