Any one has idea on this brand?
Should I buy this or the Kestrel Talon X at 1200?

The Kestrel Talon only has one size left and is a little larger for me. Otherwise I would have bought Talon long time ago
NLA, see Front Page post for more options

While the Kestrel looks much sexier, the components on the Viathon 105 simply out-value the $178 price difference. The advertised weight is more than 1 Lb lower, which makes it almost a different class. (For a 17 - 18 Lbs bike, 1 Lb is a significant difference)
The biggest difference is the wheel. The Kestrel has very basic wheel sets that cost under $200. It may be perfectly ok for most people, but quality and strength may not be as consistent/good as more pricy wheels. (I didn't research on the weight of either sets, but suspect it is very different to account for the overall bike weight difference)
Also, the Viathon is completely Shimano 105 (except maybe bottom bracket (who cares) and the brakes are un-named.
In terms of brakes, the hydraulics are heavier, but gives you the flexibility of putting on much fatter tires. However, note that this bike is spec at 28mm max tire width. Both disc brake and tire width are pretty important for cyclocross. I have a local trail that is half paved and half rutted mud/gravel. I would not ride my road bike on it with 23mm tires, but 27mm is tolerable.
Disc brakes on road bikes are seem as "newer", resale would also be better if you care about resale...
I ride it a lot and I couldn't be happier.
This price is makes me want to buy a second one:-)

I put 32 mm GP 5000 TL on my 105 Viathon and while the clearance is a little tight, it's fine. But not much clearance for debris.
