    I am considering buying a Cane Creek Double Barrel for my Ellsworth Moment, but would like to know what other current bikes run that size shock, with the view to carrying it over to another bike when I start itching to try something different.

    Ventana X5, Ventana El Ciclon (with 5.5 or 6" rockers)and Ventana El Terremoto.

    If you do get one I would be VERY interested in how it goes. I've heard nothing but praise for them.

    Sinister Gruitr in long travel mode (5.5 – 6.5). stick a 160mm fork on and it's a great all-day bike for the mountains.

    Pitch and Enduro (I think) you can run a 200×57 shock on the Nicolai Helius CC too

    caninondale prophet in its slack setting (i think) gives about 150mm of travel and inbetween geometry.

    No, rear tyre will foul the seat tube if you do this in the slack (FR) position. It works in the XC position, but why you'd want to do this I'm not sure (higher BB, and steeper head angle?). The Prophet is best with the standard 200 x 50

    Now, the Cannondale Gemini does use a 200 x 57 shock as standard.
