In 2019, Pikes Peak International Hill Climb announced the cessation of its motorcycle activities after the reached of Carlin Dunn, who spoke about the perils of high-speed racing on 156 turns on an asphalt track. After two years of reviewing the inclusion of motorcycles in the Pikes Peak racing program, the race organizers concluded that motorcycles would be excluded from the race indefinitely in the future.
Where dirt bikes were once the preferred way to reach the top of Pikes Peak, they have been replaced by road bikes.
