The Hexagon measuring system is also used at these assessments to confirm that the manufacturer-supplied documentation is correct.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These documents then set the homologation dimensions that all the parts have to conform to. As this information is shared with all the national federations around the world, it&#8217;s essential that the procedure is perfect,&#8221; explained Scott Smart, FIM WorldSBK technical director.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>&#8220;Our scrutineers like the Hexagon measuring system as it is highly-flexible and accurate across a wide range of sizes and part types.
