A drive chain includes a plurality of outer plates, inner plates and pins. Each outer plate has two outer pivoting holes and two first protruding surfaces. A virtual line connecting the centers of the outer pivoting holes of each outer plate is defined as a first major axis. Each inner plate has two inner pivoting ends and a first protruding portion. A virtual line connecting the centers of the two inner pivoting holes of each inner plate is defined as a second major axis. The first protruding portion has a second protruding surface. Each pin is threaded through two inner plates and two outer plates. An included angle is formed between the first and second major axes. The first protruding surface contacts and overlaps the second protruding surface to form an overlapping region whose area decreases as the included angle decreases.
