I've got a good deal on a second hand 2015 giant reign advanced 1. It comes with a rockshox pike rc dpa. The fork offset is 46mm rather than the standard 42mm. I plan to upgrade to a fox 36 in the future. Can I still put a fork on a bike with a different offset than the one it came with and will it really make a noticeable difference?

I have the 170mm fox 36 on mines with a 44mm rake. Doesn't make a difference to me and I don't really notice it.

Even if you do feel a difference in the steering and handling I’m sure you would adjust pretty quickly. Another option might be to keep the Pike chassis with the correct offset and throw in a damper upgrade from Avalanche or FAST.
