What exactly is a pista?

I see numerous bike manufacturers sell what they call a "pista". What exactly does pista mean, or what is a pista? Thanks

Chris

Pista is the Italian word for 'track'.

Pista is commonly used in Latin America for a limited access highway as well. As in Autopista, or just pista for short.
