Most notably... It's a two-handed operation all the time until the bike is secured to the rack. You can't slide the bike in place and expect the rack to hold it there while you ratchet things down. I was a bit disappointed. It's not a deal-breaker, but I still prefer the function of the King Cobra over the Highroller. It's uglier, but it works better.
