About – Who We Are

Sessantallora is much more than a bike shop. It’s a project born from a genuine, lived passion — one that has grown over time into one of Italy’s leading references in the world of cycling, both online and offline. A reality that brings together retail, technical expertise, sport and community into a single ecosystem designed for anyone who loves to ride.

Chi siamo – La storia di Sessantallora | Negozio Bici Scott e Bergamont

The Origins:
A Passion That Becomes a Mission

It all starts with Fabio Gilioli, born in Carpi in 1979, who spent over six years living cycling from the inside as a professional rider, from 2002 to 2010. Years spent in the peloton, through training sessions, races, sacrifices and achievements — across Italy and Europe — that gave him a technical and human understanding that few can truly claim. When he chose to close his racing career, Fabio didn’t leave cycling behind: he decided to put it at the service of others. In 2010, Sessantallora was born — initially as a specialist biomechanical positioning centre, one of the first of its kind in Italy, in partnership with Velosystem. The goal was clear from the very beginning: to offer every cyclist, from beginner to experienced rider, the same care and professionalism that Fabio had known in the professional world.

The Growth:
From Biomechanical Centre to Full-Service Reality

Within just a few years, Sessantallora evolved into a complete, multifunctional hub. Today, the shop — both physical and online — offers a wide, carefully curated catalogue of bikes, technical clothing, components and accessories from the world’s leading brands. The specialist workshop handles every type of service, from routine maintenance to the most technical overhauls. The personalised training programmes designed by Fabio Gilioli are tailored to riders of every level. And the calendar of trips, training camps and group rides carries the Sessantallora philosophy well beyond the walls of the store.

We are official dealers for Scott and Bergamont, and partners of brands including Shimano, SRAM, Kask, Continental, Fizik, Maxxis, Selle Italia and Technogym. Every product we recommend, we truly know — because we’ve tested it, ridden it and, more often than not, sweated on it ourselves.

The Community:
Because Cycling Is Also About Sharing

Sessantallora is not just a brand — it’s a community. At the heart of the project lives an active sports association with racing teams across road cycling, MTB, triathlon and running. We organise weekly group rides, events, training camps in iconic locations for Italian cycling, and food-and-wine tours for those who prefer a more relaxed approach to two wheels. Every year, hundreds of enthusiasts choose to ride with us — and come back for more.

Our Philosophy

We believe the bicycle is one of the most powerful tools for living better: it’s good for the body, the mind and your relationship with the world around you. That’s why we work every day with dedication and passion, without ever losing the joy of doing what we love. Whether you’re looking for your first bike, want to push your performance further, or simply want to find people who share your love of cycling — at Sessantallora, you’re in the right place.
