Revisiting DGR 2025: A celebration of style, spirit, and solidarity with Triumph Motorcycles
May 18, 2025 marked a defining moment for India's motorcycling community as over 3000 riders across 40+ cities came together for one purpose: to ride with distinction, and more importantly, with cause. The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride (DGR) 2025, a global initiative to raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer research and men's mental health, was steered across the country by Triumph Motorcycles, DGR's global sponsor. What made this year exceptional though wasn't just the scale, but the sheer emotion it carried. The roar of throttles was matched by the strength of purpose, as riders showed up not just in vintage suits, suspenders, and polished brogues, but in spirit. This was not just a ride. It was a statement. The numbers speak volumes In its most widespread edition yet, DGR 2025 saw participation from over 48 Indian cities, including Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, and more. From café racers to bobbers, modern classics to roadsters, the community came alive with an elegance rarely seen on the roads. With more than 3000 dapper riders suited in tailored charm and vintage aesthetics, the event transcended a simple group ride. It became a nationwide pledge to men's health, showcasing how motorcycles can unite people for a cause that deeply matters. Triumph Motorcycles leading DGR India Triumph's classic British design and modern engineering were in perfect harmony at this year's DGR. With motorcycles that capture the elegance of yesteryear and the performance of today, Triumph's Modern Classics, including the Bonneville range, Speed 400, and Scrambler 400 X formed the backbone of the event, with 1974 Triumph Motorcycle owners joining the ride. These machines didn't just turn heads; they embodied the spirit of DGR: Timeless, dignified, and full of purpose. Manik Nangia, President, Pro Biking, Bajaj Auto Ltd. said, 'The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride is more than an event, it's a statement. This year, India's participation says it all, how much we believe in the ride and the purpose as well. Our riders added unmatched strength, elegance and unity to the global movement. It's been the most inspiring edition yet.' Amit Sadh: Championing the cause Among the many who participated was actor and avid motorcyclist Amit Sadh. Known for his advocacy of mindful riding, Sadh exemplified the DGR spirit; riding not as a public figure, but as a passionate part of the community. 'I am proud to join a global movement that uses style, camaraderie and the spirit of riding to spark important conversations and drive real change', he shared. His presence wasn't about celebrity value but more about solidarity. His ride reflected DGR's motto of ' Riding with purpose.' The purpose stands strong Since its inception in 2012, The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride has become a global phenomenon, bringing together over half a million riders and raising awareness for issues that often go unspoken. In India, it's evolved into something more– a cultural movement where style meets soul, where every rev of the engine is a pledge to care, to speak up, and to support men's health. The 2025 edition proved that when the community rides together, it rides with unmatched strength. As the engines settle and the roads grow quiet, one truth remains— when we ride together, we ride for change.

Triumph Speed T4 gets a striking Baja Orange makeover
Triumph Motorcycles has hit the sweet spot in the Indian market with its 400cc TR-series, and its success story continues with the launch of the Speed T4 in a bold new colour: Baja Orange. The new variant marks a visual refresh that stands out in the segment, drawing on Triumph's rich design legacy. Inspired by the glow of desert horizons and the ambience of golden-hour rides, Baja Orange is a shade previously seen on Triumph's larger motorcycles like the Street Triple 765 R and Scrambler 1200 XE. Speed T4 the first bike in this space to wear the hue. Since its launch in October 2024, the Speed T4 has shown strong performance, doubling its sales volume in just a few months. The TR-series has grown 30% year-on-year in FY25, underlining the rising demand for accessible, premium motorcycles in India. Triumph's success with this platform has placed it firmly at the second spot in the classic motorcycle segment — a notable achievement given the fierce competition and evolving customer expectations in this space. The Speed T4 is positioned as a modern classic, designed for riders who are either stepping into the world of performance biking or looking for something stylish yet easy to live with. At the heart of the bike is a 398cc engine that delivers 31 PS at 7,000 rpm and 36 Nm of torque at 5,000 rpm, with a strong low-end pull between 3,500 and 5,500 rpm. This makes it ideal for both city commutes and highway runs, with enough flexibility to keep newer riders confident and experienced riders engaged. The ride quality is enhanced by 43 mm telescopic forks, a slipper clutch for smoother downshifts, and dual-channel ABS for added safety — all features that contribute to its easy-going nature without compromising on fun. Feedback from riders and reviewers has been largely positive, particularly when it comes to the bike's handling. The chassis feels light and responsive, the riding position is neutral and comfortable, and the suspension strikes a good balance between firmness and comfort. Whether you are navigating traffic or heading out for a weekend ride, the Speed T4 feels composed and predictable, which is exactly what many riders are looking for at this price point. Visually, the Baja Orange variant gets a few subtle but impactful touches — such as, a brushed steel exhaust, a 3D Speed T4 badge, and matching tyre stripes. Combined with the updated frame colour, it gives the bike a more premium and cohesive look. The new colour joins existing options like Caspian Blue, Lava Red, and Phantom Black, offering buyers a wider range of aesthetic choices. The Speed T4 continues to be one of the most accessible ways into the Triumph brand. It delivers a slice of British heritage with modern-day practicality, making it a compelling option for anyone looking to upgrade to a bigger, better motorcycle without stretching their budget too far. It is this blend of style, performance, and affordability that has made Triumph's 400cc models resonate with Indian riders. The Baja Orange, priced at ₹2.05 lakh, may be new, but the Speed T4's appeal remains rooted in what has worked for Triumph so far: a motorcycle that is easy to ride, enjoyable to own, and proudly wears the legacy of a brand that understands what today's motorcyclist want.

The 400 cc TR-series engines are used in all 400 cc motorcycles. Check Offers Triumph India has announced that they are offering a 10-year warranty on the Scrambler 400 X, Speed 400 and the Speed T4. This includes a 5-year standard warranty and a 5-year extended warranty. Earlier, the company offered the motorcycles with a 2-year unlimited kilometre standard warranty + a 3-year 45,000 km extended warranty. What is interesting, though, Triumph has not mentioned that the same 10-year warranty is applicable to the recently launched Scrambler 400 XC. Affordable Triumph Scrambler under development Triumph Motorcycles is preparing a new, more accessible variant of its Scrambler 400 X as part of a comprehensive strategy to broaden its entry-level offerings. This upcoming model, informally referred to as the Scrambler T4, is anticipated to feature a simplified aesthetic and a more affordable price point, similar to how the Speed T4 is positioned below the Speed 400. In terms of appearance, the prototype motorcycle showcases several modifications: a redesigned side body panel, a compact windscreen, and USD front forks that are finished in a more understated black rather than the typical vibrant style. The seat is now a single piece, replacing the split design of the 400 X, and rubber tank pads are also omitted.

The handlebar has also been simplified, lacking brace pads and knuckle guards. This suggests that the new motorcycle will be marketed as a budget-friendly option. Triumph Scrambler 400 XC launched Triumph Scrambler 400 XC will use the same 400cc TR series engine that is doing duty on the Speed 400, Scrambler 400 X and Speed T4.

Both wheels feature spoked rims, with the spokes arranged in a crossed pattern, allowing for a tubeless design. This configuration provides the advantages of being tubeless while also enhancing durability. Additionally, the motorcycle now includes an engine and sump guard as standard equipment, a high windscreen to shield the rider from windblast, and tank pads that not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also assist the rider in gripping the tank.

Check out how the Triumph Scrambler 400 XC differs from the Scrambler 400 X
Triumph Motorcycles has expanded its 400 cc lineup in India with the launch of the Scrambler 400 XC. This new variant serves as a more adventurous alternative to the standard Scrambler 400 X, catering to riders who desire more than just urban cruising. With improved styling, off-road-oriented features, and ready-to-ride accessories, the XC seeks to redefine factory-built trail capabilities. Here's a brief comparison between the Scrambler 400 XC and the Scrambler 400. Triumph Scrambler 400 XC vs Scrambler 400 X: Design The Scrambler 400 XC creates a striking visual impact. Triumph has provided it with cross-spoke tubeless wheels, which are not only visually appealing but also durable on rough terrain. A beak-style front mudguard and colour-matched flyscreen contribute to its unique, rally-inspired design. To safeguard essential components, the XC includes extra crash protection around the engine. Further distinguishing it from its counterpart is its colour selection. Riders can opt for vibrant options such as Racing Yellow, Storm Grey and Vanilla White. Triumph Scrambler 400 XC vs Scrambler 400 X: Engine Both models are powered by the same mechanical foundation. A 398 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine drives both, producing 39.45 bhp at 8,000 rpm and 37.5 Nm at 6,500 rpm. With a broad torque spread and smooth throttle response, the engine excels in both city traffic and on dusty trails. The chassis and suspension setup is consistent across both motorcycles. Triumph Scrambler 400 XC vs Scrambler 400 X: Accessories and What truly differentiates the XC is its factory-installed accessories. Unlike the standard 400 X, which can be customised after purchase, the XC comes equipped with essentials like an alloy sump guard and engine crash bars already in place. These features not only enhance value but also provide riders with peace of mind when tackling unpaved paths. Triumph Scrambler 400 XC vs Scrambler 400 X: Pricing At ₹2.94 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), the Scrambler 400 XC is priced ₹27,000 higher than the 400 X. However, for adventure enthusiasts, this cost is justified by its included enhancements and capability to explore straight from the showroom.
