Most amount of travel you could get away with is 120mm travel fork (but that will still invaild you warrently), trying to find a fork that is either 100-120 travel, 650b, straight steerer and qr is they limiting. Worth looking at manitors or x fusion forks but when the price of a new fork is half the price of the bike itself (minium), it's probably worth saving the money and putting it towards a new bike in a year or two time. Worth looking second hand as well for a cheaper option but 650b is still very new so not many about.

These are the only ones that will fit, they are not much of an upgrade but will be better, the next 27.5" forks they stock have a 15mm thru axle (see below)
