If you are making a claim of a technical improvement and you have data to support that claim, it seems like you'd want it to be known. That sort of thing helps to build credibility. Without the data, it sounds like the same marketing baloney that everybody else has.

In any case, it certainly would be interesting to see a double blind study to determine if riders can perceive the difference.
