Measurement technologies specialist Hexagon and the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) are partnering to modernise how FIM validates and verifies racing motorcycle designs. The multi-year agreement will help FIM improve and standardise technical homologation and compliance using measurement equipment from Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence for the FIM Superbike World Championship (WorldSBK). 

For the 2026 season, FIM is already using Hexagon’s Absolute Arm seven-axis portable measuring arm and Absolute Scanner AS1 laser scanner to measure motorcycle dimensions and individual parts that are tightly controlled and determine compliance with FIM regulations. The homologation work of FIM guarantees a level playing field for competitors in WorldSBK and other motorcycle championships under the FIM’s authority.
