The Tige RZ2 2007 vs Tige RZR 2012 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Tige RZ2 2007 measures 22,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 20,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Tige RZR 2012 at 2,0 feet (2012). At 39 lbs and 31 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The Tige RZ2 2007 carries a rated maximum of 400 hp. Engine data for the Tige RZR 2012 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Tige RZ2 2007 carries 47 gallons versus 38 gallons in the Tige RZR 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Tige RZ2 2007 is rated for 14 passengers, while the Tige RZR 2012 caps at 12. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Tige RZ2 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Tige RZ2 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 14 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Tige RZR 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 12 that costs less to run day-to-day.
