How do you properly maintain your bike?

Stuff picks

Every bike has two lives: one out on the trail, and the other at home or in the shop. The second life has a major impact on the first. Livigno is all set for life on the trails. And Cube cranks need to be brought into the shop, as there is a safety-related recall here.

Livigno is rebranding itself

Livigno 1816 Bike Zone

The new "Livigno | 1816 Bike Zone" brand gives this Italian biking hotspot and its growing range of offerings a shared identity. The brand encapsulates what makes the destination special for both the local and international biking communities: trails, services, hospitality, and training.
