I am designing my own titanium bike, and I want it to be compatible with at least 32 mm tires, ideally up to 34/35 mm tires.
I would like to use a 1" 1/8 - 1" 1/2 fork due to higher stiffness with respect to 1" 1/8 - 1" 1/4, but I cannot find anywhere a fork that matches my requirements.

Enve RD 2.0 would be perfect because it is officially compatible with 32 mm tires; moreover, it is installed by default on the BAUM Orbis that is listed as compatible with 34 mm tires (real width). Unfortunately, it seems like it is available only in 1" 1/8 - 1" 1/4 format.

Any idea about where I could find a fork that matches my requirements? Maybe the best solution is to buy a fork designed for some endurance bike, such as Trek Domane.

Have you ridden a 1.25" fork? Why do you think it will be noticeably less stiff? 1.5" forks are being phased out.

Have a look at the Columbus Futura forks.
