I presume by "Enduro" you mean a full suspension MTB with about 140mm of travel? If so a budget of €1000 won't get close to anything decent! A bike with that amount of suspension travel will also be a pain on the road. I would suggest a good hardtail with RockShox or Fox forks and hydraulic brakes would be a much better place to start!
