I'm in the process of building up a 29 plus hardtail bike and like the idea of a rigid carbon fork for weight and symmetry (carbon frame) has anyone got any recommendation for the fork?
Travers prong possibly.
Kinesis do a nice one as well!

What width tyres ?
The exotic carbon forks with standard 100x15mm dropouts will easily take a 3" tyre.
I'm only looking to go 29 x 3.0 so what were you thinking of CP?
These are over 3.5" between fork legs. I'll measure mine more accurately tonight. The 490mm A-C will easily take a 29x3 tyre

I used the On One carbon Fatty for a while before moving to a Ti Truss and really liked it. It's a 135 QR front axle which stiffened everything up very well.
If you want to dip your toe in I'm selling it for much cheapness!!
Rosscopeco I wish I had the skills / knowledge / money to order a truss for my ramin plus without ballsing it up
I've a got a Travers Prong. It's great.
Comfy and taken a lot of a battering.
I have been looking into similar recently, a couple of guys on MTBR have been rating this one:

I am considering it for a build I am planning currently.
You can get the one from the Genesis Tarn/Tarntanium separately from a Genesis dealer. Run 29x3.0 Minion on mine. Plenty of room, and it’s a nice fork - full carbon, Boost spacing, 51mm offset. Can’t remember the length but can measure mine when I get home if you like?
Enve MTN. I have one on my Stooge. Very light, stiff and direct, but compliant enough to take out trail buzz.
+1 on the Enve MTN, got exactly the same on my Zaskar. Its a brilliant fork with an adjustable rake.
The Enve fork looks really good. I've just picked up a non-boost Travers Prong 29 for my solaris, will fit a 29+ tyre. I've fitted it but have only ridden it up and down the road so far
