I have a Trek Dual Sport Gen 5. I think it's a 2023 or 24 bike. I broke a crank arm on a recent ride, and now I'm looking to replace the cranks. From googling, it appears to be 'Trek-Diamant Wheel Top DCRX1 Double Crankset,' which further appears to be either out of stock or discontinued. What should I be looking for to replace this component?

When you asked your local bike shop, what did they say?
From looking at the specs on the DCRX1 crankset, a direct replacement is a 170mm 30/46t crankset.
Original owner? This might be a warranty failure. Pretty uncommon and Trek might be happy to semd you a new one in exchange for the broken one. Local shop can advise.
Why would you buy the same model after it snapped?!?! Just buy a decent one.
Take pictures and upload them to ChatGPT, this is basically how I live me life now
if you are going to replace the crank yourself, get ready to buy a torque wrench or torque meter because you will need a LOT of torque to tighten it back, and if you don’t it will just chew up itself and fall off.
just take it to bike shop or trek shop
You managed to publish the least informative photo possible. Show a side view of the bike so we can see the style of crank. Multiple formats are available.
