Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride 2026

The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride (DGR) takes place on Sunday 17 May, and registration is now open for riders worldwide. As official motorcycle partner, Triumph has simultaneously revealed this year's Gentlefolk Prize – a one-off Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer DGR Edition, created exclusively for the event.

In 2025, DGR brought together 127,000 riders across 108 countries, raising an extraordinary 7.6 million USD for Movember – the organisation working to improve men’s mental health and fund prostate cancer research. Over the 15 years since its founding, DGR has raised a total of 60.37 million USD for the cause.

This year’s prize – a motorcycle in tweed

To mark DGR’s 15th anniversary, Triumph has built a special version of the Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer. Its most striking feature is the seat, upholstered in hand-woven Harris Tweed® from the Outer Hebrides in Scotland – a fabric long associated with the distinctive style of DGR riders worldwide. The motorcycle also features a unique anniversary graphic and a certificate of authenticity.

How to win

Unlike previous years, the Gentlefolk Prize will be decided by a random draw rather than the highest fundraiser. To enter, riders must register at gentlemansride.com and unlock four profile badges: complete your rider profile, make a personal donation, donate to a fellow participant, and raise at least USD 250. Everyone who meets the criteria is automatically entered into the draw.

The three riders who raise the most money will each win a brand-new Triumph motorcycle.

Triumph and the DGR

Triumph has been the official partner since 2014 and is now in its 13th year of supporting the event.

“This is our 13th year and we wanted to create a motorcycle that is a true tribute to the spirit of the DGR community,” says Paul Stroud, Chief Commercial Officer at Triumph.
