it isn't.
It's important for racing bikes to be strong enough and as light as possible, and that can often be achieved by using metal in their construction. But carbon fiber can also be used.

What is a Dirtbike?
If you have never owned a dirt bike its a motorcycle made for off road and not on road purposes but you may change the tires to go on road. Once you get better you can race one another, free ride, or do free style. I recommend free ride once you get used to the bike. There are also different dirt bikes for example: 50cc, 70cc, 80cc, 110cc, 125cc, 150cc, and 250cc. There are also two different kinds of dirt bikes, Trail and Racing. Trial dirt bikes are for the mountains and free ride but not made for racing they also go slower than racing dirt bikes. Racing Dirt bikes are made for racing and are way faster than trail bikes. There are also 4stroke dirt bikes and 2stroke dirt bikes. 2 strokes take oil in there gas and way faster than four strokes and 4 strokes take regular gas. I was at the trake once with a kid with a 2stroke and I have a 4stroke 80cc and course he beat me to a race not because I'm not bad because I have been riding for about 4 or 5 years its because he had a 2 stroke. but the kid did have more skill than I did because he did actual races. sometimes its not how big the bike is its how much skill you have

Dirt bikes have their origin in Britain, where crazy people took their newfangled motorcycles and started racing them around fields in scrambling competitions. There were no specialised bikes, everyone was running "road bikes", so the first trick was probably a powerslide
How much carbon is used when people ride bikes?
In racing bikes, ideally as much as possible is carbon because it's light. However, generally moving parts are made of other materials as carbon is not great for that kind of thing.
