It is a combination of Superior BaseStocks and Additives...
Most Gear Lubes, do not even meet the Specs printed on the bottle and will not pass the required tests for Gear Lubes.
There is no Governing Body to insure that Gear Lubes meet Specs...

Although I am familiar with Silkolene by name, and I know they have a decent name in MotorCycle Racing just as Motul and AMSOIL do, I do not have any technical data other than what they post on their site, which is minimal. MSDS may be of help in determining how good it is... I did notice that their "Pour Points" are not too good on some of their oils which could be an indicator of how good their base stocks are.
Looking at what they do post, it appears to be in the same class as Motul being mostly Ester based, so I would have to presume that it is a decent oil.
Ester Based Oils have their drawbacks, just like with any product, and those are why AMSOIL and other True Synthetic Oils have gone to a PAO w/Esters.
AMSOIL uses a mostly PAO base with Esters as, Esters are Superior cleaners and also "Polarize" the oil so it clings to metal parts.
