Nah, most of the line still comes with 2x drivetrains, including both "Comp" models (carbon and aluminum)
The Diverge, with it's Future Shock, high-volume tires, and rather upright geometry, should be a quite comfortable road bike. There's some compromise in efficiency that comes with that comfort, though. Depending what your objectives and priorities are, it may be a great road bike or an awful one.
