I have a Giant Revel 1 with disc brakes, and anytime the fork rebounds or I lean over more than a couple inches the front rotor seems to be rubbing the pads. The rest of the time is it fine. There’s no squeaking or vibration when I apply the brakes. Is this fixable or is it just a problem because the brakes I have are low-end?

I would first check to make sure your fron axle is tight, along with the bolts that hold the rotor on. Sounds like something is loose in that area. One time I had that happeni to me and I stopped to check it out, my quick release wasn’t tight enough. Thats what happens when your too eager to ride

I experience the same thing when i turn. I checked to see if my breaks were tight and they were. but early in the season i had to tighten my breaks, they got a bit loose, and off. maybe just try and adjust them. other then that i just deal with it, I don’t really think it slows me down.
ohhh your rotor could also be bit bent.
