Carl Cranke is an American former motorcycle enduro competitor. He represented the United States in 10 International Six Day Trials in the 1960s and 1970s.[1] He earned seven gold medals and two silver medals in ISDT competition.[1] Cranke is also remembered for his tuning abilities with two-stroke engines and was also credited with helping develop Penton motorcycles.[1] Pentons were off-road competition motorcycles primarily designed and sold in the United States by John Penton. Initial frame manufacturing and assembly were done by the KTM factory of Austria, which eventually took over all production and distribution in the United States.

He was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 2000.[1]
