A strong core and overall fitness (in my case I should say "relatively" strong) certainly helps. That is my common element to less back pain. No two of my bikes fit exactly the same but I can now ride any of them for long distances with comfort. I am sure I could still ride with tall handlebars, but feel I have progressed past that.
