Piston Kings Motorcycle Community returns as host of DGR Arabia 2026 in Dubai, bringing together 350+ riders to raise awareness for men’s mental health and prostate cancer research.
Dubai, 10 May 2026:
Set to take place on Sunday, 17 May 2026 at 25th Jump Street, Dubai, the globally celebrated event will bring together more than 350 motorcycle enthusiasts dressed in elegant formal attire, all united to raise awareness and funds for men’s mental health and prostate cancer research.
Originally founded in Sydney, Australia in 2012 by Mark Hawwa, The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride has evolved into one of the world’s largest charity motorcycling movements. The annual ride combines vintage and classic-style motorcycles with a deeper mission — encouraging open conversations around men’s mental health while supporting life-saving health initiatives globally.
