Rennie Scaysbrook Pikes Peak Motorcycle Lap Record - Cycle News

[@ErikEmstad]

Dang, son! Your reaction at the top, so raw, such joy, brought me to tears. Especially knowing what would follow so soon after.. Such a great ride. Thank you.

[@cyclenews]

Cheers!

[@stevetag6572]

After racing for years and with many trophies, I drove up the Peak last summer in a Ford Expedition, and, could not believe how sick this road is. I was scared to death in an SUV....I just cannot imagine the courage and strength these people have. Don't die before you have a chance to climb this mountain.

[@wildwhiskeywolf]

Pikes Peak event needs to be brought back. This is phenomenal. Thanks for sharing.

[@cyclenews]

Cheers, glad you enjoyed it!

[@zippy0099]

The raw emotion at the top. It truly revealed just how much relief you had that it was over. Knowing what can happen on that mountain. Relief, pride, joy, excitement, accomplishment, adrenaline, and then...horror and sadness, and feeling like it could have just as easily been you... I don’t know how you held together all those emotions at one time. I really wish it didn’t have to be so bitter sweet...you rode your ass off!! Congratulations!!!

[@POLDRO]

A helicopter shot of this record breaking ride would have been nice... Congrats!

[@beauzo9965]

Congrats. Respect. Any chance of getting just the dash view of the full run?

[@endasthenrik516]

OMG what a ride! It is more like a MX ride how bumpy it is! Mad respect! And as someone already said, the reaction at the end is so RAW... it shows how much you put into every millisecond of that ride! Dang!

[@pauldalziel7854]

10min 25 secs into the video is rough, glad he made it through - what a run!

[@speedpower2740]

I think that's exactly where Carlin lost control and went off

[@hawkman996]

Loved every minute of that roller coaster ride! From straight ripping and nailing the turns, to the butt pucker moments avoiding the guardrail, and what seemed like backing it down just a smidge on the bumpy top section. My favorite has to be the raw emotion once past the finish line. Love seeing Fillmore coming to congratulate you. Once you hear the actual time your emotions overtook me some and I teared up. I can only imagine the amount of focus that mountain demands. You can hear it in your breathing as all those emotions come out at once. Congrats yet again on an awesome ride and the new record. R.I.P. Carlin

[@Csirkefoga]

What a true and honest reaction in the end, full dedication and commitment! Well done!

[@cyclenews]

Cheers!

[@randysiler7458]

That was impressive! I wish in my youth I had the skill, nerve and determination to ride a motorcycle like that. His emotions at the top were awesome. Congratulations on the record. RIP Carlin!

So fast. The joy at the end was well earned.

[@arjenbootsma6881]

In memoriam Carlin Dunne, the GOAT on the PPIHC. Fantastic ride by Rennie Scaysbrook. I rode the PPIHC on a similarly gorgeous day in early June this year, at a far more leisurely pace, that mountain is bloody scary!

[@floridaman3234]

It's amazing how you can come off from being so focused onto pure relief and joy so fast. Well deserved, and he looked amazing from my point of view when I was there.

[@htothejay]

Amazing!! Just danced with death for 10 min, and came out on top👌

Amazing ride, thanks for letting us come along!

[@Csirkefoga]

I’ve just visited Pike’s Peak today. Last 3 miles had to take a bus, as there’s limited parking up top due to the construction of the new visitor’s center. We didn’t really do much at the peak still got super dizzy!! So Rennie, how the f... do You deal with pressure changes in Your ear during such a fast ascent? How about dizzyness? Amazing!! Kudos again.

[@cyclenews]

Thanks! You have to just make sure you're breathing in a smooth fashion. Keep the breath regulated and it the elevation change isn't so bad.

[@Joric78]

Great job. Interesting to hear you wanted a more compliant setup. I remember watching your reviews for motousa and cyclenews for the KTM Super Duke 1290 (and other streetfighters), and didn't realise how quick you were. Hearing a local accent in American content always throws me a bit as well.

[@saxsax914]

Top ride!!! Great Rennie Scaysbrook!!!

I only learned Carlin existed 2 days ago and for all the die hard fans anx everyone that loved him im truly sorry for your loss he seemed like an amazing dude and one hell of a racer! This type of racing here is epic to say the least and its so full of passion m hooked for life!

[@crownmoto]

Awesome tears of joy! Well done, Rennie!

[@cyclenews]

[@1fastmr]

That riders reaction at the top is all you need to know about how hard it is to go under 10 seconds. Good job.

I could watch that front suspension shot all day!! Wow what a run!

[@alanung]

Congrats on a fantastic controlled ride!

[@ja-bv3lq]

CO native here... BTW, the drop-off at the corner at 06'20" in the video is called The Bottomless Pit. If you go off that one, you have time to call someone love before you... well...

[@wordreet]

OMG! This is truly emotional, knowing what happened soon afterwards! Nothing is taken away from Rennie's stunning achievement. Goddam that is scary even sitting here in my chair. 👍 But we will still remember Carlin and his potential time forever! 😔

Great Ride. Looked like a Handful coming into those Hairpins after the Big Squirt between them. The Aprilia sounded beautiful as well. After his previous disappointments it was good to see him get the record.

[@coltusound9168]

Congratulations mate. Great run. RIP Carlin...

[@Jonathan_Doe_]

Do you think the organisers decision to permanently remove bikes from the event was right? Or do you feel that the riders know and accept the risks so it should be their choice like the Isle of Mann TT? (Sorry for the loss of your friend). I think painting the corners an alternating black/white pattern, some air crash barriers or catch nets near big drops, and running more free practice could help make it safer for bikes, but the sand/dust getting blown onto the road will always make the traction vary in unpredictable ways.

[@amurgatroyd]

Congratulations, you deserve this

10:23 Rip Carlin Dunne.Gone with the thing that he love to do.. Goggle it The hour without media: Pikes Peak Hill Climb shuts down press after Carlin Dunne's crash

[@followtheciaence]

This riders front tire skidded over two feet on that bump. That's what killed Dunne.

[@jondog9]

Congrats on your victory Rennie! Outstanding riding. Fantastic camera positions too. I especially love the one on the left front corner. I got to watch intently to how the ohlins was behaving. Were you completely comfortable with the setting? I thought i noticed a few times when she wanted to start a little head shake as you drove out of a turn. Steering damper? LoL, I'm no racer, just a rider and enthusiast. That moment starting at 5:42 - great save! Thank you, and the whole team, for this video. My condolences to all who knew and loved Carlin Dunne. So sorry to lose a fellow rider.. RIP

[@riccimartino7560]

Great rider. I would have dropped it making that turn where he didn't do the second downshift and had to correct

[@tammyforbes2101]

Damn he’s fast! I ride a 1000 and no way could I get up there that fast, for one I’m to big and heavy! Weight keeps me from racing, but not stunting, and I’m a mad scientist on a sport bike, or any bike for that matter! So I know skill when I see it and man this cat can ride! I don’t know how he comes off those corners so hard my bike would go crazy trying to get on the throttle at that much Lean angle even with sticky warm tires! I would love to just cruise to the top!

[@yessure5291]

Try Elkview Road in Chilliwack BC, Canada. :)

[@richardkey4289]

Apex mtn.road, pen to ton B.C. nice pavement

[@richardkey4289]

" penticton, B.C."

[@TriptoCo]

I'm confused. Where on a bike can you put balls this big on? Are their special saddle bags to hold them, or just sling 'em over your shoulder?

[@Birky_41]

Has everything switched off but map on the softest sport. Glad I'm not the only one who finds this a nice smooth map! Not sure why the brake reservoir is on the left though?

[@snaphook31]

I noticed that about the reservoir as well. But, that wasn't just in the Sport map. If you watched some of the older videos, there is a guy that that flew from Italy to build custom maps for him. Having just been in Steamboat Springs, CO, I get why. The altitude really saps power. I was having to wring up the RPM's considerably to get the same power, and there was lag - which the guy from Aprilia solved for Rennie. No way he would have that much engine braking like Sport mode generates.

[@cyclenews]

That was for the thumb rear brake. The map says Sport, but in reality, it was all custom. We only had it in Sport as that was the map that got the custom treatment. The ECU was actually a Marelli unit from Italy with a custom throttle and engine brake map.

[@cyclenews]

@@snaphook31 I actually had more engine braking with the custom map we made with Nicola from Italy, but it was only from 9000 rpm to 5000 rpm to help pull me into the corner. From 12,000 rpm to 9000 rpm it had less engine braking and more freewheel, which helped straight-line braking. -- Rennie

[@snaphook31]

@@cyclenews That's really interesting and so dialed in. Thanks for the explanation. BTW, I'm the dude from the Indian place in Buttonwillow that was in town for the Aprilia Racer Days. :) It was great following your progress and that was one hell of a run. Cheers.
