The annual Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride has achieved a record number of rides in 2026, spanning a total of 109 countries.

The charity event, which has been supported by Triumph since 2014, set a new record with 1,068 rides globally, although the total participation figures have not yet been confirmed. The event took place on May 17, as riders from all over the world including the UK, Europe, and Africa, rode a wide selection of vintage and classic motorcycles.

DGR supports men’s mental health and prostate cancer research, and since its inception in 2012, it has raised over $60 million (more than £44 million). As well as the record number of rides at this year’s event, 3,069 riders officially took part with ‘Team Triumph’.

As part of Team Triumph, riders were entered into an exclusive prize draw to win a premium clothing package from The DGR x Triumph Collection.

The prizes don’t stop there, as Triumph is also giving away a one‑off custom Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer DGR Edition as part of the Gentlefolk Prize draw. Fundraising remains open until May 31, after which The DGR prize winners will be announced.

Additionally, Triumph will also give away brand new modern classic motorcycles to the top three performing fundraisers worldwide.

“This is our 13th year as the official motorcycle partner of The DGR, bringing riders together in style, community, and purpose. With the support of our Team Triumph ambassadors, it’s inspiring to see even more Triumph owners around the world taking part and contributing to the continued success of this remarkable event.”
