Best is rather subjective. The best for me could be the worst for you. Do you also know what axle to crown length you need?

I didn't know this brand.
They only produce 45mm rake. I'll ask if they can produce 40mm

Thanks

Not that many options available these days, I believe Enve do one with a 40mm rake, although when I needed some new forks I ended up with Columbus Minimal, but they only comes in 45mm rake, nice fork though.

Very nice fork.
Look like an Enve without UD finish

Ok, you do NOT look for a tapered fork, 1 1/8 to 1 1/4. What you look for is the typical old school straight 1 1/8?
Bikes:

Ax Lightness Vial EVO Race (2019.01.03)
Open *UP* (2016.04.14)
Paduano Racing Fidia (kind of shelved)


Ex bike; Vial EVO D, Vial EVO Ultra, Scott Foil, Paduano ti bike.
