Located in Castel d’Ario, Italy (south of Verona), Nalini/Moa Sport has been serving the pro cycling industry since 1970. One hundred percent of production is done in Italy. A pro cyclist typically requires up to 60 individual pieces of clothing, from bibshorts and jerseys to shoe covers and gloves. A change in design -an additional sponsor, for example – requires 60 new pieces. The feedback and experience that Nalini gains from working with pro riders goes directly into the design of its apparel collections for every-day riders.
