Both attempt to be "fast" tires, but using different approaches: GravelKings use a thinner tread, RHs use a lighter casing. If you need long tread life or a little better puncture resistance, the RHs have the advantage, but I've been pretty content so far with the durability (and cost) of the GravelKing type.
