Revisiting DGR 2025: A celebration of style, spirit, and solidarity with Triumph Motorcycles
May 18, 2025 marked a defining moment for India's motorcycling community as over 3000 riders across 40+ cities came together for one purpose: to ride with distinction, and more importantly, with cause. The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride (DGR) 2025, a global initiative to raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer research and men's mental health, was steered across the country by Triumph Motorcycles, DGR's global sponsor. What made this year exceptional though wasn't just the scale, but the sheer emotion it carried. The roar of throttles was matched by the strength of purpose, as riders showed up not just in vintage suits, suspenders, and polished brogues, but in spirit. This was not just a ride. It was a statement. The numbers speak volumes In its most widespread edition yet, DGR 2025 saw participation from over 48 Indian cities, including Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, and more. From café racers to bobbers, modern classics to roadsters, the community came alive with an elegance rarely seen on the roads. With more than 3000 dapper riders suited in tailored charm and vintage aesthetics, the event transcended a simple group ride. It became a nationwide pledge to men's health, showcasing how motorcycles can unite people for a cause that deeply matters. Triumph Motorcycles leading DGR India Triumph's classic British design and modern engineering were in perfect harmony at this year's DGR. With motorcycles that capture the elegance of yesteryear and the performance of today, Triumph's Modern Classics, including the Bonneville range, Speed 400, and Scrambler 400 X formed the backbone of the event, with 1974 Triumph Motorcycle owners joining the ride. These machines didn't just turn heads; they embodied the spirit of DGR: Timeless, dignified, and full of purpose. Manik Nangia, President, Pro Biking, Bajaj Auto Ltd. said, 'The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride is more than an event, it's a statement. This year, India's participation says it all, how much we believe in the ride and the purpose as well. Our riders added unmatched strength, elegance and unity to the global movement. It's been the most inspiring edition yet.' Amit Sadh: Championing the cause Among the many who participated was actor and avid motorcyclist Amit Sadh. Known for his advocacy of mindful riding, Sadh exemplified the DGR spirit; riding not as a public figure, but as a passionate part of the community. 'I am proud to join a global movement that uses style, camaraderie and the spirit of riding to spark important conversations and drive real change', he shared. His presence wasn't about celebrity value but more about solidarity. His ride reflected DGR's motto of ' Riding with purpose.' The purpose stands strong Since its inception in 2012, The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride has become a global phenomenon, bringing together over half a million riders and raising awareness for issues that often go unspoken. In India, it's evolved into something more– a cultural movement where style meets soul, where every rev of the engine is a pledge to care, to speak up, and to support men's health. The 2025 edition proved that when the community rides together, it rides with unmatched strength. As the engines settle and the roads grow quiet, one truth remains— when we ride together, we ride for change.
