Bike360 is located in Tuscany in Ponte Buggianese, between Firenze and Pisa. The bike park covers a massive area of 60,000m2 dedicated to all things bike, with a cyclo-cross race track, freeride tracks, dirt jumps, a drop zone, two camps for training and an MTB school. The Velosolutions Pump Track there is 250m in length and is one of the largest pump tracks in Italy. The track itself is certainly one of the most technical and challenging made in the country and is sure to make for a massive day of racing.
