One of the lads needs new forks. 29er tapered.
The frame is a 15 Anthem with Overdrive. But I don't know if that affects for options, choices etc?
I had one of those. If memory serves, bottom cup is standard 1.5 inch, top of steerer is 1.25 rather than standard 1.125. If you want to use a non-overdrive fork you'll need a new adapter headset top cup and stem.

Road models feature 1 1/8-inch top and 1 1/4-inch bottom bearings, while the mountain version features 1 1/8-inch top and 1 1/2-inch bottom bearings.
That's just normal tapered forks then?
I'm pretty sure overdrive is standard tapered, overdrive 2 was 1.5 > 1.25
