Royal Enfield will mark its 125th anniversary with the 2026 edition of One Ride, a global motorcycling event that will support snow leopard conservation efforts across the Himalayan region.
Scheduled for September 20, 2026, One Ride 2026 will bring together Royal Enfield riders across more than 60 countries, with more than 1,600 rides planned worldwide. The event will connect riders from cities including Mumbai, Madrid, São Paulo and Sydney, as well as communities across continents and cultures, around a shared interest in motorcycling.
This year’s edition will carry an added conservation focus, with Royal Enfield pledging contributions towards Himalayan snow leopard conservation for every participant in One Ride 2026.
Every year, One Ride seeks to bring Royal Enfield’s Pure Motorcycling philosophy to life by uniting riders globally while encouraging them to leave every place better. The 2026 edition coincides with the company’s 125th year, marking a milestone in a legacy shaped by its riders, the roads they travel and the stories they bring back.
Building on the momentum of One Ride 2025, which attracted more than 53,000 riders, the 2026 edition aims to expand participation and its wider impact.
Mohit Dhar Jayal, President – Brand and Strategy, Royal Enfield, said, “The Himalayas have always held a special place in the heart of the Royal Enfield community. For riders, they are a place of pilgrimage; for the snow leopard, they are home. As we mark 125 years of Royal Enfield, One Ride 2026 allows us to bring our global riding community together around this shared connection and the responsibility that comes with it. Our relationship with the spiritual home—the Himalayas—goes beyond riding through these landscapes. This year, we are taking that connection a step further: every One Ride participation will translate into a pledge from Royal Enfield towards snow leopard conservation, turning our collective ride into a meaningful step towards protecting this extraordinary ecosystem.”
The Himalayas are home to communities and wildlife that have coexisted for generations, with the snow leopard described as a keystone species that plays a vital role in maintaining the balance of the high-Himalayan ecosystem.
Building on Royal Enfield’s long-standing conservation efforts in the region through the Royal Enfield Social Mission, this year’s One Ride will link every rider’s participation to efforts aimed at protecting the snow leopard and its habitat.
The snow leopard, with a current population of 718 in India, is a keystone species of the high Himalayas. Through its community conservation projects, the Royal Enfield Social Mission works across Himachal Pradesh, Ladakh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim and Jammu and Kashmir to protect snow leopard habitat.
The current initiatives cover more than 10,500 square kilometres of habitat, with 53 square kilometres brought under the Social Mission’s community conservation programme.
Riders can register to participate in a One Ride event near them through Royal Enfield’s One Ride registration platform.
