[Closed] Fork offsets 51 v 39

Can anyone advise on fork offsets please?

My hardtail bike (Sonder Broken Road) currently has a 100mm Reba 29 fork, that I think has 51mm offset.  I’m toying with the idea of a rigid carbon 29er fork, the one I’m looking at has a 39mm offset.  Am I correct in thinking reducing offset slows the steering response(?).

The carbon fork was designed for this frame, so I was surprised to see such a difference in offset - unless it’s something to do with suspension sag vs rigid(?).

What do the hives geometry experts think?

What length is the rigid fork you're looking at?
