You need a tapered fork. Not an OD2 specific Giant. Stick with 100mm.

What do you think about a Rock shox XC 32 Silentfoe

It's a decent fork. Not really great but for the money it's ok.

If you have the receipt for the bike you can upgrade to a Raidon air fork from Nick at Suntour for 200 shipped.

Raidons are available with a aluminum tapered steerer tube. Call Nick at Suntour to sort out your choices.

That. Having ridden a couple of these upgrades at this point, I can honestly say you won't touch the performance of one of these forks for the money. Your next closest good thing would be an XFusion Glide.
