A Decade of Triumph in India
Triumph Motorcycles has enjoyed a phenomenal 11-year run in India, establishing a loyal and ever-expanding “Triumph Tribe.” Triumph’s diverse range of motorcycles, including the recent successes of the Scrambler 400 and Speed 400 in the country, has resonated with riders seeking a blend of classic style and modern performance. This strong presence has translated into consistent growth, with new members joining the community and solidifying Triumph’s position as a leading premium motorcycle brand in the Indian market.
The ride is open to all classic and modern classic motorcyclists who can register online at https://www.gentlemansride.com/register.
Triumph and DGR: The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride was founded in Sydney, Australia, by Mark Hawwa. Mr. Hawwa decided a themed ride would be a great way to combat the often-negative stereotype of men on motorcycles while connecting the global motorcycling community and raising funds for a cause important to every rider. Triumph became the official motorcycle partner of the DGR in 2014, bringing a commitment to increase awareness about prostate cancer research and issues related to men’s mental health and ultimately increase fundraising in support of this worthy cause. From limited-edition Bonneville T120s to classic biking gear and plenty more, riders who manage to raise the most funds globally will be taking home a host of spectacular rewards.
Talking about the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride, Sumeet Narang, President, Pro-Biking (Bajaj Auto Ltd.), said: “In its 11th year, the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride has become an eagerly awaited feature on bike aficionado’s calendars across the country. We witnessed impressive participation, with people turning up in their swankiest and putting their best foot forward, all for a great cause. For us, the DGR is about celebrating our love for classic bikes and channelling that to raise awareness about prostate cancer research and issues related to men’s mental health. With the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X witnessing record sales numbers, we expect enthusiastic participation across the board. Here’s to another unforgettable run, and I urge people to come and join us and create memories for life for the ride.”
