The best options for XC MTB clothing typically include lightweight and breathable materials, such as moisture-wicking jerseys and padded shorts for comfort. Additionally, consider investing in gloves for grip and protection, as well as a helmet for safety. Look for clothing specifically designed for Mountain Biking to ensure durability and performance on the trails.

For MTB-XC it's XTR, XT, LX. For MTB FR/AM you've got Hone and Saint. For road bikes it's Dura-ace, Ultegra, 105.
A XC Full Suspension, all Carbon Fibre mtb
Don't really know what you mean by all-terrain. A race bike is basically any bike that's considered good enough to be used in competitions - regardless of what kind of bike it is, MTB XC, MTB AM, MTB DH or whatever.
Depends on the type of bike. For a road bike - no. For a hardtail MTB - no. For a full suspension DH MTB - kinda. For a townie/dutch bike with fenders, rack and all - yes.
There's no fixed answer to that. The best bike would be the one best suited to your riding, your size and your wallet. If you want an easy starter bike that you can use to go places with, get a hybrid and have it fitted with lights, reflectors, fenders and a rack. Most people can stand the riding position, and it does OK on the road. If you want to do jumps and tricks and play around, get a BMX or a MTB Dirtbike. If you want to ride singletrack out in the countryside, get an XC MTB. If you want to ride centuries( long road rides at speed - get a road bike. Be aware that it'll take some time for your body to adapt to the riding position. If you want to hit the slopes for some jumps and drops - get a DH MTB. If you can't decide between the various flavours of MTB, look for freeride or all-mountain bikes.
Depends a bit on what kinds of racing you are thinking of. In MTB, there are cross-country (XC) and downhill racing, which doesn't really compare well to anything that BMX offers. XC events in particular is a lot longer than BMX races. But you can ride "dirt" with MTBs too, whic is fairly similar to BMX "dirt".
An AM bike is basically a cross between a XC and a DH MTB. Usually full suspension and long enough travel to take some fairly serious drops and jumps, but still light enough and with a gear ratio and a ride position that'll make it somewhat useful on the flat and during climbs. An AM bike is the best bike if you want to ride to the top, and do a decent descent. An XC bike will climb far better, but would suffer on the way down. The DH bike would be a pain to climb with, but be the best for the run down.
Cross Country... XC
It is: XC = 100-10 = 90
The Roman numeral XC represents the number 90
XC is the usual convention (X =10 subtracted from C = 100). More rarely seen is LXXXX (L=50 and XXXX = 40)
