Pune, 8, May 2025 - Triumph Motorcycles, a brand steeped in 120+ years of heritage and passion for motorcycling, invites enthusiasts of vintage and classic-style motorcycle riders from all over India to change the face of men's health: the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride 2025 (DGR) on May 18th. Dapper motorcyclists from 40+ Indian cities shall ride as one in celebration of a common cause that inspires motorcycle riders from all over the globe - donating to prostate cancer research and men's mental health initiatives.

In its 14th year, the DGR is not merely a worldwide event – it's a celebration of traditional motorcycling ethos, sartorial sophistication, and camaraderie. Since 2012, the event has united over half a million riders in more than 100 countries, contributing more than USD $55 million towards men's health initiatives.

Celebrating the Ride and the Cause with the Triumph Tribe

In 2025, Triumph Motorcycles proudly celebrates 12 years of success in India, growing its presence and building a thriving, loyal community of Triumph riders. The company has consistently adapted to the aspirations of Indian motorcycling enthusiasts, with a range that effortlessly unites heritage and innovation. Post the phenomenal success of the Speed 400, Speed T4 and Scrambler 400 X, Triumph Motorcycles has further consolidated its position in India with the launch of the eagerly awaited Daytona. With steady growth, increasing dealership network with over 140 showrooms across the country, and a strong community of riders, Triumph has cemented its position as a top premium motorcycle brand in India.

A ride with a Purpose

The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride was founded in Sydney, Australia, by Mark Hawwa. Mr. Hawwa decided a themed ride would be a great way to combat the often-negative stereotype of men on motorcycles while connecting the global motorcycling community and raising funds for a cause important to every rider. Triumph became the official motorcycle partner of the DGR in 2014, bringing a commitment to increase awareness about prostate cancer research and issues related to men’s mental health and ultimately increase fundraising in support of this worthy cause. From limited-edition Bonneville T120s to classic biking gear and plenty more, riders who manage to raise the most funds globally will be taking home a host of spectacular rewards.

Riders can sign up and join #TeamTriumph for the 2025 Distinguished Gentleman's Ride at https://www.gentlemansride.com/register

Participants who join Team Triumph, a dedicated rider’s group, will be joining Triumph’s global community whilst raising money, and the top five fundraisers in the Triumph DGR Riders Group will be rewarded with all the items in this year’s DGR & Triumph Collection.
