I would imagine that the benefit of better suspension, ergos and just an overall updated design make it quicker turning and more agile.

I had been riding KDX's for 6 or 7 years before my Gasgas, and agree with firffighter. The Gasser feels more agile and turns better. The KDX's suffered from lots of rebound in their forks - the gasser is much easier to hold a line on off cambered corners or sections of trail, where the KDX would find itself slipping lower and lower down the slope. I really liked the KDX but I like the gasgas more! Also, the power all through the rev range is so much more than the KDX and I feel this helps the Gasags feel much more alive and flickable.
