It is almost time to bust out the tweeds, tickle the old Amals and fire up that classic motorcycle for the annual Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride. The 2026 DGR, taking place worldwide on Sunday May 17th, brings riders together to raise funds for men’s mental health and prostate cancer research. In 2025, more than 127,000 riders took part across 1,038 rides in 108 countries, raising an incredible $7.6 million for Movember. As the event’s official motorcycle partner, Triumph continues its long-standing support of the global charity ride. To mark 15 years of riding dapper, Triumph has crafted this unique Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer as the Gentlefolk Prize. A bespoke Harris Tweed seat, made from authenticated, handwoven fabric from the Outer Hebrides — a material closely associated with the style of DGR riders around the world. The motorcycle also features a dedicated 15 Years of Dapper anniversary graphic and number board, along with a certificate of authentication.
“For 2026, we wanted to create a motorcycle that is a tribute to the spirit of The DGR community,” notes Triumph’s Chief Commercial Officer Paul Stroud. “This one-off Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer DGR Edition is a celebration of the craft and character of the riders who make The DGR what it is, and this year, every rider who completes the steps to enter the Gentlefolk Competition has an equal chance to win, not just the riders who can raise the most money. That’s a really exciting change that I hope will spur even more riders on, to sign up and take part.”
For 2026, five international Triumph ambassadors were the first to sign up for Team Triumph, including Scott Britton (@scottbrits), riding in the U.S. “As someone who has seen the impact of cancer all across the world, it’s amazing to be able to take part in an event and moment that brings people together through the love of our friends and family and also the love of Triumph and a great ride out,” he says. “I couldn’t be more proud to suit up and ride with Team Triumph at this year’s ride where we can all make a real difference.”
Once registered for The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride, U.S. riders can choose to join Team Triumph and join Scott in uniting modern classic enthusiasts and Triumph fans around the world. Riding with Team Triumph gives participants the chance to join a global community connected by purpose and style, unlock the exclusive Triumph prize draw and contribute directly to Movember’s life‑changing programs. Triumph will also award brand new modern classic motorcycles to the top three fundraisers worldwide, further motivating riders to make a difference.
