425 is usually for 80mm forksjaydrunkenpee said:It depends on how long of a travel suspension fork your frame was designed for. If I remember correctly, the 425mm is designed to replace 100mm+ travel forks.
I have very little clearance between the top of my Conti 2.5in x 26in tyre and the crown, with my 400mm fork... I can't imagine any 29in tyre fitting in there. A 700c one, yes, but not a mtb-sized 29er...WTB-rider said:I believe the 400mm is not corrected for suspension and will quicken the handling. 425mm is suspension corrected and will handle a touch slower . The 425 will be easier to mount
a 29" front wheel if the mood strikes down the road although it can be done with the 400(this is the model I have and I run a 29" front wheel) as well.

The planet x fork is the same fork as the on-one superlight, which we're stocking shortly in a 440mm length - more like a 100mm compressed suspension fork (at ride height).
The 420mm one (it's not 425mm), is closer to an 80mm suspension fork.
The 400mm one is a non suspension corrected chunky fork that's largely designed for trials riders.
