I had not read their webpage and was under the impression skin friction reduction was their argument.

That being said, in order to achieve 20% reduction in FE you'll need to reduce the Cd by more than 30% as you have to take rolling resistance and driveline/accessory losses into account. That's just not gonna happen.
