What would make a grease "bicycle specific"? I'm guessing it's a combination of water resistance and viscosity but I'd love to know for sure.
High Temp means it resists liquification (thinning) at (you guessed it) elevated temperatures. How hot does it get where you ride?

Bicycle Specific means it was purchased in high volume and re-packaged in small containers and re-sold at obscene mark-ups.

Don't be a sap; grease is grease (really!).
