I believe I have a Specialized Crosstrail Sport (v-brakes) possible 2010 or 2009 and I would like to do the same thing what fork dimension would I need? Any help would be appreciated. I know this post is a year old.

Hey! I have specialized crosstrail 2016 comp disc. I want to replace suspension with rigid fork as well. Any suggestions? What parameters fork should match to fit my bike? Wheel size, disc brakes? Anything else?
Thank you!

I ended up getting a Surly Karate Monkey (couldn't tell you what version or specs, but if I remember right it was specifically made for a direct replacement), I maintained my V-Brakes, so can't speak on discs, but I want to say it supported either option. Way less flex obviously, but didn't feel like it dropped or raised the bike at all.

Also, the Surly is capable of holding 700x60C tires which work great with balloon style road tires for some suspension or can be switched to knobbys for a hard tail mountain configuration.
