When I am shopping for new stuff I often see these terms afterwards. I only remember LX, XTR, and XC right now but I think there were more. åre these some kind of rating or what.
Can someone list the different initials and a brief explanation of what each are for or the benifits of them.

Sounds like your looking at shimano brand bike parts. This should explain what you want. http://bike.shimano.com/mtb/index.asp
