Tourney
DXR is a BMX groupset
LX hasn't been a MTB groupset for getting on for a decade now, SLX replaced that
Saint and Hone are freeride / DH groupsets, they are of equivalent levels to XT and SLX, but not above in the hierarchy

Nothing wrong with the current Acera, this has a lot of the design that XT/SLX had a few years ago, and is fitted on bikes which a few years ago would have got Deore.
