FCR Original x DGR 2025: An unforgettable moment
On May 18, FCR Original had the great pleasure of taking part in the Distinguished
Gentleman’s Ride (DGR), one of the world’s finest motorcycle gatherings. This
2025 edition, supported by the Movember Foundation and organized in collaboration with
Triumph France, was an experience as elegant as it was supportive, combining passion
mechanics, refined style and mobilization for a major public health cause:
The fight against prostate cancer and suicide prevention among men.
A global event with strong values
Founded in 2012 in Sydney, the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride has grown to become a global benchmark in the motorcycling world. Every year, tens of thousands of bikers gather simultaneously in over 100 countries, dressed in their finest – suits, ties, three-piece vests – to ride with elegance and conscience.
The aim: to break down stereotypes about masculinity, and raise funds to finance concrete actions in favor of men’s health. In 2024, the global edition had already raised over $7 million. For FCR Original, getting involved in this adventure alongside Triumph France was an obvious choice.
Paris – Chantilly: a trip between enthusiasts, from the city to the countryside
The start of this Parisian DGR was given at Porte de Saint-Cloud, in the heart of the capital. Right from the start, the atmosphere was joyful, fraternal and resolutely elegant. Dozens of classic, neo-retro and pre-prepared motorcycles set off in the warm sunshine towards Chantilly.
The finish, at the prestigious Intercontinental Chantilly, was the apotheosis of a ride punctuated by the purr of well-oiled machines and the smiles of a community united around the same values: style, solidarity, sharing.
A Triumph Legend that lives up to its name
For the occasion, FCR Original unveiled a particularly symbolic piece: a Triumph Legendprepared in collaboration with Brett. Inspired by the timeless lines of Triumph’s Modern Classics range, this bike embodies everything we stand for: pure design, meticulous finish, a strong visual signature and a free spirit.
This machine, a perfect blend of British tradition and craftsmanship, caught the eye of many participants. It was undoubtedly one of the most photographed models of the day, testifying to the growing appeal of preparations that combine aesthetics and history.
It’s more than a wrinkle, it’s a statement.
Taking part in the DGR 2025 was much more than just parading around on a motorcycle with character. It meant reaffirming values: elegance, respect, freedom, fraternity. It also meant highlighting brands that share a common vision of the world of motorcycling: more human, more committed, more daring.
We would like to thank Triumph France for their invitation and their confidence, as well as all the partners and enthusiasts we met along the way.
Our partners in the spotlight :
BRETT, HEDON and soon RAER
At the DGR village in Chantilly, the finest brands were on show.
Brett: tailoring for a biker identity
Our partner Brett, a benchmark in motorcycle-inspired menswear, had set up a stand that lived up to its reputation: elegant, sleek and inspiring. Their suits, shirts and accessories tailored for gentlemen riders perfectly complemented the overall aesthetic of the event. Their approach to style, between vintage heritage and modern comfort, echoes our own vision: that of a free, demanding man on the move.
Hedon: the art of premium helmets
We were also proud to represent Hedon, a British brand renowned for its high-end, retro-designed helmets. Handcrafted in London, their models combine minimalist aesthetics, noble materials (leather, copper, composite fibers) and top-level safety.
Hedon doesn’t just sell helmets: it also offers pieces with character, designed as extensions of the rider’s identity. On site, several participants proudly displayed their creations – including some customized models – reminding us that elegance can even be worn under the helmet.
RAER: a meeting of worlds that make sense
Finally, the day was marked by a promising encounter: the RAER brand. At the crossroads of contemporary fashion, motorcycle lifestyle and textile innovation, this up-and-coming brand embodies a new generation of motorcycle lifestyle players. Their approach, both technical and aesthetic, immediately appealed to us.
An exclusive FCR Original x RAER collaboration is already in the pipeline. It will complete our universe with original pieces, designed for those who ride with style and conscience.
