no, it is not only lack of vibrations but for me this is a big component of a really comfortable ride (by vibration I mean rather big perceptable hits than small, high frequency vibrations that for example Spank Vibrocore handlebar is trying to fight with). that is why I do a lot of testing based on vibration measurements. But I also look for other things that makes a bike more comfortable to ride like pedals, handlebars or even gearing (you can read all about this on the benchmark bike section on my website).
