CrossCore RC modifications

[FreDJ]

I recently obtained a CrossCore RC under the Fans promotion. It is an enjoyable bike, complimenting my older Yamaha Torc hardtail eBike for off-road use.
My first thought is to convert to a solid front fork to reduce weight. Handling may slightly improve. It seems that the Wabash RT fork should be a perfect fit, easy to do.

Any thoughts on the Wabash fork or available alternatives for the CrossCore?

I bought a slightly used RC and changed the fork to a Suntour MobiE25. It is about 2 pounds lighter than the stock fork, has an air spring and adjustable rebound damping. Geometry is unchanged from stock and Suntour has it on clearance. My total cost was just over $300. I also chances the tires to Maxxis Receptor saving over three pounds and improving the ride.
