Could be - not sure it's the ideal style for the bike it's going on but happy to consider if you want to a photo or two and a price? Cheers

mcrbikes have a few 410mm AC forks though labelled as 650b, not sure how much the geo would change with that but might be worth a punt, finding rigid forks with those requirements is (atleast when I did similar) a bit of a needle in a haystack. If you did want to try 440ish AC Identiti have some XC forks readily available but steel so maybe a bit weightier than what you want. Exotic Carbon forks spring to mind, On One had some carbon 26ers, think Bontrager had some carbon switchblades. Toseek forks off Aliexpress seem to have a decent reputation too.

Funnily enough I've had - and got rid of - the Exotic ones and those Bontrager Switchblades over the years. And also a Trigon fork that would have been perfect. I think I might have to consider the Toseek ones on a bang-for-buck basis (even the ones sent from the UK are about £80, and there are alloy models around £45) so it might end up being something like that unless I can find a second hand model at decent value.

Some years ago i got hold of a Mosso fork. It is a canti and disc model and i think it might be an MD4, or M4. Something like that, anyway. It is 405mm A2C and very light so those are another option. They clear 2.2 tyres with bags of room and look very well made. I can't comment on the newer versions.

You can find technical drawings, on the net, of all the different models and they show the dimensions of interest.

Add the Mosso to the list of perfectly suitable forks I've had some years ago and sold! Actually that was a great alloy fork and you're right, way lighter than any other alloy fork I've tried. That would definitely do the trick.

Mine must be quite a few years old now. I got it as a placeholder but it is now earning its keep on my dad bike. I weighed it many moons ago and i think it might have been about 680 grams, or there abouts with 200mm of steerer. The newer versions might still be around that weight and i can't say i recall reading negative things about the Mosso forks.

i remember reading negative comments about them having a harsh ride, but i can't say that i have found it hard work. It has a little bit of spring in it and 2.2 tyres are a soft ride so no complaints.

I've only found an exotic with a 1 1/8 steerer and qr drop outs. Have a nice exotic monocoque carbon fork but it's tapered with qr.
