Intro: When Riding Becomes a Statement
There’s something magical about the roar of engines mixed with well-cut suits and a meaningful noble purpose. On May 18, 2025, over 3,000 riders across India suited up, swung a leg over their classic bikes, and joined the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride (DGR)—beyond chrome, leather, horses, and roaring engines. It’s about raising awareness for prostate cancer and men’s mental health, and this year, India once again proved it rides with both heart and style.
Backed by Triumph Motorcycles, the ride turned heads and touched hearts across 46 Indian towns, uniting a growing tribe of passionate riders.
A Global Movement, A Record-Breaking Year
The DGR 2025 wasn’t just a ride—it was a global wave of solidarity. With 127,000 riders in 1,038 cities across 108 countries, this edition raised a record-breaking $7.6 million USD, the highest in the event’s history. It united lovers of classic and modern-classic motorcycles for one common cause—men’s health.
The standout fundraiser? Joseph Mancinelli from Canada, who raised over $62,000 solo, bringing his lifetime contribution close to $550,000 since he first joined in 2017.
Kudos to him!
India Steps Up with Style and Spirit
In India, the energy was electric. From Mumbai’s coastal roads to Guwahati’s green lanes, riders showed up dressed to impress—and ride for impact. A total of 3,078 participants across 46 towns turned this into one of the most successful DGR editions ever on Indian soil.
Backed by 42 Triumph dealerships, the ride wasn’t just well-coordinated—it was heartfelt. Riders weren’t just there for the throttle—they came for the cause.
Star Power and Purpose: Amit Sadh Joins the Ride
Adding flair and inspiration to the Mumbai ride was actor Amit Sadh, a true-blue Triumph fan. Dressed in his signature suave style, he called the ride “meditation on wheels” and a symbol of doing something that matters. “It’s not just about speed or style—it’s about giving back,” he said.
Triumph Tribe: 12 Years of Brotherhood
For the 12th consecutive year, Triumph Motorcycles India led the way. It wasn’t just about hosting an event—it was about nurturing a community. With the success of models like the Speed 400, Scrambler 400 X, and now the Daytona 660, Triumph has been winning hearts while also spreading awareness through initiatives like DGR.
As Manik Nangia, President, Pro-Biking put it, “This isn’t just a ride—it’s a visible, powerful act of unity.”
