There are 2 versions of the disc trucker fork:
26" disc trucker fork Axle-to-crown: 376mm Rake: 45mm
700c disc trucker fork Axle-to-crown: 390mm Rake: 45mm

ignore the name, the 26" works fine with 700c wheels and has a clerance of about 355mm (x 60mm wide at the top) so there is room for 35mm tires. The main drawback is it is pretty heavy: about 1.1 kg.

^^ are you suggesting him to use the 26" fork instead of the 700c?

I am a bit unsure if he is looking for a short roadbike-like fork (376mm) or a cross fork (390mm) (I cant find the original question/thread/bike).

So if the answer is a roadbike-like disc fork, this one (surly disc trucker 26" fork) exists and is an option.

Sorry for the confusion.

That's interesting to note, I'll have to give it some thought.
I doubt the stock genesis forks are that light to begin with so I doubt I'd notice any extra weight, if abt
