A drive train comprises a sprocket arrangement and a force-transmission coefficient. The sprocket arrangement includes a plurality of rear sprockets and a plurality of gear ratios respectively corresponding to the plurality of rear sprockets. The plurality of gear ratios includes a largest gear ratio and a smallest gear ratio. The sprocket arrangement includes at least one individual sprocket-space provided between two adjacent rear sprockets among the plurality of rear sprockets. The force-transmission coefficient is obtained by dividing a total gear range quotient by a total number of the at least one individual sprocket-space. The force-transmission coefficient is equal to or larger than 0.97 and is equal to or smaller than 1.36. The total gear range quotient is obtained by dividing the largest gear ratio by the smallest gear ratio.
