A space dedicated to stories, ideas and trends shaping the world of cycling. In the LIVIGNO | 1816 BIKE ZONE โ€“ Talk Area, storytelling comes to life thanks to two podcast partners:ย velo.fm, an international podcast exploring the cycling universe every week โ€“ from MTB to gravel, from urban riding to bikepacking โ€“ through interviews and authentic stories; and TriCiclo, the new project by Scannellatori Seriali, combining cycling and triathlon with insights, current topics and stories from the endurance world.

During the festival, athletes, brands and insiders will take part in a series of talks focused on the most relevant topics in the industry, with a perspective that goes beyond MTB and also embraces the gravel scene. Conversations will be recorded as live episodes, turning the talk area into a dynamic space where the Bike Festival is told in real time, through exchange, inspiration and new perspectives.

The project is developed in collaboration with Livigno, an alpine bike destination perfectly aligned with the spirit of the Bike Festival, where riding, nature and outdoor culture come together in an authentic way.
