Tige Feature Reviews

Wakeboarding logo "At night, the [Z1] looks like an ultra-stylish spacecraft on the water.” February 2010
WaterSki logo “[The Z1] starts with the ConvexV hull that curves up near the transom and works with the Taps2 for a complete range of wake customization.” March 2010
Wakeboarding logo “The Z1’s factory weight alone kicks a very impressive surfing wave, and the Z1’s nimble, tight handling makes it a blast to drive.” February 2010
"...with the Z1, a multipurpose ski boat that you can take from basic to upscale, depending on your needs... Now in it’s 20th year of production, Tigé made sure its latest generation styling package gives you incredibly bold colors and a graphics scheme that re-emphasizes you are taking no prisoners…” June 2011
WaterSki logo “Even better, with the new TigéTouch digital dash, all of the RZR’s multisport potential will literally be at your fingertips.” April 2011
Transworld logo “The ConvexV hull lets the RZR settle deep in the water for maximum displacement and the Taps2 system lets you dial in either side of the wake.” – Transworld Wake, August 2011
Transworld logo “The all new Tigé RZR combines a compact, easy-to-handle size with cutting-edge style and function. At exactly 20 feets, the Tigé RZR is perfect for riders who live on length-restricted waterways or who have smaller towing vehicles or garages.” – Transworld Wake
WaterSki logo “The combination of its ConvexV hull design and TAPS wake plate provides Tigé’s new RZR with maximum versatility. Simply drop the TAPS plate and you’ve got a great ski boat; raise it and you’ve got a wakeboard boat. Or it surfing’s your thing, add the surf ballast package to pump up an epic wakesurfing wave on either side of the boat. Even better, with the new TigéTouch digital dash, all of the RZR’s multisport potential will literally be at your fingertips.” – WaterSki
BoatingWorld logo “Our time [RZR] to 30 mph was a brisk 5.6 seconds, and we quickly reached a top speed of 41.6 mph. Not enough? Get the supercharged PCM 6.0L with 575 hp. Cornering is flatter than with most wakeboard boats, so you don’t feel like the gunwale is going to dip when you go for maximum curvature. With twin tracking fins, you can turn in an impossibly tight radius.” – BoatingWorld, January 2011
Boatingmag.com logo “Though Tigé created edgy styling complemented by bold graphics to add zing to its sporty craft [RZR], behind the helm, little of that is seen and none is necessary to prove the company is a substantial player in the inboard wake and waterski boat market…Even if the wave behind isn’t your focus, this is family fun machine.” – Boatingmag.com
Boatingmag.com logo “ Solid became the operative word throughout our test experience [on the RZR]…Solid? Yep, epic solid.” – boatingmag.com
BoatingWorld logo “Drive any Tigé and experience how it comfortably cuts through massive double-ups or safely cruises big-lake chop that other inboards cower in the coves.” January 2011
BoatingWorld logo “The R20, with its legendary Tigé craftsmanship, and remarkable performance, offers you everything Tigé is known for, priced to achieve the ownership dream.” January 2011
BoatingWorld logo “Regardless of water conditions, Tigé delivers a ride far superior to any other inboard, thanks to advanced engineering and our patented ConvexV hull and TAPS2 technology.” January 2011
Transworld logo “The Tigé RZ4’s razor-sharp styling and progressive performance paces Tigé’s flagship RZ series, but the RZ2 is just 2 feet behind. After all, the RZ2 sports the same cutting-edge design and wide-open bow as the RZ4, and it boasts the same standard features as its big brother, including the iPadlike control of TigéTouch.”
Boating World logo “Advanced yet simple to use, TigeTouch dramatically enhances your entire boating experience.” (RZ2)
WaterSki logo “Riders will love the RZ2’s oversize swim platform, and the wide open bow allows you to put two passengers on the side up front to even out your bow-to-stern weight distribution. At 22 feets, the boat has a wide variety of abilities and can pull wakesurfers, skiers, and wakeboarders with solid performance. Wakesurfers will really appreciate the TAPS system, which lets the driver change the size and shape of the wave on the fly.”
Boating Life logo “[RZ2's]. Solid? Yep, epic solid.”
Boating World logo “ When comparing performance, the RZ2 puts similar 22s to shame.”
Boating World logo “It is cutting edge style, backed up by incredible wakes and renowned Tige handling.” (RZ2)
Wakeboarding logo “The RZ2 pulls double duty as both a wake beast and comfortable, family-friendly ride with plenty of style.”
Waterski logo “You’ll be amazed by the sheer volume and power of the surfing wake.” (RZ2)
Go Boating logo “The RZ2 is a great boat with serious wakeboard performance that can still accommodate the skiers in the group.”
Boating Life logo “Styling is head turning, cutting-edge, with multi-color schemes and stainless-steel bling.”
WaterSki logo “The Tigé 20i has always been a prime choice for boaters looking for the crossover capability to suit a family of buoy chasers and wakeboarders alike.” January/February 2006
WaterSki logo “The new design focuses on creature comforts (such as redesigned dash and Tigé-plush interior) without sacrificing any of the performance the 20i is known for.” January/February 2006
WaterSki logo “The result is a ski boat worthy not only of professionals but of families too.” January/February 2006
WaterSki logo “Tigé’s 20i is a different type of offering in the tournament slalom boat market. While its wakes are small and soft enough for shortline shredding, it’s only a push of a button away from its ConvexV wakeboard-approved wakes for crossover sets on the wakeboard. This versatile design is packed with creature comforts not commonly found among other boats in its class. A deep freeboard, spacious layout, raised captain’s chair and automatic TAPS wake enhancer make the Tigé 20i a top performer in the multisport category.” – WaterSki
Go Boating logo “The 22i is aimed at the boater who likes to wakeboard as much as he likes to ski.” January 2006
Go Boating logo “[The RZ4's] overall styling blends sleek, sexy lines with hard edges, such as those used in the European auto industry.” June 2008
Boatingmag.com logo “The RZ4 throws out the biggest, meatiest wake of all the Tigé’s we tested and is definitely a great evolution of the company’s RZ line.” – boatingmag.com
Go Boating logo “…[The RZ4's] acceleration is exceptional.” June 2008
Go Boating logo "We attribute the RZ4’s exceptional acceleration, top speed, fuel economy and overall performance to the innovative design of the ConvexV hull, which allows the drive to adjust running attitude, helping to reduce drag.” June 2008
