Not at all, it's quite good and smoking fast. Get it around the mid 20 mph range and it just seems to take off on it's own while the pedaling effort seems to ease off.
Of course that is a mountain bike saddle on it so maybe that's why it's comfortable, LOL! That and the cushy Veloflex tires.
I have had harsh riding bikes that I needed to smooth out with fatter tires, Fizik Kurves saddles, etc. This one just feels light and smooth under me. I haven't needed to play with the setup at all and I ride on some pretty crappy chipseal roads.
