Genesis Croix de Fer carbon fork.

I've been toying with the idea of swapping all of my bits from my CDF30 2016 onto a Reilly Ti Frame and Carbon fork, however i'm not sure whether I can justify the spend so the alternative is to ditch the heavy steel fork on the CDF for a carbon one. Its a straight 1/8 steerer and needs disc mounts. Ideally i'd like the clearance for 40mm tyres, although currently using less.
The Genesis fork would be the ideal solution but its sold out everywhere and i'm not sure when they'll be back in (rumoured to be April). Is anything as good as that to fit? Its to knock the weight down and provide a bit more compliance, although I have achieved a fair bit of comfort with a carbon seatpost.

You need a cyclocross disc fork with a straight 1 and 1/8 inch steerer. I did look into that when I had a CdF back in 2012 and there isn't much on the market at all. Kinesis used to make one, but not very light... not much else as pretty much all of them have a tapered steerer.
Road bike forks as the above mentioned won't work, too shortleft the forum March 20230 -
Not many options for a straight steerer, this one would work, but maybe a little expensive for a CdF.

Lynskey do a straight steerer carbon fork for disks.

The standard steel genesis fork has a 50mm offset, the Lynksey has 45mm, the Whisky has 47mm. No idea how important this is.0

I'm sure someone on here had a planet-x fork of some kind in their CDF. I thought it was UGO but perhaps not judging by the above.0

Yes, but on the Fugio, not the CdF... it's still there but it is a tapered fork.
The Linskey above is road, not CX, too short... the Wisky is lushleft the forum March 20230
