Involved over the last decade Everyone at DGR, from Triumph and the DGR team to our dealers, the army of DGR organizers and ride hosts, and the many riders who passionately support this wonderful event and cause, should be proud of the impact they have made.

The electric motor is tuned to produce 80 bhp and 105 Nm of peak torque, and is mated to a 6-speed gearbox. The bike is supported by a tubular twin-cradle frame and features telescoping forks and preload-adjustable twin shocks at the rear.
