As a coordinated team effort, I believe the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride (DGR) is the best thing we motorcyclists have given back to society. That might be because I'm a cancer survivor and someone who lives with relatively severe mental health conditions, but even if I take away my personal affiliation with the causes, it's still objectively true.
Since its inception in 2012, the DGR has raised more than $60 million for prostate cancer research and men's mental health. Now, Triumph has launched a new DGR apparel collection that's not so 'distinguished' that you need a special occasion to show your support for the event. The new 2026 collection supporting the DGR is made up of nine products, including a jacket, tees, caps, neck tube, patch, and a pin badge.
Standout pieces like the Harold Coach Jacket, Dudley Long Sleeve Tee, and Wallace Pocket Tee offer versatile everyday style. Accessories complete the line-up, giving riders easy ways to carry the spirit of The DGR, whether on or off the bike. For me, the coolest piece of kit is the Harold DGR Coach Jacket by far, but I think anyone who wants a more low-key way to show their support should look into the Gerald Chest Logo Tee. If you're cynically-minded like me, you might be wondering how buying this apparel really supports the cause or just lines Triumph's pockets.
For every ‘Triumph Motorcycles x The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride’ piece sold, 15% of the sale will go towards prostate cancer and men’s mental health initiatives. So if you never take part in one of the 1,038 DRR events happening across 108 countries, or you do but don't manage to drum up any donations, purchasing some gear from this collection will help to support men going through unimaginable hardships.
For those who are wondering why Triumph specifically is putting out this collection, it's because the brand has been supporting the DGR for 13 years. Funds raised through this limited-edition apparel collection will also go toward the Movember charity, which is the largest men’s health organization and one of the largest non-government funders specifically supporting testicular cancer.
